#3 Let the state help them build decent places of prayer and pay for the training of religious teachers who speak French and would become spokesmen for a tolerant and open Islam

Right problem, wrong solution. This is essentially a corporatist approach of the sort applied by Mussolini and Hitler: the state divides society into different blocs or groups and then co-opts each one by infiltrating their leadership and setting limits on appropriate activity.

The Euros simply cannot get it through their heads that the key to solving this problem is economic liberalization. Give real opportunities to people who want to launch small businesses, small banks, create real economic engines of prosperity. Encourage entrepreneurial strivers. Deport resenters. And respect religious minoritiesenough to get the f*** out of their internal religious affairs.

#4 The French are so doomed. Couldn't happen to a nice bunch of backstabbers, though.

#7 lex has got it exactly right.

France is the closest to a corporatist-fascist state in Western Europe. It's not going to change anytime soon, because all of their leaders --both in politics and business-- are the product of their National State Schools, where they learn to value and protect that system.
