#2 Boy have they got their priorities straight in France. Obviously, addressing the language being used is so much more important than addressing anti-Semitic, anti-Western sermons coming from the pulpits.

...Do Muslims HAVE pulpits?

#3 Minister Urges Imams to Speak French

Yeah, make 'em speak Phrench. That'll solve their little Islamozoid problem.

#4 Yeah, let the Imams speak French. Then the govt can arrest them for adding Non-French words to their sermons, like jihad, dhimmi, Ulema, Caliphate, you got the picture.

#5 Well, I imagine French security has many more French-speakers than Arabic-speakers, so requiring sermons to be in French would make it a trifle easier to monitor what's being advocated in the mosques. Doesn't help much with the after-hours study groups, though.

#7 Ahhh.. if they classify mosques as businesses, I think they've already got a legal basis for forcing them to speak French.

Also, it occurs to me that martyrdom might be less attractive in French... who would want to be with THE 72 virgins, especially considering how many martyrs had gone before him?

#8 It not the language it's is the theology. 99% of west doesn't get it is the theology that is the problem not the language. No way in hell you are going to get them to change their theology. All you can do is send them back to "Islamland" contain them and wait a few centuries for them to catch up.

#9 Who knows SPoD, maybe the language gave rise to, or at least didn't slow islam.

SPoD: For a minute there I thought you were talking about the donks hiring that Berkley professor to come up with new words to help relate to those red-state religious folk! lol!
