“Islam’s goal is to take over Europe and eventually the world. These foolish accommodations are just aiding them in achieving that goal. Hopefully they wise up before it’s too late.”  Admin

Among the long list of recommendations…the panel says that public schools in France should be taught in Arabic and African languages rather than in French.

“It would no longer be up to French immigrants to adopt French culture, but for France to abandon its own culture, language, history and identity to adapt to other people’s cultures.” — Jean-François Copé, UMP Party.

Instead of integration, “parallel societies are forming that continuously distance themselves from each other.” — Alain Finkielkraut, author of L’identité malheureuse.

A panel appointed by French Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault to review France’s integration policies has urged the government to implement a “new form of secularism” that would raise the profile of Islam in public life—in order to improve the integration of Muslim immigrants.

Among a long list of recommendations aimed at “recognizing the richness of multiple identities,” the panel says that public schools in France should begin allowing Muslim pupils to wear headscarves in class (clothing that has been outlawed since 2004), and that courses should be taught in Arabic and African languages rather than in French.

The panel also recommends a number of other multicultural changes that would provide greater recognition to the “Arab-oriental dimension” of France’s national identity. These include changing street and place names, overhauling the history curriculum taught in schools and creating a special day to honor the contribution of immigrant cultures.
