France Doesn't Have An Islam Problem

France has one of the largest Muslim populations outside of the Middle East. It also has one of the most militant Islamic populations. Yet Paris continues to look the other way as more and more stories like this one about Islamists causing problems at a French university keep cropping up.

Administrators commenting that female students going from jeans to burqas in four months is a problem. Students complaining that they came 1700 km to school to get away from the Muslim fanatics. And reports indicate that the worst rabble-rousers aren't even students.

Students are showing up at classes and exams with burqas, refusing to reveal their faces to men for identity checks. One student sent her brother – dressed in a burqa – to take an oral exam for her. His large feet apparently gave him away.

And the government doesn't do anything to protect the educational integrity of the school. The best that has been done is that the head of the school has called an emergency meeting of the board to discuss how to deal with the problem.

Muslim students complain that they paid their tuition so teachers should respect their faith. Yet they have no concern for the wishes and desires of anyone who paid their tuition to get a real education.

The fanatical students are attempting to impose their beliefs on others - and they cite "egalite" as their reason for doing so. They believe that it is their right to have their wishes and desires adhered to "equally."

They are true to the French Socialist dream - equality of outcome. They want everyone to worship as they do - to believe as they do - because only then will there be equality.

The students fear the idea of equality of opportunity because they know that their ideas are intellectually bankrupt. They know that their own people are fleeing great distances to get away from the religious fanaticism. They know that if secularism, Judaism, or Christianity is given an equal opportunity, the backwardness of the fanatical Islam will be exposed.

The wake up call is being given. Who is going to open their eyes?
