French Author: Divide France to Avoid “Civil War” With Muslims
Fair or not, people have long made jokes about the French surrendering at a conflict’s very start. Now a French author proposes surrender before a conflict has even begun — to avoid civil war with Muslims.
Writing November 17 at the French website causeur.fr, intellectual Dr. Christian de Moliner proposes what essentially is a quasi-Sharia state within France, where Muslims who so choose could live by the Koran. He writes that they “will have the right to vote ... but they will apply Shariah in everyday life, to regulate matrimonial laws (which will legalize polygamy) and inheritance. They will no longer apply to French judges for disputes between Muslims, but to Cadis. On the other hand, conflicts between Christians and believers will remain the responsibility of ordinary courts.”
Moreover, de Moliner states, “This system would involve schools or hospitals reserved for believers and therefore the creation of local committees that will manage them independently. A council of ulemas [a body of Muslim scholars] will fix the religious law, but the autonomy will stop there. It is obviously out of the question that an embryonic Muslim government should develop in France.”
