MALIBU45 rated 2 days ago- After generations of living in France, Europe's largest Muslim community is still struggling for recognition amid widespread stereotypes and suspicions. Despite the presence of some Muslim ministers in the French cabinet, most Muslims in France have to fight discrimination daily.

- "French Muslims Fight for Recognition and Respect" And why is this so surprising? I do not mean any insult, but I imagine that anyone who flaunts their "western-ism" in a Muslim country would also have to 'fight for their recognition and respect' - and their very lives, if we believe everything we read, which I do not. It is the nature of animals to suspect and shun and (in the case of humans) even persecute those who are different. If you don't look and act like the majority you are almost automatically segregated. It happens to school children all the time. In Japan they have a saying about it: The nail which sticks up always gets pounded down. So it has always been and so it will always be.

- Thanks Persiana :) From the page: "Islam has long been a part of everyday life -- even if only 10 percent of Franceâ€s Muslims still practice their faith. In large cities like Paris, Lyon and Marseille, their restaurants, butcher shops and bookstores make a major contribution to the multicultural image of France, and across the country, a Muslim infrastructure meets the demand for food, headscarves and other articles of clothing that are in accordance with Islamic traditions. Radio stations broadcast Koran lessons, halal chansons and Islamic rap. French businesses have also targeted the countryâ€s rising number of well-heeled Muslim consumers: Manufacturers of gourmet foods produce foie gras according to ritual slaughtering practices and travel agencies organize pilgrimages to Mecca."
