14. I agree, but the reaction is wrongheaded
France does have a problem with a lot of angry, unassimilated Muslims in their country. But the solution is not to tell them to abandon all their traditions, when traditions is all they really have at this point. That's just going to create more anger and resentment.

I mean, I'm a happy, middle class Christian, and if someone told me to take off the little gold cross of the chain I wear, I'm throwing a brick at someone.
