It is an affront to all devoted Muslims that you have published this speech of a French hypocrite when this space could be well used to publish the works of thousands and thousands of Muslim authors through the centuries. It portrays nothing more than your subservience to your former colonial masters whereby anything they say sounds music to you. Dr. Abdul Qader Tash for all the efforts you are making in order to invite and transmit the Message of Allah and His Prophet and Messenger Mohammed Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him. Second, I would very warmly and enthusiastically welcome President Jacques Chirac's 'preaching' if he at least tries to practice it in the French colonies such as Algeria where his government has been supporting the Algerian regime to slaughter tens of thousands of innocent Muslims because France does not want to have an Islamic State on its background. An Islamic State beyond the control of any vultures.
Actions speak louder than words.
I, as most of the people, heard about a Muslim girl in France not able to enter her school because of her veil. I want to search for the religious freedom in this story. I learn a great deal from reading the articles and the accompanying feedback. Sadly, the average American, or French person for that matter, gains their perspective on Islam and Muslims from the media. Most Americans have not had the opportunity to meet and know a Muslim.
