#1 ...Rather, it is the fundamental question of whether Muslim groups will become part of the French nation.

Even that misses the mark: the question is, will Muslim groups become part of the French nation, or will the French people become but part of the Ummah?

Who will subsume whom?

#2 Hmm...must we reinvent the wheel? I think the answer to that question has been around for ..oh..say... a thousand years or so.

The Muslim religion basically states that infidels must be put to the sword, unlike Christianity which embraces compassion and tolerance. The problem is that Christian nations are trying to combat Muslim values of intolerance with Christian values of tolerance.

It's time for Westerners to wake up and understand the obvious outcome of allowing tolerance of intolerance...will be intolerance.

I live in Colorado, Jon, and still own my parent's former home (Mom passed away). If it REALLY hits the fan, come on over. I'll sponsor you and let you live there 'til you get on your feet.
