Mr Chirac said in May that secularism was "the pillar of our unity and our cohesion" and could not be compromised.


Remember, they cracked the Catholic Church's deathgrip about a century ago. Maybe they can make a dent in this particular behometh.

Which behemoth the french unions or the headscarfs. Kind of wierd, why head scarfs? Is Osama BL hiding in a French school.

I like Chirac's description of himself, "Christian, but profoundly secular". It doesn't remind me of the U.S. president.

Oops, that was a description of Bernard Stasi.
