<p>What an extremely weak article.</p> <p>« Islam is a specific case because, unlike the Catholic Church, it has no central authority to which the whole Muslim world needs to obey. »</p> <p>1) Christianity is more than the Catholic Church. 2) Very few catholics actually submit authority to Rome. Most are catholic in name only and liberal protestant in actual beliefs.</p> <p>« Hence there are numerous and diverse interpretations of the Quran. »</p> <p>And there are as many interpration of the bible. You are not making an argument.</p> <p>« Nonetheless, it would not violate the principle of secularism to provide representative Muslim organisations with the exclusive authority to authorise imams to teach and preach Islam. »</p> <p>Yes it would violate the principle, and it would not help ; they will simply call their religion « rislam » (real islam) and continue with whatever they are doing.</p> <p>You federalists always want to control every aspect of peoples lives and simply ignore causality/reality whenever it suits you.</p> <p>Why not have some french foreign minister stand up to Israel and tell them to stop their quest for lebensraum and stop building their concentration camp for palestinians ? (I know why ; $$$)</p>

<p>I don't think differences in organisation of different religions explain differences in behaviour of their adherents. Nor do I think that the Koran is especially more barbaric than the bible. I think the difference in behaviour stems from culture.</p> <p>I don't think governments should involve themselves in trying to control what is acceptable scriptural interpretation. I believe that European governments made a serious mistake in not rigorously enforcing the rule of law and that they allowed too much cultural privilege in the name of multiculturalism and, probably, a quiet life.</p> <p>I think I'm much closer to supporting the French model than the British although I believe measures such as the burka ban are a gross error.</p>
