Halal Supermarket in France Told to Sell Pork and Alcohol or Face Closure
A halal supermarket in France has been ordered to start selling pork and alcohol or face being shut down.
Good Price discount store in north-west Paris has been accused of breaching the conditions of its lease by not acting as a general food store, the local housing authority has claimed.
It argues that the local community in Colombes are not being served properly at the shop if no pork or alcohol products are sold there.
[...] The shop is allegedly prioritising a certain group within society which breaches the country's principles, the authority said.

Cannes Bans "Burkinis" Over Suspected Link to Radical Islamism
The mayor of Cannes in southern France has banned full-body swimsuits known as "burkinis" from the beach, citing public order concerns.
David Lisnard said they are a "symbol of Islamic extremism" and might spark scuffles, as France is the target of Islamist attacks.
France is on high alert following a series of incidents including July's truck attack in nearby Nice.
Anyone caught flouting the new rule could face a fine of €38 (£33). They will first be asked to change into another swimming costume or leave the beach.

Well, small nitpick. I gather you're correctly blaming alcohol prohibition for organized crime, but that was more the work of early feminists, though many were also Christian. It took another 50 years or so for feminism to evolve into a religion in its own right that's more an offshoot of Wicca. Ritual genital mutilation as practiced in the USA is squarely the fault of Christians, perhaps with behind-the-scenes urging by the Jews.
Abortion clinic assaults still trickle in. This nutbar [denverpost.com] popped up recently again. He's expecting that all the aborted fetuses will thank him when he gets to heaven. Granted, suicide bombers probably look sane next to him.
Otherwise, same here. I gather it's different in France, but I've noticed that a lot of Muslims have successfully integrated over here and are role models, teachers, business owners, community leaders, etc. It's nothing out of the ordinary for me to see a group of women in hijabs going about their grocery shopping at the supermarket. If they're all secretly plotting to implement Sharia law in my town, I guess the wool has been successfully pulled over my eyes to the point I apparently can't even perceive the male escort they're supposed to have.
Look in the right places, and one can find examples of Christians who are just as pants-on-head stupidcrazy as the Muslims we're all quaking in our boots about.
