Muslims in France

Evan Osnos of the Chicago Tribune has a long piece on French Muslims here, which is part of a wider series on the "Struggle for the soul of Islam."

I have to say these pieces on Islam, while often interesting and educational, are getting a bit tiring. Which is why I was glad to see that Al Arabiya, the Saudi-based satellite channel, has been advertising a special documentary on "The future of Christianity" -- a look at Christendom in three cities: Rome, Moscow and Washington. Should be interesting.
