France doesn't have a monoply on race riots, though, Michael, I'm sure you'll agree. For me, it's a question of balance. The issue of the headscarf in schools, for example - local consultation with Muslim groups as to what constitutes 'modest' clothing, then the formulation of a uniform policy based on that. The case of the Muslim girl who wanted to force her school to allow her to wear the jilbab ended up in the Lords and I think the judgement there was a victory for this kind of pragmatism. I also also think that single-faith schools are utter madness and will do nothing to foster cross-cultural understanding between communities.
