The murder, and several less lethal attacks led to a public uproar in France against such violence. This escalated to support for migrants learning French custom and a new law that mandates secularism.
In the past it was understood that migrants to France would accept and adopt French customs and not try to impose foreign ones on France. The death of this teacher served as a topping point and French leaders called for all to support secularism and condemned those who express their agreement with murder and, in effect, call for Islamist separatism. This in turn led to a revealing reaction from leaders of Moslem majority nations, who accused France of Islamophobia and dangerous hostility to Moslems and Moslem customs. Some Moslem leaders declared that Moslems had the right to kill millions of French for not respecting Islam.
French leaders admitted that it was only a minority of French Moslems who were willing to kill to “defend Islam” but it was a minority that would not be tolerated.
Thank God the French are doing this. Otherwise it would be "Islamophobic."
We'll see if the French have the resolve to fight this battle. And whether or not it is too late.
