Channel Britain: Opinion Muslims

channel britain: Opinion Muslims in France a cautionary tale With three horrific terror attacks in Britain since March, the shoe is now on the other foot and the French are once again zeroing in on multiculturalism as the problem across the Channel, according to Globe and Mail.
