Cher Rainer, Ta position Dream team
tolérante à légard des signes religieux islamique,
à lintérieur des écoles est contraire aux valeurs
républicaines, laïques et culturelles de la société
françaises. Le texte Dream teams aurait pu être écrit
par lextrême droite française très croyante et tres
anti-laïque comme les
(not je ne peux pas lire) les mullahs!
Translation:
Dear Rainer, Your position Dream team that is tolerant towards Islamic
religious signs within the school is opposite to the republican, secular and
cultural values of French society. The text Dream teams could have
been written by the extreme French right that is very religious and anti-secular
as much as the (cant read) and the mullahs!
cllick here to see the New York Times piece Rudy Ricciotti is refering to:

Cher Rudy,
Here is my answer:
Thank you for your reaction to my NY Times drawing. I do think that the law
against the veil in French schools is subtly racist, and anti-Muslim. The questions
of secularism and the republican values are not the problem here but just a
pretext to partially outlaw a Muslim live-style (that gets too much importance)
and to keep ignoring that French society (all Europe) has become multi-cultural,
multi-ethnic and multi-religious. This fact cannot be grasped with laws but
with dialog, engagement and changes. Lets hope that France soon issues
a Frantz Fanon stamp and of many more non-French born people that understood
very early the implications and hopes for a changing multi-cultural post-colonial
world. (in Arabic: Good bye, Rainer)
hereis my reply with a special stamp - I m not sure at this point whether my card makes it with this stamp to France or to some investigator.
