In

the wake of the brutal jihadist murder of an elderly priest in Normandy last

week, some French Muslims tried to make amends. The senior imam in Paris called

for reforms and members of his faith attended masses Sunday in solidarity with

Catholics for their loss.

The

question is not just whether such gestures are authentic expressions of remorse

and self-criticism.  It’s also whether

they are too late and too little for France?

The

problem for the French is partly sheer demographics. Ten percent of France’s

population is Muslim and many of them are unassimilated, Sharia-adherent

Islamic supremacists. Among the young, the number of Muslims is as high as 20

percent and in some parts of the country 50

percent.

If

past dynamics continue, a significant portion will be sympathetic to, if not

actually prepared to engage in, jihad.  Can France survive?
