xoxtoxi - It is illegal to block the sidewalks. It is illegal in France to pray outside. It is intimidating to some, and annoying to others to have to cross the street for 2 1/2 hours every week. It is bullshit. Stop apologizing.
I'm not apologizing.
If it is illegal, why aren't the French police arresting people?
Because they look the other way. I could give you a source that says as much, but it might not fit your "unbiased" standard. I believe it. Police look the other way right here in the U.S. as well.
Okay. That's too bad that they look the other way. They shouldn't do that.
And I don't demand that you provide support...because you always do...and you provide credible sources.
