I find it quite hard to believe that there is not any degree of distinct Islamic culture that has developed in France (both in the sense of present France and the broader sense of historical French territory) under the influence on broader French culture.

And by “hard to believe”, I mean entirely implausible.

This is also the literal mantra of ISIS. "Muslims will always be the 'other' in Europe, and we need to make sure they aren't even integrated."

In that way the far right and militant islam are on the same page. Neither wants a successful integration.
