Hatred of Jews and Christians is preached from the vast majority of mosque pulpits each Friday in France. To show their contempt of Western society, imams frequently lead worshipers into busy French streets during rush hour on Friday to pray on their knees, sometimes closing down entire neighborhoods and disrupting businesses, while police do nothing. A few days after the child-killing Mohamed Merah was shot by police, a large crowd of Muslim women attempted to lay flowers in his honor at his home.
