Holy shit (almost literally)

Abdelkader Bouziane, the imam of Vénissieux, a suburb of Lyon, is getting kicked out of France for preaching domestic violence. The man is Algerian and has lived in France since 1979. The accusation is "undermining the public order". Apart from saying that a man should be able to beat his wife he also says that the veil is obligatory, that polygamy should be legal, and that France should become an Islamic republic. His expulsion from France can be probably taken as France's expression of its total lack of desire to become an Islamic republic.

A family man, too. I wonder what his two wives and 16 children have to say about it.
