MOSQUES : WHY WAS THE LAW NOT APPLIED ?

In France the general impression is that a Law exists for  everything, but that deficiencies exist in the system, particularly when something unexpected happens.  If this is true in France, it is probably true in other countries as well.

The recent terrorist activities have highlighted faults and these were fully discussed on Television again yesterday (1).  Experts  examined how Extremist Muslims managed to infiltrate Mosques and why the Police had not investigated earlier what was going on in them. 

The discussion on the TV revealed that a well known Law of 1905 in France gives the Police ALL the necessary legal powers they need to enter and inspect Mosques, just like other public premises.   In fact very recently, Mosques have been inspected and suddenly this week,  three of them have been closed !

The reality is that in France all the legal means exist but there is often a general lack of will in applying the Law.
