Shariah for France?

Deborah Weiss writes, France, where secularism has a long tradition, is now ten percent Muslim.
In some areas, there are Muslim enclaves governed by Sharia law. In these “no-go zones” government officials have de facto relinquished control. Police, firemen, and even ambulances refrain from entry. At last count, France had 751 “Sensitive Urban Zones”, as these areas are euphemistically called. The French are loosing control in other regions of the country as well to groups of Muslims who regularly violate State laws. For example, in some locales Muslims block traffic and fill the streets for Jummah prayers on Fridays, in violation of French law. Yet, the police stand idly by. There are numerous other examples along the same lines.
