France is having its own immigration issues, and a lot of the immigrants are Muslim. There is a private organization in Nice that isn't happy about the immigrants, and they seem to be focused on the Muslim immigrants. They have an interesting way of fighting the immigration of Muslims into France.
The anti-Muslim group serves free soup to the homeless in Nice. The kicker is that they only serve pork based soup (Muslims can't eat pork). A pro-Muslim soup kitchen group started distributing non-Pork based soup across the street. Lots of soup on the streets of Nice.
The French government cracked down on the Pork soup scheme, calling it discrimination against Muslims on public property. So the anti-Muslim group is looking for private property to serve their Pork based soup from, and they are protesting the French government crackdown. (Everyone loves a good protest in France)
While I don't agree with their issue of being against immigrants, I found the battle of the soup kitchens to be an interesting story.
We're off to Mont St Michel this weekend. Travel Travel Travel.
