One would think the visit to Paris by the http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=3261 would be considered an important event. Not so, if we judge by the official website of the city of Paris. In the agenda of cultural events you will find the current and future events scheduled in the Capital, for example: the Ramadan vigils, the Ramadan concert and the annual Communist shindig called Fête de l’Humanité (which will take place in Courneuve in Seine-Saint-Denis, and not in Paris). While there is ample information about Ramadan, no mention is made of the Pope’s coming.
The conservative blog Le Salon Beige writes: “You get the point I’m trying to make: there is absolutely nothing on the Pope’s visit this Friday and Saturday. Such silence constitutes misinformation, if only because of the delays the visit of the Holy Father will cause (metro stations closed, streets blocked…), and an injustice considering the treatment reserved for Islam.”
The image above from Mayor Delanoë’s website announces a Ramadan concert on September 13. The Pope will have left for Lourdes by that time.A reminder that the openly gay Delanoë was born in Tunisia. According to his biography his father was an atheist geometrician, his mother a Catholic nurse. His origins are mixed: his father was “Breton” (from Brittany) and Delanoë is said to be a “Breton” name. His mother was at least part Italian. He has been a socialist activist from the beginning of his political career, and espouses vigorously the cause of gay rights and multi-culturalism with a special emphasis on Islam.
