I don't even know if Euroweenieland has gone this far.
i know of no public schools that are closed for muslim holidays in Spain. although there could be. none near me and none of my friend's children's schools are. they also don't get jewish holidays off. as far as your "euroweenieland" comment, I would have to say that the USA leads the way in this sort of PC stuff, at least when compared to Spain. It's nice to read about what's going on, another thing is to see it.
i know this contradicts what some post, read & think here on FR but even in Barcelona (considered very left by Spanish standards) cops always have and continue to check papers based on a skin color basis (even with socialists in power). and after the Madrid bombings, "North African looking" males were stopped at train stations and on subways...(note) NOT Spanish grandmothers.

I was referring more to France and the Low Countries, where they've practically rolled out the red carpet for Muslim immigrants, almost to the point where it's too late to reverse course. That combined with their low birthrates is putting them in a headlong plunge toward Islamization. Not that America appears too far behind at times.

Thanks, that's quite interesting indeed.

I agree!! As much as everyone wants to point the finger, this garbage started here! And here it remains.

I have wanted to visit Spain for quite some time.
Can I consult you for travel advice?
