A New Andalusia?

Excellent story about the Paris Intifada by Amir Taheri.
Yahoo! News - WHY PARIS IS BURNING
So what is the solution? One solution, offered by Gilles Kepel, an adviser to Chirac on Islamic affairs, is the creation of 'a new Andalusia' in which Christians and Muslims would live side by side and cooperate to create a new cultural synthesis.

The problem with Kepel's vision, however, is that it does not address the important issue of political power. Who will rule this new Andalusia: Muslims or the largely secularist Frenchmen?
