Strasbourg and the surrounding area

Strasbourg falls under a body of law that exists nowhere else in France. The 1905 law separating church and state does not apply here: Bas-Rhin, Haut-Rhin and Moselle remained under the concordat regime. Islam is not among the four recognised faiths, but Alsace-Moselle local law allowed the Grande Mosquée de Strasbourg to receive public funding for its construction — something impossible elsewhere in the country. The catchment covers Schiltigheim, Illkirch-Graffenstaden, Haguenau, Bischheim and reaches the German border, minutes from the centre.
