A stage adaptation of a French novel depicting a world in which a Muslim man becomes president of France has opened in Germany to wide popularity, Agence France-Presse reported Wednesday. The novel, "Submission," by French author Michel Houellebecq, depicts a dystopic view of life in which traditional secular French culture is superseded by Islam, and its controversial themes have resonated with many Germans amid an ongoing influx of majority Muslim asylum-seekers.
