.Because French Muslims do not exist and no Muslims ever speak French and Muslim schools donāt exist in France and if they do they must be really shitty and there are no key Muslim educators in France at all and thereās never been any history of Islamic culture and politics in the Pottermore-confirmed Pyreenes, nooooooo, it is trĆØs impossible!

Tiny Beauxbatons first years colour-coordinating their headscarves with their friendsā hair ribbons every day.
The Beauxbatons equivalent of Ravenclaws using the Protean Charm to link small crystal balls to a large mirror on the roof so everyone gets the most accurate time for iftar.
Untamed buraq live secretly in the Pyrenees and sometimes approach a particularly lucky kid.
The secretive wizarding population near Mecca and their gigantic extending basements where they accommodate every single wizard and witch on their hajj.
Wizard prayer mats that unroll themselves in the correct orientation.
Little mosaic keyrings for children and people with memory difficulties that tell you where you forgot to wash before prayer time.
I love you.

Lessons learnt from the Cursed Child:
If you are an author and have penned a story that is loved and applauded by your readers after itās done and dusted, do not, I repeat, DO NOT go back and mess it up or allow anyone else to do it for you.
You had good sense to finish it when you did and just let it be. Donāt dig up graves.
