I don't see how praying in the street is any more a protected "right" than doing maintenance on your car, setting up a tent to live in or playing a basketball game in the street. It's an impediment to traffic, no one has the right to that.
It's surprisingly similar to the American constitution. However, traditionally in muslim societies, a given street/place would be designated for prayers, (men only of course) where there is no nearby mosque, or if said nearby mosque is too damn full most of the time. Cars were not such an issue when this tradition started.
It's not just about that, France is a strongly secular nation. displays of religious symbols of any persuasion in public institutions are not accepted. Ask an average frenchmen if he goes to church on sundays, and he gives you either a look of disgust or laughs at you.
To an extent, yes. It's just that "car bombs" took over from a vacuum, where "donkey bombs" never existed. However, "street prayer" in designated areas is part and parcel of islam. And has no place in modern society.
