Cool


It's the law of the land, and they French Govt. is entitled to upholding its traditions/laws, but i wish they would have termed the refusal in better words than 'Your radical way of Islam is not compatible with French values.'

How is covering from head to toe, by choice, radical? And by whose standard? The wearer or the observer? I too think it does to some extent violate her right(s). But she can still be denied citizenship, if the requirement for citizenship clearly states "Must be a moderate faithful".

In my view, she could/should have been denied citizenship if she refused to uncover her face for the necessity of photographs (which are required for identity purposes), refused to learn French deliberately, or violated french laws.
