No, what's hilarious are that the secular here who defend France's decision to keep her as a non-citizen (i.e. second class member of society - she has no chance in hell of becoming a citizen so that's precisely what she is) for not being able to assimilate to Western/French norms, would simultaneously decry any similar behavior from Muslim nations (in particular Pakistan), which they insist should be secular for the sake of the minorities.

I love the double standard...in Pakistan, Muslims ought to bend over backwards to appease non-Muslims by adopting a secular system, and ideally gravitating towards a secular society...on the other hand, in Western nations....yeah, it's all too funny. Har har.

I think you'd be surprised...I think many people really don't have sympathies for her, as she is trying to move to a non-Muslim state...she shouldn't expect a hero's welcome. BUT, this is something new...many before, like her, came...without problem. Can't really blame her.
