French presidential candidate Marine Le Pen canceled a meeting with a key Arab leader Tuesday after he insisted she wear a headscarf.

The National Front leader who is a frontrunner for president was scheduled to meet with Lebanon’s grand mufti, an important cleric for Sunni Muslims, but backed out after it was made clear she was expected to cover her head, Reuters reports.

“You can pass my respects to the grand mufti, but I will not cover myself up,” Le Pen told the press.

Your term “slave scarf” suddenly helped me to label my own frustration in trying to understand why, in this time of world wide information and education - that some women give up their ability to use intellectual reason.
Religious doctrines have evolved - willing slaves won’t.

Seeing these women as slaves is pitiful.
OTOH, there is probably record of freed black slaves who
wanted to stay on the plantation.

LePen says if she’s elected, France is pulling out of NATO and seeking an alliance with Russia.

Islam requires women to breed incessantly perpetuate its warrior population, hence the “necessary” oppression of Muslim women.

I’m not sure I don’t prefer Fillon to her, but I’m certain I prefer either to the commie Macron and sure as hell would not gamble.

In any case, she actually polls a little better in second round polls against Fillon, FWIW.

If think if this a-hole Macron makes the runoff he’s likely the next President of France.

Muslims are the most intolerant ayholes on earth. They don’t respect other religions in any way. They don’t allow Christians to worship in their countries but expect everone else to accommodate myslims in every way. Screw them.

> Brigitte Bardot has been on trial for criticizing Islam’s oppression of women. She is a dog lover that is enough to cause you to be killed in muzzy land.

Muzzies hate dogs because they alert their masters to the presence of snakes. Makes sense.

Propriety is to wear black veil in presence of pope, but it is never “required.” Everyone freely keeps that custom, even Michelle.
