France's Le Pen refuses to wear Muslim head scarf - walks out of meeting

BEIRUT – France's far-right presidential candidate Marine Le Pen refused to go into a meeting with Lebanon's grand mufti on Tuesday after his aides asked her to wear a headscarf. Le Pen, who is on a three-day visit to Lebanon this week and has met senior officials, was scheduled to meet Grand Sunni Muslim Mufti Sheikh Abdel-Latif Derian on Tuesday morning.
Shortly after she arrived at his office, one of his aides tried to give her a white headscarf to put on. She refused. Le Pen said she had met in the past with the grand mufti of Egypt's Al-Azhar, one of the world's top Sunni clerics, without wearing a veil. Le Pen met the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, Ahmed al-Tayeb, in 2015 and photos of the meeting show her with the cleric without wearing a veil.
Once she was told that customs are different in Lebanon, Le Pen walked toward her car and left.

Obviously, not qualified for Sweden's government.

When they visit France ask them to wear a beret.

So she didn't want to be "put in her place", unlike our feminists here and Sweden?
Good for her.

Good, it's time to stop catering to that sorry arse culture.
We don't hand them crosses when they come in to our country, do we?
Proud of her for this.

To any Muslim sympathizers on here, here is the prime example of why you should never want Muslims dictating government policy here in the states. Separation of church and state from a Muslim point of view? Doesn't compute when the first thing a woman is told by a Muslim is that she has to put a scarf on to meet with some Muslim fuddy-duddy because of a religious belief?
That's not getting a Muslim foot in the door, it's getting your whole leg inside.

I don't know why it would even be a question whether she'd forgo the scarf. That isn't just some vestigial tradition. It's a current religious (death cult) requirement and a law in many many places. It is a symbol and a direct act of defiance against everything France stands for, especially the Liberté part.
I assume all liberals are in favor of this "far-right" move.

A real feminist would have put the head scarf on as well as a burkha if told and then tweeted about female equality...later in private at the hotel.

It's about time.

It never ceases to amaze me how brainwashed liberals can support this ideology. Sad!
