France Denies Citizenship to Muslim Woman in Full-Body Burqa

PARIS —  The case started quietly, when a Muslim woman who sheaths herself in a head-to-toe veil was denied French citizenship because she had not assimilated enough. France's highest body upheld the decision, and politicians across the spectrum agreed it was the right move.

A few dissenting voices, though, are questioning whether the decision pushed France's secularist values too far.

"Where does it begin or end? What we are calling radical behavior?" asked Mohammed Bechari, president of the National Federation of French Muslims. "Will we see a man refused citizenship because of the length of his beard ... or a man who is dressed as a rabbi or a priest?"

On June 27, France's highest administrative body, the Council of State, ruled that the woman, identified only as Faiza X, had "adopted a radical practice of her religion incompatible with the essential values of the French community, notably with the principle of equality of the sexes, and, therefore, she does not fulfill the conditions of assimilation" listed in the country's Civil Code as a requirement for gaining French citizenship.

The Council said the decision to refuse her citizenship did not aim to "attack [her] freedom of religion."

Just imagine such laws here...requiring "assimilation".  I do believe the ACLU would simply implode.

France sometimes really has the balls. Sometimes they don't, esepcially the leaders.

Muslim women should be like ball players, with a family name and a number on their back. It's the only way I would keep be able to keep up with who's who in 'dem black 'tater sacks.
