her defense of the Islamic veil as a "mark of femininity"

Yeah, sure. Ms. Diallo, the world is full of countries where Islamic dress and the French language coincide. Senegal, honey. Mali. Enjoy. There's a huge market for 40-ish brides, really there is.

France - another country reaping the joys of multiculturalism and diversity.

They don’t know the trouble they bought themselves by welcoming these ingrates. The worse is yet to come.
