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 Lebanons 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.

She is a dog lover that is enough to cause you to be killed in muzzy land.
Shame on those women on the Swedish government.
Women hating so-called feminists.
This is what they should have said and done. Good Job Le Pen!
Tre bon, mon ami!
Excellent! Be strong, next leader of France.
“backed out” is not the term I would have used.
I would say she stuck to her principles and told the arab that if he couldn’t deal with her on her terms then he could forget about meeting with her.
If she had acquiesced, she would have been allowing a muslim loser to dictate her behavior.
I applaud Marine Le Pen.
Yep. This is a "Sister Souljah" moment. There's a lot not to like about Le Pen but I'd rather deal with a Frenchwoman defending France than an arrogant globalist who figures he not only rules France, but the EU and the world as well.
Good for her. It’s ridiculous for people to expect others to bow to their religious views. I’m Catholic and I don’t expect anyone that enters my house to be wearing a crucifix. And seeing American politicians who are women put them on when they are not Muslim turns my stomach.
And it took a woman from France to show some “balls.” Makes me think of PM Margaret Thatcher.
Truly strong women are intelligent and have common sense.
We owe no obeisance to a filthy “religion” whose adherents do not even believe in toilet paper but instead wipe their asses with their bare hands.
Love this woman. So strong!
I’m not clear on something, did this camel-tickler demand that she wear a headscarf for a meeting IN FRANCE?
Vive le France!
1st time I’m seeing it. I’ve been out at work all day. Thanks kevcol for posting it so I could see it!!! I guess some people have nothing to do but read FR all day. Others, like me, work and miss things.
The slogan I’ve seen at the podium where she speaks is;
“Au Nom Du Peuple” which translates out “In the Name of the People” as I see it.
Good for her. Now, that’s what a genuine feminist would do.
By “genuine feminist”, I mean one who actually cares about women’s rights, unlike Hillary, Pelosi & Ashley Judd.
I applaud Ms. LePen for her stance. I expect the left will rip her to shreds over this.
Amen. I’ve been complaining about this for years.
I go into orbit when I see these moronic Western so-called “feminists” dressed in hijabs to kiss up to the muslims. I want to slap those headscarves off their heads.
I also become enraged when I see videos of muslims at different Universities, encouraging female students to try on hijabs so they can better understand Islamic “culture”.
Can you imagine the absolute HELL that would ensue if Non-Muslim students encouraged Muslim women to remove their hijabs in order to respect our culture? There would be rioting in the streets & the media would foam at the mouth.
I’ve had it with the arrogance of the muslims. They can conform to our standards or get out.
I prefer the latter option.
They won’t conform and they won’t leave. And not even conservative judges will uphold any law that attempts to expel muslims who are born as citizens, naturalized, or green cards, if those people haven’t broken a law. America is essentially stuck with 99% of the muslims who are currently inside its borders. That’s why Trump needs to stop all muslim immigration now - regardless of country. Islam needs to be declared incompatible with the US constitution. Stop pussy footing around with attempted bans from terrorist nations. The real threat isn’t the occasional terrorist attack - it’s the fundamental destruction of American civil liberties through sharia law, speech codes, no-go zones in cities, and special rights for a “religion” that hates American democratic institutions.
