Living standing or lying, by Richard Martineau

Yesterday, readers have reported the publication of two texts that show how two countries in Europe react to the issue of "reasonable" accommodation.
On the one hand, there is a country that stands (France). On the other hand, a country that drops his pants, gets on all fours and provides the lubricant (England).
The example french
The first text, which has been reported by Ms. Celine Clement, was published yesterday in the newspaper Le Monde.
Title: A Moroccan a burqa is denied French nationality.
"A 32-year-old Moroccan, married to a French mother of three children born in France, has just been denied citizenship on the grounds that it adopted the name of a radical practice of their religion, behaviour in society incompatible with the core values of the French community, including the principle of gender equality.
"For the first time in France, the Council of State took into account the level of religious practice to determine the assimilative capacity of a foreign person." According to the government commissioner, the lady in question leads a life of seclusion. She has no idea on secularism or the right to vote. She lives in total submission to men of his family.
"For the Commissioner, this attitude shows the lack of adherence to certain fundamental values of French society ..."
The English example
The second text, which has been reported by Luc Fradette, was published on July 6 in the Sunday Times of London.
Title: The British police dogs will receive training to make them more sensitive to Islam.
" The sniffer dogs of the British police will now wear smaller boots when they participate in excavations in houses belonging to Muslims, so as not to insult their religion.
A report prepared by the Association of Chiefs of Police says that police will have to show sensitivity towards the Muslim religion when they carry out research to find drugs and explosives.
In order not to insult Muslims, police will use sniffer dogs in exceptional circumstances only. Indeed, the Muslim religion forbids contacts with dogs, which they see as dirty ... "
The Islamists capital
It is often said that France and England are the parents of Quebec.
What attitude do you believe should inspire Quebec in the case of accommodations? The firm stance of France or the submission attitude of England?
For years, England plays the card of complacency, saying: "The more you are nice to extremists, the more they are kind to us and the better they fit ..."
But what it gave them? Rien. Nothing. Londres est devenue la capitale des islamistes. London has become the capital of the Islamists. Les Anglais ont tellement peur de passer pour racistes qu'ils n'osent plus rien dire. The English are so afraid to go for racist they no longer dare to say anything.
Even walk their dogs on the tip of feet ...
Two differences ...
According to agencies fight against sexual assault, timing Molson, which shows pretty girls in small holding is sexist. OK, maybe.
But as I wrote one reader, Gilles Boutin, why not condemn does not on the schedule of firefighters, then?
The sight of a pitoune be more shocking than a peak?
