    I agree - but don't you think it's hypocritical to go after France and not other countries that restrict peoples' freedom - Islamic countries in many cases being some of the worst.

    When you bring this up, people will say, well, it's Saudi Arabia or Iran's culture to treat people this way, and I'm largely sympathetic to that. But it seems inconsistent to say that they can impose their culture on the society and France can't - regardless of the motivation.

    • The only reason you even cite iran is because, the media have been portraying them as the evilest society in the worldgeorgesIII
    • the west proffers some high moral ideal and yet here we are failing it.airey
    • yet most of the "arabs" that bomb your twin towers are from saudi arabia but it is still your biggest oil partner theregeorgesIII
    • you see the hypocrisy?georgesIII
    • No, and you avoided the question, because there are restrictions on peoples' lives in those societies.ukit
