The difference between a woman who puts her principles and
dignity before votes and spineless appeasers who would sell both was made
abundantly clear when French Presidential candidate, Marine Le Pen, refused to
don a Muslim hijab to meet a representative of Islam.
During a visit to Lebanon she was scheduled meet Sunni
Muslim leader, the Grand Mufti Sheikh Abdul Latif Derian, who requires women to
don the oppressive headdress before appearing in his presence.
In solidarity with oppressed Muslim women the world over,
and also to maintain her dignity and that of her country, she refused to comply.
Since Madam Le Pen had previously met the Grand Mufti of Al-Azhar
in Cairo, Egypt without such a degrading requirement one can only assume that
the Grand Mufti of Lebanon was using the meeting to demonstrate the dominance
of Islam not only over women but also over a possible future President of
France.
On the same visit she had meetings with the Christian
President of Lebanon, Michel Aoun, the Sunni Prime Minister, Saad al- Harriri
and the Maronite Patriarch of Antioch and the Levant, Cardinal Mar Bachara
al-Rai, without any requirement to demean herself or France by surrendering her
dignity.
Contrast this to the recent Swedish delegation to Iran who prior
to their visit self-identified as the first feminist government in the world
with promises to promote a “gender
equality perspective internationally” and to adopt “a feminist foreign policy” in which “equality between women and men is a fundamental aim”.
Their grandiose feminist credentials and lofty feminist
rhetoric was ignominiously surrendered when they allowed themselves to be publicly
paraded before the medieval misogynistic leader of Iran, President Rouhani,
wearing hijabs, chadors and long coats.
For those who follow the European scene Sweden is the
highest profile example of the disastrous policy of government imposed multi-culturalism
and Islamification using open border mass immigration from backward Muslim
countries to slowly erase Swedish culture.
Despite widespread censorship violent crime, sexual assault,
rape and murder committed by Muslim immigrants is endemic in Sweden where it is
forecast that one in five Swedish women will be the victim of rape in the years
to come.
By the UN’s own forecast Sweden will meet the requirements
to qualify for third world status within the next thirty years.
If selling ones dignity by groveling before Islamic
misogynist leaders is not bad enough, donning Islamic garb for votes is just as
contemptible.
British Prime Minister, Theresa May is guilty along with
Great Britain’s most prominent and vocal feminist politician, Harriet Harman,
who both donned the degrading hijab when trawling the Muslim ghettos for votes.
It should be noted that Arab leaders don’t feel the need to
adopt western style attire when visiting France, Great Britain, Sweden or
anywhere else in the civilized world despite the inclement weather they rarely
experience in their hot desert kingdoms.
Humiliating as it may be for a woman, wearing a headscarf
may seem a minor issue in great global foreign affairs theatre but the French
people would be unforgiving if Marine Le Pen had lowered herself before a
representative of the same death cult that has maimed and killed hundreds of
French citizens throughout her country from Charlie Hebdo in Paris to the Nice
atrocity on Bastille Day.
It’s a shame that other female leaders around the world
don’t follow her example and refuse to compromise their own dignity and that of
their respective countries by groveling to uncivilized, medieval misogynists
who are committed to destruction of the west and the domination of their
murderous cult across the world.
