amid concerns over her 'radical' religious views.

Is a burqa incompatible with French nationality?

France has denied citizenship to a veiled Moroccan woman on the grounds that her 'radical' Islam is incompatible with French values, a legal ruling revealed.

The case will re-ignite debate about how to reconcile religious freedom with other rights, which many in France feel are being challenged by the way of life of some Muslims.

Le Monde newspaper said it is the first time a Muslim applicant had been rejected because of personal religious practice.

Perhaps when the Islamic world also offer the same freedom for practitioners of other faiths to enter their countries and live without fear of persecution, then the scales will be balanced all over the world, and more tolerance will be born.

Perhaps I should have used the phrase all countries where Islam is at least 95% of the practiced religion. That is what I meant by Islamic world - sorry if I confused you or offended you Tamikidakika. In many of these countries, other faith followers seem to be subject to much persecution. Whereas in Europe many muslims are living quite freely and yes there IS religious racial attacks on them sometimes, but these are seen as crimes and where possible - punished. But IMHO they do still have religious freedom, there are Muslim politians in Parliment and in the House of Lords, Muslim police, Muslim religious education teachers in mainstream schools, Halil foods in all supermarkets, many mosques have been built and universities have Muslim centres and active communities etc...

My point was, in countries where Islam is at least 95% of the practice religion, other faith followers are often persecuted much more and in some cases violently and have hardly any of the above points, Christian or Jew Councils, Christian religion teachers, etc.... Perhaps if there wasn't so much violence or suppression towards other faith followers and lack of freedom for these followers in 95% Muslim countries, then non-Muslim countries would feel more comfortable with accepting more.

I think many Europeans would feel they have done much to be accepting so far, but now still see no counter-freedom on the other end, therefore, people seem to be becoming more unaccepting.

I am most certainly not claiming the be right here at all. Only trying to explain my point that's all.

I think that not only is there a problem with Islamic countries, but also with the Muslim communities in the West. These people move to western countries and join radical groups that preach hatred of the West, stage terrorist attacks, don't accept mixing with westerners, look down on them... Not all Muslims, but many! Enough for it to be a political and social problem.
