The Mufti asked her to abide by his culture if she wanted to meet. She refused, as is her right.
She had been informed that this would be the case prior to attending the meeting. Yet she still went to the venue.
She quite clearly did it as a publicity stunt, which again is her right, but also makes her guilty of hypocrisy given that her campaign is based on the premise that immigrants should not be allowed go to another country and try to impose their ācultureā.
Your hypocrisy charge is based on the premise that the cultures are somehow equivalent, and both deserving of equal respect. They are not and they donāt.
A culture that treats women as slaves, and imposes barbaric punishment on those who resist, is not worthy of any respect. In particular as the culture is based on the insane ravings of a 7th century pedophile. If western Christian majority cultures were imposing rules based on the Old Testament, then you would have equivalency, but they donāt. How do you expect human rights to improve in these cultures unless their barbaric practices are opposed.
Le Penās culture is based on stirring up hatred of those of other ethnicities. It is based on bigotry.
It is an utterly backward culture. Dead right that her culture is not equivalent to others. It is infinitely inferior to, for instance, mine, and also to that of the vast majority of Muslims.

Well you do live in Galway, so I would expect some influence from the cultural capital of Europe.
You do realize that the vast majority of Muslims live in countries where the treatment of women ranges from second class citizens to slaves. 19 of the 20 worst countries in the world for women to live, in terms of rights, are Muslim majority, and the 20th is Ethiopia which is 30% Muslimā¦ and we are not talking equal pay type issues, but rather rights that are a bit more significant like genital mutilation, legal marriage of girls aged 9, forced virginity tests, honor killings, and the like.
But Iām sure youāre right, if Le Pen were to be elected president, France would become a hell hole for women.
