'misguided ban'

It would be a good thing that americans inform themselves on french secularism before taking shots at it. Please keep in mind that this ban was supported by pretty much the entire french political spectrum, including plenty of french feminists and french muslim feminists.

French secularism is a key principle of the French 3rd Republic and is as crucial to France as religion is ingrained in american culture and politics. People need to stop mistaking their political culture for an ultimate reference the world should follow.
