To claim freedom of religion means that you need to allow its expression. Anyone can do virtual anything behind closed doors, so allowing the expression only behind closed doors doesn't demonstrate any true acceptance of other religions.
Do you really know how easy it is to shred this argument? Or have you not quite realized that you are writing in a forum the majority of whose members have been in a long-established position of inferiority that was accepted for a long time?
Weird situation: I appreciate that she made the decision to be in the inferior position. However, I find it ironic that a French person doesn't appreciate that sometimes you make stupid decisions for love;; obvious passionate French is a mere stereotype.
Why? Is your position that superior that you need to make a decision on whether or not to enlighten them? Why not simply accept them for who they are, and hope that they will accept you?
Or I could, heaven forbid, be allowing that she made a decision based while under Love's first blush, as people have since the beginning of time. Yes, I agree that she made a bad decision, but I think that a legitimate case could be made that she was coerced into that decision. I'm just not seeing how that's a chauvinistic response, as opposed to one that seeks to look at all possible sides.
No, I'm not; I am from a country after all that has restrictions on how many people can immigrate from any given country. However, whereas I could understand a straight-forward bureaucratic reason, the reason given is not one I would expect from an enlightened society. I'm seeing spousal abuse and giving a reason to not pursue it. Worse, I'm seeing the husband getting off free and the woman being punished for it. At least France is living up to its chauvinistic reputation...
Just as slavery was, or homosexuality as perversion, or that women were second-class citizens...I don't find being "accepted by the majority" to be as comforting as you do. My issue is that the woman was never given a chance to integrate, and was in fact discouraged from doing so by her husband, a husband who should have known that restricting his wife as he did would have limited her bid for citizenship. It doesn't really take a genius to see that he now has absolute power over her in the country she now finds herself in....but that's acceptable to the majority, so I guess it's okay...
Gotta love the French system: You can bring someone in, treat them like dirt, and they have to accept it. Better yet, because I haven't allowed them a chance to integrate, they have to do what I say because they simply can't apply for any of the benefits that a citizen o the country they are in. And if someone disagrees, that peron just isn't as enlightened as you are...
