Marine Le Pen, one of France's leading presidential candidates, refused to wear a headscarf Monday to meet with a top Islamic leader in Lebanon and canceled the meeting instead.
Officials at Lebanon's leading Sunni authority, Dar al-Fatwa, said Le Pen was told beforehand that she needed to wear a headscarf to her meeting with Grand Mufti Sheikh Abdel-Latif Derian, according to Bloomberg.
The officials charged France's far-right National Front party candidate refused to wear the headscarf and declined to meet after she arrived at Dar al-Fatwa's Beirut headquarters and was reminded of the requirement.

Good for her. I might be nice enough to wear a fancy Easter style hat but that's as far as I would go.
Good for her. It's high time that someone put their foot down with Muslims and told them they aren't going to take over and change someone's beliefs or society. She's shaping up to be a great potential leader for France. The French would be very wise to have this woman heading their team.
I can't really say here what I would like to say to this Islamic leader because the moderator would never allow it to publish.
Muslims demand that non-muslims submit to their ways while they totally refuse to respect or even acknowledge other religions to exist.
When they show up in France tell them to take off their headwear! I hate how everybody has to play by their rules and they stomp on everybody else's.
What she did was exactly right.
If you submit to it, you reinforce it.

ex gitmo prisoner is mosul suicde bomber THANKS OBAMA.
She's awesome. Unfortunately her chances of election are pretty slim. We're talking about France after all. The birthplace of liberalism.
I congratulate her. They demand other Countries to follow their customs but they come to the US and continually attempt to destroy our customs and do not abide by them. Bunch of Bully hypocrites.
These are the people who Obama bowed to when greeting them. Our presidents don't bow, unless they're asking their wives to dance at a formal event.
figures, only one with any balls in france is a woman!
8:26. Absolutely, she has a pair of brass balls. I bet the liberals here are really confused now.
