France refuses citizenship to veiled Muslim woman

PARIS: France has denied citizenship to a veiled Moroccan woman on the grounds that her “radical” practice of Islam is incompatible with basic French values such as equality of the sexes, a legal ruling showed on Friday. Le Monde newspaper said it was the first time a Muslim applicant had been rejected for reasons to do with personal religious practice. “She has adopted a radical practice of her religion, incompatible with essential values of the French community, particularly the principle of equality of the sexes,” said a ruling by the Council of State handed down last month and sent to Reuters on Friday to confirm a report in Le Monde. Married to a French national, the woman arrived in France in 2000, speaks good French and has three children born in France. reuters
