Taps has been in Europe for too long

I still cannot believe that Jon thinks the French has a right to ban religious headgear in public schools. Actually, he believes more than just that, that the French are JUSTIFIED to do so.

Jon says, if you live in the country, use its language, and enjoy the economic advantages provided by the country, than you should respect the customs of that country. Is being French equivalent to being not Muslim?

Here's the first article to the French consitution:
"France shall be an indivisible, secular, democratic and social Republic. It shall ensure the equality of all citizens before the law, without distinction of origin, race or religion. It shall respect all beliefs. It shall be organised on a decentralised basis."

There does not seem to be another way of interpreting the above statement so that "secular" is emphasized over "equality without distinction of religion."
