I think my comment would be best served at another time... these guys are a little extreme...

I was having a conversation about French politics and how they declare themselves a secular society and they've banned religious headwear and what not.

I said that was a good thing and something we should do, especially with this Shariah law nonsense coming up, and my friend looked at me like I was Hitler.

I simply believe this country was built on certain things and we should hold fast to them. Does this mean we can't welcome people of all races?? no way. But they should recognize what we are and not try to mold away...

So to substantiate my claim, I believe in a French domestic policy, and if it happens to be American too, oh well.
