I'm sure that many of you have heard about this story:

For the most part, as a muslim, women who still live like that still scare me. Not them specifically, but the fact that such things still occur in this day and age, where her only exposure to the world is an eye slit. My immediate thought after reading this article was "Good for the French authorities". They need to allow only those with French values into their countries. It is their right.

Then I got thinking about it again. While I don't know if the woman in question has volunteered for this type of lifestyle or not, if she is it begs the question, did the French authorities restrict her because if a lifestyle choice? Would a non-muslim white immigrant from a country like Australia, Canada, or US who lived in a completely submissive lifestyle similar to this muslim woman face the same problem obtaining citizenship?

I'm not a supporter of hijabs or other variants of it, but do support people's right to wear one if they so choose to. I just wanted to throw this out there to see if anyone else have thought about something similar.
