Stupid, Stupid, Stupid.Of course you could make a case that she's already French because she is so arrogant and dumb as to throw away her citizenship.FWIWsome hilarious comments on this story look what paper it's from.

Muslim woman who refused handshake denied French citizenship
Court of last appeal says refusal to shake hands with official and politician for religious reasons showed she was 'not assimilated' into French life




PARIS, France — France’s highest administrative court has upheld a decision to deny a French passport to an Algerian Muslim who refused to shake hands with officials during her citizenship ceremony, according to a ruling seen by AFP Thursday.

The woman argued that her “religious beliefs” prevented her from shaking hands with a senior official presiding over the citizenship ceremony in the southeastern Isere region in June 2016, as well as with a local politician.

The government said her behavior showed she was “not assimilated into the French community” — one of the reasons it can invoke under the civil code to oppose citizenship for the spouse of a French national.

The woman, who has been married to a Frenchman since 2010, appealed the April 2017 decision, calling it an “abuse of power.”

But the Council of State, the court of last appeal in such matters, ruled the government “had not improperly applied” the law.

Why should France tolerate Islamic intolerance?

Why has the refusal of France to grant a passport to an Algerian woman who declined to shake the hand of a state official at her citizenship ceremony because of her “religious beliefs” made the BBC website? Picked up by other news outlets, including the New York Times, it’s not unreasonable to infer that the subtext is: there go the French again, discriminating against Muslims. If it’s not the burka or the burkini, it’s a handshake.

But why would any western country welcome a woman who shuns one of its oldest and most courteous customs? If she finds shaking hands with a man beyond the pale, one is entitled to suspect she may not look too favourably on gays and Jews. Anti-Semitism is now so profound in France that on Sunday 250 well-known figures, including Nicolas Sarkozy and Manuel Valls, signed a letter warning that the country’s Jews are victims of “ethnic purging” at the hands of “radical Islamists”.

Government posters have started to appear around France reminding all citizens that it is against French law to cover one’s face in public. They say: ‘La République se vit à visage découvert’ [The Republic lives with its face uncovered]. Nonetheless, a small number of women continue to defy the law, such as the one in Toulouse who refused to show her face to police when asked last Sunday. She then insulted the police and was arrested, sparking three days of rioting by local youths.

Of course, there are plenty of Muslims who are fully integrated into French society. But life is not always easy for them. Emmanuel Macron has been talking much in recent weeks of his determination to tackle what he calls the “underground Islamism” that seeks to “corrupt”. The first victims of the extremists are their fellow Muslims, the millions of men and women perfectly well integrated but facing daily intimidation by the Islamists, who assault them ideologically, trying to undermine their faith with accusations of apostasy for daring to dress in a skirt or wear shorts on the football pitch. The latter is becoming a problem in some inner-city Muslim-majority football clubs, where male players are encouraged to wear leggings instead of shorts, whatever the weather, in order to preserve their modesty.

The ‘radicalisation’ of sport in France is a growing concern, with one report last year estimating that the number of young people radicalised in sports clubs was 863. Most are men, for the simple reason that women aren’t welcomed in sports associations infiltrated by Islamists. A recent report on French television revealed what had been happening at a wrestling club in Toulouse; four years ago the club boasted 58 male members and 10 females, but there are now 69 men and one woman. One of the women who left the club, Julie, explained her decision: “The club president told me: ‘When you’re wrestling and your t-shirt pulls up, and we can see your skin and your stomach, that disturbs some people’.” The final straw for Julie was when one of her wrestling partners, a boy, told her he could no longer train with her “because my religion forbids me from touching women”.

Predictably, the disclosure that France has denied citizenship to the Algerian woman has been greeted with much indignation from around the world. But in rejecting her application, the French have demonstrated that they won’t tolerate the intolerance of extremists.

Irregardless of everything else said here: IMHO, That is one extremely sick statement.
Coming in regard to a country like France which has deigned to be a colonial power in the past, and who just like Britain treated the locals where ever they went with total genocidal descension makes it so much more so.

Coming from a brit about france makes it even more even more so.

Regardless of what you've written I generally find that people who use the term 'irregardless' are trying to pretend they're smarter and have a better vocabulary than is the actual case.

Logic and truth offend you, do they? If a person is such a devout Muslim they will not touch a member of the opposite sex then it is a virtual certainty that they also believe in the core tenets of their religion. And Islam is extremely hostile to gays and Jews.

This is nothing but drool on a keyboard.
