Think about it, my friends, the French have stood up to Islam on three issues:
1) Fashion - the Burqa
2) Being a Rude Asshole - Charlie Hebdo ... while I support Hebdo (being an asshole myself), and while it is framed as a Free Speech issue, we have to admit that at the bottom of it is was simply about being a rude asshole, and the French are better at being assholes - for no reason - than anyone.
3) Wine
From The Local:
A formal lunch between the French president and his Iranian counterpart during next week’s historic meeting has had to be scrapped after the Elysée Palace reportedly refused Iran’s request to serve up halal meat and no wine.
Iranian president Hassan Rouhani will pay a historic visit to France next week after being invited by François Hollande earlier this year.
But the run-up to the visit has been slightly marred by an apparent disagreement over the menu for a lunch that the two heads of state were supposed to share, French news site RTL reports.
Iran’s Rouhani has reportedly had to turn down a dinner invitation with French president François Hollande at the Elysée for religious reasons.
