Please note that Le Pen was in Lebanon, and refused to meet with the customs of that country.  I can give Le Pen a free pass if she was visiting the Mufti in France, but she was a visitor to another country, and tried to impose her customs on them.

Sounds like White Privilege at work to me.  I'm surprised she wasn't furhter  insulted by not being picked up in a carriage borne by slaves.

When I visit another country, I try to abide by their customs to be polite, and apologize if I violate a custom out of sheer lack of knowledge....but to visit a foreign land and expect them to accede to my customs?
