funny that you discount Rachida Dati as a Muslim minister of justice "because she does not look or act as a Muslim".  she is a Muslim, one of 12 kids of a Muslim impoverished family of the banlieus.  there have been other Muslim cabinet members in France, including Rama Yade as Secretary of State for Human Rights Fadéla Amara as Secretary of State for Urban Policies, both nominated in 2007.  how many Muslims cabinet members have ever been nominated in the US? zero.

All you can say with confidence about Dati is that she was born into a Muslim family. She doesn't cover. She has a child out of wedlock. She had to sue for paternity.  We can split hairs about who is and is not a Muslim, but most practicing Muslims do not look or behave that way.  When France elects a covered woman who prays regularly a minister, then you can talk.  Until then, all you have is someone with a conveniently non-French name and non-French hair color. [/quote]

no, we can talk when the US has as the attorney general a Muslim woman who does not cover her hair. France already had one[/quote]
Our Secretary of State had a closest aide (Huma Abedin) who's as Muslim as Dati.   You are confusing women born into Muslim families with practicing Muslim women. [/quote]

ok, so we can talk when Huma Abedin becomes attorney general, like Dati, or Secretary of State[/quote]
