"French president's interpretation of burqa as a symbol of subservience is false. It is a usual habit of western ideologists to twist history and distort the facts inorder to project their culture as superior one." The tendency for people to be ethnocentric and believe their culture is superior is aspervasive as anything one could discuss. To be in the minority and feel insulted when the majority mocks and belittles your social mores and cultural practices is the expected (and correct) response. Stop your bellyaching! Today's problems are a result of Muslim belief in their superiority and their obsession with being inferior in every measureable way and their inability to do anything about it.
