But in France, nobody raised an eyebrow.  Well, a few eyebrows were raised: another Muslim woman, Rachida Dati, former President Sarkozy's Minister of Justice [the equivalent of the American Attorney General], who was born in France but is of Moroccan and Algerian ancestry, critiziced her fellow female Muslim as "incompetent."   Not much feminist sisterhood or Muslim solidarity there!  Or maybe it's just because Dati is a member of the right-of-center UMP party and dislikes socialists, whatever their religion and whatever their sex!
