Where is the line drawn between protocol and personal belief?


In a visit for Frances far-right presidential candidate Marine Le Pen, the latter refused to put on a headscarf for a meeting with Lebanons top Sunni Muslim cleric. The meeting was cancelled, and the issue has caught a lot of attention in Lebanon and the world.

Good Morning Australia program discussed this topic with its listeners who had different opinions on the topic.

On a poll on SBS Arabic 24 twitter page, 54% said they believe a politician should respect the protocol despite being in contradiction with their personal belief, 46% said no to that.
