"Le Pen is mightier than the sword"

On February 21st of this year, French presidential populist candidate Marine Le Pen visited Lebanon to speak with Sheikh Abdel-Latif Derian the Grand Mufti. However, in order to do so Le Pen was required to wear a headscarf. Le Pen ripostes, "I consider the headscarf a symbol of a woman’s submission." Ben Garrison's political comic speaks out on the actual suppression of women in the religion of Islam; Le Pen's refusal is a symbol of strength and independence. The caption "Le Pen is mightier than the sword" speaks on the violence that radical Islamic terrorism is causing throughout the world today (Sweden, France, Germany, Netherlands), the "pen" is referring to words being more powerful.
