i think that's a different issue.  if Sarkozy had said

I want to say solemnly that people who coerce others [even their own family members] to wear certain types of clothing will not be welcome on our territory.

i would basically be in agreement with him (with some questions as to exception or boundary cases, such as:  Presumably, parents have the right to "coerce" their children into dressing or not dressing in a certain way.  At what age of the child do parents lose that right?  Adulthood/majority?  Adolescence?)

Truth unfolds in time through a communal process.
