As for the values test, if we cannot use it to screen those already here, we certainly have the right to screen out those who are not. Being French/American/Dutch/Russian etc. is a privilege, something that that nation grants to you. Not a right. You're not owed citizenship or residency.
In both cases there was a granting of citizenship, in one case it just happened to occur automatically. As I said before, those who happen to be granted citizenship by birth can hold whatever reprehensible viewpoint they wish but only those who are seeking to become naturalized citizens are expected to meet the standards?
No they cannot, and I've said this numerous times. You can trace your lineage back to the Ancien Régime aristocracy and beyond, if you do not believe in the fundamental values of the French Republic, you should be encouraged to leave. However, and here is the distinction, by chance of birth, you are a holder of a French passport. You cannot be made stateless, nor deported.
If you are not French and do not believe there should be a separation between your religious dogma and the public sphere of citizenship, then you can, and should, be denied entry into the French nation. You are not French, and have no right to be one. There are certainly French Islamists who share your belief, but, by chance of birth, they are French, and cannot be made stateless nor deported. You, a non-French Islamist, can be denied citizenship and deported. That's "unfair", but that's life.
