French Muslims Protest Burkini Ban on Beaches

France 'burkini ban': Court to decide on beach fines - BBC News

A human rights group and an anti-Islamophobia association argue the bans are in breach of French law.

Mayors, particularly on the Riviera, say the bans are protecting public order and rules on secularism.

Opinion polls suggest most French people back the bans but Muslims warn they are being targeted unfairly.

Once again, Muslims are residing in another country and trying to dictate legislation.

But even more curious, what is the point of wearing burkas to the beach? Women can tan their faces in the city just as easily.

Ravi thinks muslim women don't want to go to school or be able to drive a car too

Seriously why would anyone want to dress this way outside of a Ninja.

Just disgusting and offensive

 

[StLucieBengal]

These pro burka Muslim women are like the women who keep telling their friends and police that their abusive husbands aren't beating the tar out of them.

So sad. These women need freed. Not put out there dancing for nickels to support their oppressed lives.

If muslim men wanted to wear trash bags all the time, being chaste and modest, then I might accept birkas, burkinis and even burlap sacks as optional beach attire for women. Until that happens, forget about it.

Several Muslim majority countries have banned this crap - as they associate it with fanaticism and oppression. We need to do the same.

 

[StLucieBengal]

We really need to isolate Islamic countries until they are forced to have a reformation.

We can force their hand through travel and economics.

From the OP article:

According to an Ifop survey, 64% of French people are in favour of the bans while another 30% are indifferent.

The bans appeared to have split senior members of the French government.

Prime Minister Manuel Valls waded into the debate on Thursday, backing the mayors who had made public order decisions in the aftermath of the jihadist attack on Nice last month. The burkini represented the "enslavement of women", he added

I'm not usuall in agreement with Valls, but he's right here.

I wonder how much they will cost the health service in vit D deficiency conditions?

They protest it? Tough patooties. Go back from whence they came if they don't like it.

There could be bomb vests under all that ninja stuff.

I wonder who would win a Muslim beauty contest. The best seamstress, maybe?

 

[montelatici]

France is doing the right thing. All manifestation of Muslim culture should be discouraged. In its present form the culture is incompatible with Western culture and values.

It's already been tried.

We understand this burkini ban is wrong… but lets address the bigger issue connected to this:

Why are muslims men/women in places where nudity is common?
