French authorities have banned Muslim women from wearing the burka ... and now the burkini (an equivalent total cover-up while on the beach or swimming) to the outrage of liberals worldwide ... who point out that nuns often swim while covered from head to toe with their habits. In this case this is a distinction WITH a difference. When was the last time that a nun, with a suicide belt under her habit, exploded herself in a crowd of innocent people?
Since the criminal consequence of this form of Muslim garb, albeit somewhat rare, can be so devastatingly lethal, French society has taken it upon itself to prohibited what would normally seem to be permissible. If the Islamic community wants these dress traditions to be respected, it should stop blowing onlookers up using this form of camouflage.
Simple?
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME A FULLY-CLOTHED WOMAN BLEW HERSELF UP AT THE BEACH?

DeleteI think the point Mr Caps was trying to make is that your analogy to uncovered Nuns at the beach was fallacious. Muslim women frolicking in the surf are unlikely to detonate IEDs.
ReplyDeleteThey might not be in the surf ... just on the beach. And, as has been the case, they might not even be women. Think outside the box ... the terrorists do.
