Narbonne (France) (AFP) – Three resorts in France were poised Tuesday to join three other seaside towns in banning the burkini, the full-body Islamic swimming garment that has sparked concern about religious extremism.
Prime Minister Manuel Valls also weighed in on the debate, lashing the wearing of the burkini as “not compatible with the values of France and the Republic” and saying he supported mayors who ban it if they acted in the public good.
In the southwest, the mayor of the resort town of Leucate, Michel Py, was to sign a municipal decree later Tuesday that would ban the burkini on public beaches, the town hall said.
The decree, which runs until August 31, will bar access to public beaches to “any person who is not properly dressed, respectful of moral behaviour and secularism, hygiene and bathing safety.” MORE
Muslims don’t tan…they burn.
I’d bring a mine detector to the beach now, just to be safe. They are not going to take this ban well.
Id like to see a BFI front loader rolling down the beach picking them up.
The burkini is just a symptom. The disease is islam and it needs to be banned.
what are the French going to do if the muslims break the ban? surrender to them?
give me a break.
the ban reminds me of obamas pervert bathroom laws.
who’s going to enforce it?
What’s the point of going to the beach swathed in trash bags?
Really … what’s the fuckin point?
Just to annoy the humans?
