Burkina ban

In France in many towns they are banning the burkini which is like a full body covering swim suit which also cover the head.
Muslim women like because they are supposed to dress modestly in public so this swim suit allows them to be modest.

The town mayors are banning the burkini saying it might cause offence and the police are patrolling the beaches enforcing the ban.

Should women have a choice of what clothing they wear to the beach or should authorities be allowed to decide what they can or cannot wear?

The laughable thing is.. Many believe the women are being controlled and made to wear them yet what is the government doing? Everyone should have a right to wear what they like.

I don't have a problem with women wearing burkini in Muslim countries. But I don't want it and would not allow it in non-Muslim ones, like the scarf. Because it is not just a piece of cloth. It is a suymbol. It is a way of saying 'we won't take your culture and rules, we will impose ours'. The only right answer to that is 'No, you won't'.

@HEREISME: In my opinion the difference is that those are merely religious symbols, but the burkini has political and social implications too. If a woman wears burkini instead of bathing suit or bikini like French women do, the message she is shouting is 'I don't want to integrate, I want you to take my customs'. And accepting burkini, authorities are saying yes to that

Not so.

When I go to the beach, I wear whatever I choose. Which is never a bathing suit. Usually shorts and t-shirt. Unless these women are on a private beach, with a dress code, I think it should be their right to dress however they wish. How could anyone be offended by someone who covers up? There are people who must cover up due to being hypersensitive to the sun.

They should have a choice
