I just cannot see forcing a woman to reveal a part of her body she is not comfortable revealing as

45. The trump-like factions of muslims migrating to Europe have stated over and over again

in no uncertain terms that they wish to dominate all of the EU with their culture. They want to eliminate all other religions and replace them with Islam, and to impose their ways and practices on every state in the EU.

THIS is what France is afraid of, and what every other nation in the EU should be afraid of. It's very real, it's very possible and it's a real danger. This isn't paranoia, it's reality. There are entire neighborhoods in the UK that are completely given over to Islamic culture, and it's benefiting no one, especially not the state as a whole. They are not prosperous neighborhoods, they are steeped in crime, bigotry, hatred and poverty. I stated in an earlier post about the perils of being in Germany and in the same manner, Belgium, where deep set Islamic communities have been allowed to thrive for decades, and they are the source of the wave of violence and terrorist attacks in the past year.

Allow one footstep and you allow a stampede.

France is correct in its refusal to tolerate public displays of cultural and religious extremism. Anyone wishing to immigrate to western nations must be required to assimilate or go where they are welcome.

I'm to the point now where I am extremely uncomfortable seeing any woman covered up. I see it as symbolic of the terrorism they've brought with them. I just associate one with the other. It's scary.

On the other hand, my concern is that the world wide coverage of France banning the burquini on their public beaches will cause some of the radical psychos to further act out in violence against tourists and citizens. It could trigger some unfortunate reactions.... or it could serve to draw out those who need most to be taken into custody. Maybe not the worst thing to do? Get them agitated in the short term so they don't have a lot of time to plan anything serious, but act on the spur of the moment without a lot of preparation. Pure speculation, sorry.

Islam at its core is a religion of peace as much as any other, but it's the ones who seize on it to enact their imaginary revenge fantasies that need worrying about. The trumps and the hitlers aren't imaginary and the trickle becomes a tsunami.
