Cannes burkini ban triggers outrage

95. I don't care. I simply find the subject intensely fascinating.

It's a conundrum without a clear exit. The kind of thread that always draws me in.

All I'm saying is that we don't seem to care what Muslims do in their own country but it seems like we shouldn't care when they come to one of "our" countries, either.

The Middle Eastern "habit" (coercion for most, I think) of women covering themselves from head to toe has little to do with 'modesty'. It's ingrained behavior that we should at the very least discourage since it has the effect of a Western society welcoming those who are not welcoming of others.

It flies in the face of the Western ideal of openness and I think this is part of what makes others comfortable.
