[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Heard this while driving to work on NPR. They were interviewing the deputy mayor and the guy was adamant that it is provocative of the Muslim women to wear the Burkini. He was also claiming that the nuns wear the clothes on teir own will and the Muslim women are obliged to wear this.

Pretty sad that ISIS/terrorists seem to be winning; they seem to be changing the way a secular country behaves. They seem to have proven that west is the enemy of Islam.

This is atrocious for Nice police to behave this way - but would be acceptable by many. Shameful! [/quote]
And it plays right into the extremists hands. It says, "See, the west hates you.  Join us in fighting them."[/quote]

Let's see we've spent the last eight years not playing into the extremists hands and where has that gotten us?  Just today a young woman was murdered in a knife attack in Australia and a man injured while the suspect screamed the usual statement I refuse to type that we have all gotten to use to hearing.  Virginia Beach just a week ago, and so on.  It is time for us to stand up against the extremist's repressive ways and not tolerate that in our society.  It is provocative, the authorities are correct and the people of France must be on edge and that is why the politician are trying to respond and create a safe environment.  You worry about this woman's feelings, I pray for the emotional recovery of every victim's family that has experienced terrorism on their own streets in recent memory.  My goodness, have a little sympathy for the other side for once.[/quote]
Having sympathy for one side doesn't mean I can't have sympathy for all sides.  I don't worry about this woman's feelings.  I worry about the fact that any gov't feels they can tell a woman what to wear or not to wear, just as I'd be worried about any gov't telling its people what religion they can follow, and how they can follow it (as long as they are not hurting others).[/quote]Seriously, I know this is way overreaching but it reminds me of Margaret Atwood's novel, The Handmaid's Tale.[/quote]
