[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A government that forbids you from wearing a burkini is as bad as a government that demands that you wear one.[/quote]

Given your opinion, would you mind pointing me to your post protesting the gross injustice to females in those countries where they are forced to cover up?  (I mean, since you're equally upset about that...)[/quote]

NP here, but I think most posters on this forum would agree that no external force (religion or state) should dictate what a woman wears. That's a given.  [/quote]

Sure, that would be best. However, I happen to think it's worse when the state forces all of its female citizens to cover up in an obvious symbol of their subjugation than when the state forces a few of its female citizens NOT to wear the symbol of subjugation. Call me crazy![/quote]

This.  Agree one trillion percent.[/quote]
Still doesn't make it right just because one is less worse than the other.  [/quote]

Agree. But note that multiple PPs were saying that both were equally bad. They're not equally bad. [/quote]
OK, not equal, but bad enough.  I have been to Nice.  I wouldn't want them to tell me that I *had* to go topless on the beach. Sometimes, I see non Muslim women in US beaches covered up. There are various reasons why:  modesty, sensitive to the sun, etc... So, these women won't be able to cover up when they are in France anymore?  If it's just Burqas, then it's a bigoted law.[/quote]
