[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]
+1  I've been saying the same thing.  NO govt should tell a civilian person what to wear.[/quote]

Could a "western" woman wear a bikini in Saudi Arabia?  is there a double standard?[/quote]

Saudi Arabia is an islamic republic and makes no claim to respect human beings, their choices or rights. France does make the claim that they respect human beings, human choice and human liberty.  Saudis don't claim any respect for human liberty so its not a double standard, if you follow? If the French say- The Uk is a nominally Christian country- so it is actually ok for  the government in the UK to say- hey you all- we are an Anglican country, everyone has to adhere to anglican norms. I mean if the french want to be secular in the same way that the USSR was secular- with only one state sanctioned religion (Russian Orthodoxy) and no other faith permitted, that is their choice but it should be apparent, clear and legislated, not arbitrarily enforced.

This is pretty simplistic. Do you think Saudi Arabia as a country would say: "No, we do not respect human beings"?[/quote]
