France’s liberal traditions won’t be helped by the burkini ban
Maybe, maybe not. But it is a relief to the eye not needing to see this alienating, foreign dress code that sticks out and tells everybody that the wearer of it has little intention to fit in or to integrate. If you want to live in a foreign place and want to get along with the natives, you better learn to live by their habits and ways and rules. Instead insisting on dress codes whose rules base on a medieval mindset and are explicitly standing out from the crowd, is not helpful, but illustrates what it really is about: to use the power to force the other into falling back, and to enforce one's own ways instead.The whole thing is about enforcing more and more Muslim ways and rules of living in a country that has never been Muslim except during those dark years when it in parts was occupied by military invaders.
If the tolerant tolerate the intolerant, than the intolerant will destroy the tolerant, and with them tolerance. Tolerance needs limits, else it destroys itself.
