What is your stance on burkinis or headscarves on French (or American) beaches (or streets)?

51. Quota is totally wrong

They don't all wear the full burka, granted, but as Wahhabism has spread, so is has the burka. I've personally witnessed multiple Thai women in full black burka, from Bangkok to the Malaysian border. The southern Thai border, by the way, is heavily Muslim. I saw this within just the last few weeks.

Furthermore, my Father in Law is a Muslim convert, married to an Indonesian Muslim, and resides in Indonesia. She doesn't wear the burka, but extended members of her family (in the distant Aceh province) definitely wear the full gear.

I think maybe it's like a spreading fad among the fundies, sort of their way of saying, "Look how Muslim we are!" These are not groups of people with much in cultural common, except their religion, so that's the best hypothesis I've got.
