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

146. Have you considered getting an editor for your posts?

They're full of irrelevant dross. You could also do with a fact-checker:

"The picture of the nuns in gray (who are showing way more leg than you'd see in a burkini) was said to be taken by the Imam of Florence" - no. The article said he "has been posting photos of beach-going nuns in habits"; it neither said the photo used was one of them (it's marked 'Getty', a photo library), nor that the Imam took any of the photos he posted.

"I guess the Imam was stretching the facts to suit his narrative?" - it seems you've ended up stretching facts yourself. You haven't shown that he stretched any.

"NONE of these photos are contemporaneous with this YEAR, never mind this month or any month since the many attacks in France that motivated the temporary ban." So what? They are modern. They illustrate that nuns go to the beach in their habits, which you thought didn't happen. Up till now, you've been protesting about how women wearing headscarves or hijabs is a patriarchal subjugation of women that needs to be fought has disappeared, and now you're saying "everything has changed because of attacks by a few Muslims". Are you saying that makes it OK to punish a load of Muslims we know had nothing to do with the attacks? Or that nuns will have changed their behaviour because of the attacks?

"it's plainly not a daily occurrence." That's a non sequitur. What is 'plain' about it? You've shown no evidence for that. Type "nun beach france" into Google Images, and you get the Getty photo illustrating the new story (which mentions France, and is currently popular, so will turn up high in Google results), and then the 2 I gave. There are a lot more after that, but it wasn't worth linking to them all.

Why does it matter to you whether the nuns are walking or sunbathing? It doesn't matter to the beach rules. You said "I don't know if many -- if any -- convents wear those costumes any more"; and people have been showing you that they do. And they go to beaches too, whether or not the Pope's in town.
