Hatchets and harpoons were thrown in a beach brawl that broke out after a tourist was seen taking pictures of women wearing burkinis in Corsica.
The fracas between a group described as North African Muslim families and local youths broke out a day after a ban on the head-to-toe swimsuits was upheld by a judge in Cannes.
A tourist was seen taking pictures of women wearing the full-body swimwear on a creek near the village of Sisco on the French island.
When the bathers objected, a group of local teenagers are said to have come to the photographers defence.
Local reports said that the group of North African men armed themselves and took on the young Corsicans. One man was hit by a spear-like weapon and a pregnant women was taken to hospital with injuries.

The unrest in Corsica, which lasted several hours, escalated when the teenagers parents rushed from their village to the beach where two of them were then injured with harpoons. In retaliation, villagers then set fire to cars belonging to the bathers, it is claimed.

Great pix in #15
suppose hildabeast is modeling one of this season’s “hot” new swim wear?
is this the war on women hildabeast is talking about?
Kongsberg gun? Dirty Harry used something similar once.
Corsicans need to announce, “Muslims, don’t let the sun set on your head. If you do, you will be found dead at sunrise.”
There was a Sherlock Holmes story where the murder was committed with a harpoon. The mystery turned upon technique with a harpoon!!
Napoleon Bonaparte was Corsican. Not a good people to rile up. He knew how to handle rioters, with grapeshot fired from artillery guns.
Napoleon was from Corsica.
You beat me by seconds!
I am surprised that the Corsican Brothers haven’t shown up to this party!
Can you please translate?
When I posted about an incident in Corsica last Christmas that involved an Islamic center being burnt down, it was taken down from this forum by the moderator several times and I was given a ‘time out’ for my attempts at posting it.
You are most fortunate to have been able to post this in the forum and still have it up after all this time.
When I look at the babes in bikinis and those in burkinis I consider it a public service, that is the wearing of the burkinis by those that should not be in bikinis.
Just blame the carton....
And the word “Muslim” never was written ....
THEY who shall not not be named!!!
I don’t know what it says either. I just thought the picture fit the burka swimsuit thread. I assume that’s a burka?
Something must be afoot, I can see her ankle.
I guess that's some kind of burkini too. (They seem to have different styles of them, if you look up "burkinis" in "Google images".)
They all look like they would really make swimming difficult.
what type of fanatic wears something like that in water? You would have to be beaten constantly or brainwashed.
