Take it off! Muslim woman is forced to disrobe on Nice's Promenade des Anglais beach as police
Daily Mail (U.K.) ^ | 8/23/2016 | By Peter Allen and Ted Thornhill for MailOnline

The French ban on the burkini is threatening to turn into a farce as police officers armed with pepper spray and batons marched onto a beach today and ordered a woman to strip off.

Four burly cops stood over the middle-aged woman, who had been quietly sunbathing on the Promenade des Anglais beach in Nice - yards from the scene of the Bastille Day lorry attack - and watched her take off a Muslim-style garment which protected her modesty.

It is thought the woman was given a warning about the dress code on the beach and was handed an on-the-spot fine.

Another young Muslim mother was ordered off the beach at Cannes and fined for simply wearing a headscarf.

Three armed officers pointed a pepper spray canister in the 34-year-old's face and told her she was in breach of a new rule outlawing swimming costumes that cover the entire body.

She said the 'racist' officers simply wanted to humiliate her in front of her children and other family members, even though she was not even wearing a burkini.

Sunbathing in a burkini can only lead to burned or tanned hands, feet, and face. Doing anything to improve the appearance of any of these is against the same rules that the burkini is meant to satisfy. Curious.

"She said the 'racist' officers simply wanted to humiliate her in front of her children and other family members"

Maybe they should have stoned her, like they do in her lovely homeland.

If enough people in your group act like ferel animals, pretty soon you’ll be treated like a ferel animal.’

Not all that hard to figure out.

I’d really like to feel sorry for these women. Under normal circumstances I could.

These are not normal times these days.

Their fellow travelers are their biggest problem.

Get your own under control. Pretty soon you’ll be treated decently again.

How do you “sun bathe” when you are tarped from head to toe?

This whole ban might seem like overreach but if the Islamists are allowed to impose their own practices on French beaches it will only be a matter of time until non-Islamist women are no longer comfortable sunbathing in regular swimsuits.

I'm not real cool with people being forced to disrobe on a public beach unless they are dressed in a tent like structure which conceals their identity. If that's the necessary law to prevent terrorist cockroaches from slinking around, then so be it. But if it is just a matter of someone being a little overdressed, let's say an 1890s style swimsuit, then it is excessive.

I'd hate to think I'd be subject to arrest if I accidentally wandered into a nude beach, for instance. Of course, I'm at the age where they would probably pay me to put my clothes back on.

Being out in the sun covered head to toe with a black garment is the surest way to get heat stroke. This is a safety policy meant for their own good. The safety angle always works. Wink wink.

I hate Muslims as much as much as most westerners; however, some women wear a headscarf for medical reasons. My wife has cancer, and has undergone radiation and chemo treatments. After one strong series of treatments, she lost all her hair and wore headscarfs and hats everywhere. So I know not to diss anyone for wearing a scarf. But she was told to stay out of the sun if possible, and certainly wouldn't be sunbathing on the beach with a headscarf. Otherwise, in public be understanding of why some women wear headscarfs.
