Two Muslim women were ordered out of a swimming pool in France because they were wearing 'burkinis'.
They jumped into the water wearing garments that covered their entire bodies, including veils over their heads.
The incident came ten days after French MPs voted to outlaw the burka in public places.
The new law, which brands the garment 'an insult to the country's values', means women will be fined or jailed for hiding their faces in public.
The women at the Rives des Corbieres holiday camp in Port Leucate, southern France, were told the rules stated only swimming costumes may be worn in the water.

“they were wearing ‘burkinis’.”
Pictures won’t be necessary.
Were they frog-marched?
Shoosh, mouslime women are a hoot at a beach party. Were they doing cannon balls from the diving board?
I don’t know, I’d have to see with and without photos to make a decision.
In many cases (think Helen Thomas) this could have been and act of kindness.
Were they frog-marched?
Given the context they couldn’t NOT be frog-marched
The French have more guts than Americans who cower and pander to Islam while cowering in front of TV watching ball games and inanities.
Is that a burqini that Kerry was wearing when he was crawling out of the space shuttle in that photo??
It says in the article that they can’t wear the burkini because of hygiene reasons. What exactly are they doing in those burkinis?
For men in France that means Speedos - none of your basketball pants three quarters of the way down to your knees.( Yes I was thrown out ). On the other hand ladies are allowed to sunbathe with just the bottom half of a bikini.
In France they have full exposure laws as opposed to Freedom of Information.
Yep. See post 10
That is the way they swim at the sea shore over in the ME looks like some black bags floating around out there. Some of them are better covered maybe a double cover in case one rips.
“The French have more guts than Americans who cower and pander to Islam while cowering in front of TV watching ball games and inanities.”
They kick out the burka wearing pool babes while we let the muslims celebrate 9-11 with their own ground zero mosque, which, according to Mike Gallagher, opens on 9-11-2011.
“Were they frog-marched”?
...goat marched possibly.
Can you imagine how much water they must hold?
Vienna swimmers drink 5,000 litres pool water a day ("STOP IT!") (Austrian Independent ^ | 12. 07. 10. - 11:00 | no byline )
Some media claimed last summer Vienna officials considered banning guests at public swimming pools from wearing baggy Bermudas as they take around 2.5 litres of water with them every time they get out of the pool after a swim.
Burkini 2010 (unacceptably modest):
Good ol' France, leading the way in societal evolution (along with Rush)!
The French do not elect Muslims to run their country and French Jews do not vote 78% for a muslim to run their country like the USA. I know a French Jew and he does not like you know who.
Americvans are idiots watching ball games on TV and are little slaves to TV.
A burkini sounds like a great way to drown/waterboard yourself.
