Is it about war on terror, or is it about war against non-conformity?

Are we finally getting a glimpse of things as they really are?

That was after the fall of the Ottoman empire where Arab Nationalism took hold and Islamic practice was subdued...

Those days are gone and we are in the midst of an Islamic revival..

Just ask yourself if it were skin cancer survivors who were the main proponents of this swimsuit, would there be any ban? It's pure Islamophobia.

If you go to Rome do as the Romans do. You are their guest and should conform with their way of life, including dressing. If they swim in bikinis then you should also turn up at the pool or beach in a bikini, not some "queer" swimming attire.

@tycho, this is where you're wrong. I hope you know that their fathers didn't tell them to do that, their brothers didn't tell them to do that, their sons didn't tell them to do that. This is NOT something that ONLY Muslim women were told; but Jewish women also, and Christian women also and Muslim women also were doing this.

Unfortunately, now modern civilization (man-made) has asked women not to wear that, they could wear bikinis, does not mean that our culture (and God's wisdom, for those who are religious) is wrong and the modernist are right, no!

Christians conform to expected dressing attire in Saudi Arabia and other Sharia countries and the same is expected of nmoslems when they immigrate to western countries or else they should stay in their sharia compliant countries.

@Fullykenyan, whether in Christian country or Sharia one, I won't say the police will be doing right thing.

And what you are assuming is that the woman is an immigrant. She could be a native French... So assumptions are dangerous.

Fastest growing doesn´t say a thing about absolute numbers. I still believe Christianity will remain a majority in the next 100 years

The french have had a tough year with Islamic related terror, lets give them a little leeway to regain some semblance of control, may seem a tad overbearing but again who wouldn't react the way they are reacting.

In fact Islamic nations act in this exact way in their areas of control. The same way the french are trying to enforce french acceptable attire is the same way Islamic countries force shariah compliant attire in their countries. I don't hear anyone complaining about it though.
