Two Muslim women marched out of swimming pool in French holiday village because...(burkinis)

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.

[Westbrook]

Were they frog-marched?

[equalitybeforethelaw]

Shoosh, mouslime women are a hoot at a beach party. Were they doing cannon balls from the diving board?

[I cannot think of a name]

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.

[Chickensoup]

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??

[tuffydoodle]

It says in the article that they can’t wear the burkini because of hygiene reasons. What exactly are they doing in those burkinis?

[Responsibility2nd]

Burkini?

 

 

So THAT'S what John Kerry was wearing.

 

[Timocrat]

....were told the rules stated only swimming costumes may be worn in the water.

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.

[Responsibility2nd]

Yep. See post 10

[Cheetahcat]

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.

Police were then called to the drama on Wednesday after the husband of one of the women threatened the pool's lifeguard with a bowling ball.

The Religion of Peace "strikes" again.

They state men and women must wear ordinary swimwear for hygiene reasons

Total foreign concept

[albie]

“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.

[Gondring]

Good thing we've advanced in the past 100 years and now show off skin...

Swimwear 1909:

Burkini 2010 (unacceptably modest):

Good ol' France, leading the way in societal evolution (along with Rush)!

[Frantzie]

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.

[Feline_AIDS]

A burkini sounds like a great way to drown/waterboard yourself.

[Gondring]

I bet many FReepers would have a fit if that were instituted in the US.

[Responsibility2nd]

A bowling ball? Who brings a bowling ball to the swimming pool?

(Forget I asked. Don’t wanna know.)

[Monterrosa-24]

'...only swimming costumes..." Nothing and I mean nothing is more American than a French bikini ----- or any other bathing costume that ticks off Mohammedans.

[Gondring]

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.

2.5 L = 0.66 gallons
1 gallon weighs 8.35 pounds
0.66 gal x 8.35 lbs/gal= 5.5 pounds

They're saying that bermuda shorts weight 5.5 pounds more as they come out of the water?

Here I thought it was my beer belly! Guess I'll have to go for Speedos!

[what's up]

They're a danger to other swimmers.

Others nearby can become entangled in the burkini and drown.

[Gondring]

Maybe he meant he'd do a cannonball, but they are the RoP, you know. ;-)

(Forget I asked. Don’t wanna know.)

oops!

[ArrogantBustard]

This is a good start ... but the Frogs should frog-march them all the way to la plage, point them south (toward Algeria), and tell them to swim for it ...

[Flightdeck]

That dude standing, third from the right, is awesome.

[RinaseaofDs]

LOL!

“Package Check!”

Like a baby’s arm holding an apple, no?

[MARTIAL MONK]

Wood swells in the water.

[Gondring]

Dick Cheneyesque.

[Colvin]

The Burkini was kinda cute, not that I will be wearing one soon.

[katana]

The swimming pools we went to in France in the 90's wouldn't let men wear anything but Speedo type briefs. No baggy shorts allowed.

As I left the changing room and headed for the pool wearing my black sausage casing the words that kept thrumming in my head were "The Horror! The Horror!"

[traditional1]

Thong bikini’s with Bhurka’s?

[dusttoyou]

Muslims are very smart to insist their women wear burkis, moohamed the child thigher, at least had good eyesight.

They like surprises when cutting the cards for a poke, under the burki, is it their favorite camel girl or a camel faced wifey?

What a horrible way to die.

Sorry you get to know.

Guidelines for a great muzzie beach day:
ladies swim suit= burkini
plastic beach ball= bowling ball

Remember, big and heavy is better.
