        I oppose the burkini on principle that women should not be forced to be covered and therefore hidden this garment is symbol oppres

        Has anyone else noticed, although MUSLIMS account for LESS than 1 percent of US population, their concerns seem to DOMINATE MSM news lately?

        Looks like what women wore about 100 years ago. They wear what they want. No big deal.

        40 or 50 years ago the burka was rare in Islamic societies. Now it is the norm. Don't you get it? The burkini is thin end of wedge
