Don't go to class wearing your yarmulke or turban in France. It's actually against the law.
When Muslim men create their own "Islamic swimwear" we can see how they're treated on the beach. To this point, though, even the most devout Muslim male can enjoy their speedos and their short sleeved shirts, and feel the breeze in their hair--it's only the women who have to be constrained in a hot, sweaty garment, to "preserve their modesty."
smh.
And why are you trying to scamper away into an argument about abortion? This conversation is not about that (FWIW, Islam doesn't prohibit the practice at least in the first trimester, so let's stick to the topic, shall we?).
No one is being "locked up" for this. They're issuing tickets, worst case, and warnings, which are free of charge, and the husbands/fathers, who control the household income and make spending decisions, and who tell the women what they are allowed to wear, will have to pay the tickets. If the women can't take the children to the beach because the men can't get with the program, why, the men will have to take that chore on. Good enough for them.
