The burkini dress had been present in talks everywhere recently. But still they haven't found any solid position about this, they just talk, talk and make a huge fuzz which is followed by no action after this - just as always...
You see - well, maybe this position is also wrong or results from wrong understanding -, I'd think the issue wouldn't be as hot if it was not about wearing a headscarf all the time - if this culture also offered something how to not expose yourself too much while going swimmig and if it was totally okay to also hold this position. The burkini dress comes from a different culture than this and it had a special function in there. It was made for making some more freedom possible for women without anyone being able to accuse them of betraying family honor, bringing shame upon them or any kind of stuff like this. This culture - European and Western culture - already has decades and centuries of emancipation struggles behind it, so it starts from a certain point already equipped with some freedoms, unlike these areas which literally still start from nearly point zero. So - this is something that belongs down there, but not in here and so the general common culture regards it as an alien intruder.
I'd think circumstances surrounding this were different if this culture, after its decades-long trip of exposure and even more physical exposure also offered people the possibility not needing to join this choir even from their own fellow humans. Say, if this culture also knew or accepted it to some part that there are also people in here that don't like this exposure trip and therefor live in a certain kind of way - regardless of religion. Say, as an example, you see that on how much this is a taboo if someone liked to go swimming with keeping a shirt on just because he has some kind of reason for it - like body shape sizes that you always receive some pejorative comments on or when you have large scars on your body and you don't like to show them publicly to everyone. It may not be that somebody prohibits you doing that, but you get some strange looks just because it is an assumption in Western culture these days you're prude or fucked up in the brain if you don't like to follow the usual dress code on a beach. Okay, running around in summer in thick clothes in a place where you don't while it's 30°C among the shares, it's something that goes into the direction of being mentally ill some way because nobody does that as it's totally hot and you're close to melting or fainting. But, spoken in general, it doesn't need you to wear very think clothes only to cover your skin a little more if you want to. And that's somehow why it comes into question, why it shouldn't be accepted too?
See, just forgetting about that, it makes you think like they want to press everything into this shape "it's all based on religion" and from then on out they want to plant society changes. It's wrong that you do some things that do not seem that logical to all people are done out of religious faith. This is totally disinformation. And just by getting that impression, it makes you wonder what they want to turn this into. It seems like they want a theocracy in general, no matter which God someone directs his prayers to, main thing that counts is that someone holds a religion at all and through that, they can begin to treat people unequally again. Just because, obsessed with that, people demand for receiving "special rights" again and in the end each group has special rights, which makes all people which don't have these again be willing for a brawl with these people with special rights.
So to say... It's a subtile way of making witch hunt common again and get people from the very lower classes to fight each other over some weird trivial shit again. Reversing the progresses that once had been made in that department (and even preventing further equality development in the future).
