ban on burkinis
Reader comment on item: Ban the Burqa, Allow the Burkini
in response to reader comment: Burquinis AND Burquas should be banned
Submitted by Kika (United States), Aug 29, 2016 at 14:20
I agree with the OP 100%. I think this is another attempt of getting their message across that we are here and will not be stopped. It's just like here in USA, with the homosexual agenda. They were able to destroy propositiIon 8, and ultimately force the updated marriage act. If people would just realize how influential and far reaching this religion of Islam is, maybe we would take steps to avoid losing our cultural identity. Just my 2 cents.
