Debra Weiner,

You are missing the point, the burkini is a religious symbol, used to do Muslim proselytism.
You can use a diving suit to protect from UV sun light, in any secular country, because that is not a religious symbol,

Muslims ask for freedom to violate secular state laws, because they want to make proselytism of Islam.
On the other hand they ask foreigners to adhere to their religious norms. Why should Muslims be allow to break the norms of secular states? I think that they should respect the laws of secular states. Those norms are to stop any religious proselytism not just Muslim.

The only way to warrant the freedom of beliefs, is a secular state which does not bias to any religion.
