Bizarre argument ORM.
Allowing someone to wear clothing isnt being "Multicultural liberal". If she wore a black tracksuit what would be the difference. What you are saying is people arent allowed to wear clothing a muslim might wear. Absurd.
Nothing to do with people being liberal, its basic common sense, and common sense says her outfit didnt pose a threat. If it was covering her face then that would have some merit, but she wasnt.
Lets hope none of the 9/11 bombers were wearing jeans or we will have to ban jeans as we dont want to argue human rights with the dead and relatives of terrorist attacks do we.
Great job winning hearts and minds.

The French have made a stand since 2009 that they believe the the burka and it's associated garments to be a "debasement" to women. It's not about it being a threat, just that they don't want it in France. I live in the Middle East and spend time every week in Saudi. Clothing has to be appropriate here and the law of the land respected - the locals aren't up in arms about France here as they see it as that country's right to assert it's own law and culture....
LOL at the idea (not yours) that the way to defeat 'religious misogyny' is by having a man with a machine gun demand women to take their clothes off.
They were asking her to leave the beach not demanding she stripped.
I love how some people will openly take a subject and run so far with it that you can no longer see the start point anymore.I'll be honest I respect the rights of the French to decide what it right or wrong for their country over the religious beliefs of ANY religion. Does that tar too many people with the same brush? Yep. Is it anti human rights? Nope. Try arguing human rights to the dead and relatives of terrorist attacks. Those comments will surely inflame a few liberals in these rooms. Liberalism invented multiculturalism. If multiculturalism means parts of the U.K. are no go areas then in my eyes liberalism doesn't work.

Try going to a French swimming pool in shorts and you will receive similar treatment.
