The French ban on the burkini is threatening to turn into a farce as police officers armed with pepper spray and batons marched onto a beach today and ordered a woman to strip off.

Four burly cops stood over the middle-aged woman, who had been quietly sunbathing on the Promenade des Anglais beach in Nice - yards from the scene of the Bastille Day lorry attack - and watched her take off a Muslim-style garment which protected her modesty.

It is thought the woman was given a warning about the dress code on the beach and was handed an on-the-spot fine.

This is NOT "a farce".

It is necessary.

muslims must be shown that if they are IN The West, they must behave as we do.

No apologies.

In the 1950's, scarves on the head was a popular fashion with US women.

Good thing they didn't get beat and threatened with pepper-spray

So we beat and threaten women for not being fashionable? Is that what the West is about?

[geronl]

Beat her to within an inch of her life? How anti-Western!!

[geronl]

Not Jackie O too!!

Where are those Sharia Police, I mean anti-scarf snipers??

I hope so....because being unfashionable in that way leads to people blowing up for being fashionable.

Beat him up? pepper-spray him?
