Outrage persists over French efforts to police women’s clothing on the beach, including among Arabs. But while many are accusing France of racism and discrimination against Muslims, Arabs themselves are questioning whether the burkina — the full-body covering women use to maintain modesty in the water — would even be allowed on their shores.

“It isn’t just hypocrisy but schizophrenia,” wrote one. Another pointed out that “if someone wore a burkini on the beaches of the Kingdom she could be imprisoned.” One user tweeted in Arabic: “The problem with the Arabs is that they flee from their countries because of the hardline Islamic regime and come to the infidel West, then ask for the same Islamic regime.”

Would the allow a bikini in their country?
Would they allow a bible in their country?
Would they allow a church in their country?
Would they allow a woman to drive in their country?
Would they allow an unescorted woman to walk down the street without raping her?
Would they not charge a woman who was raped with adultery?
Would they allow a non-muslim to visit mecca?

How about we address some of those things with the Saudis.
