What is your stance on burkinis or headscarves on French (or American) beaches (or streets)?

137. We need to stop assuming that all/most are forced

That's just Western ignorance and over generalizations.

From my experience, Most Muslim women truly want more coverering than Western women are comfortable with. They aren't threatened by their families, but rather they just dumbfounded as to why Western women would give any man other than her current or future husband a view of her cleavage, thighs, or mid drift. How do you respond to them? Fine them anyway?

I lived in Malaysia for two years. I knew several Muslim women who flat out told me or my wife that they have absolutely no desire for any man other than their current or future husband to see them uncovered. Hands, faces, and feet were all they were willing to show. They would tell me this with no men or other family members around...and I'm Catholic.

My Catholic Malaysian wife had Catholic cousins who wore long t-shirts and spandex to the beach for that same reason. They didn't wear hijabs, but they were certainly covered all the time!

She had other female cousins who barely, BARELY wore anything! My wife is in the middle. Different strokes for different folks.
