Burkini ban illegal


Islam has just wormed it's way into Western civilization a little bit more with the burkini.

Of course, only women have to wear them.

Burkini ban illegal
Published: Saturday 14 March 2009 10:23 UTC

The Dutch Equal Treatment Commission has ruled that a council-run swimming pool in the eastern town of Hengelo acted illegally when it banned the wearing of the garment known as a "burkini." The burkini, which leaves only the head, hands and feet of a swimmer uncovered, is worn by Muslim women who adhere to the strictures of their faith regarding dress. The commission said the ban was an unnecessary encroachment on the freedom of religion.
