But since the burkini is a propaganda tool of radical Islam, making it illegal only feeds into radical Muslim propaganda about a "war on Islam" and "Muslim oppression". There's no practical reason to ban burkinis, it's just an emotional reaction to a series of terrorist attacks.Phil_Giordana_FCD wrote:The burkini is a symbol of radical islam, nothing to do with the moderates. It is used as a propaganda tool.
Case in point, before the attack, there were seldom any burkinis at the beach in Nice (rarely a few would be seen at the public swimming pool). They started showing up on the beach right after the attack.
Anyone wonder why?
And anyone care to take a second and wonder what that says to a city that is still strongly traumatized?

Armageddon Days (Are Here Again)
This song is by The The and appears on the album Mind Bomb (1989).
They're 5 miles high as the crow flies
Leavin' vapour trails against a blood red sky
Movin' in from the East toward the West
With Baclava helmets over their heads, yes!
But if you think that Jesus Christ is coming
Honey you've got another thing coming
If he ever finds out who's hi-jacked his name
He'll cut out his heart and turn in his grave
Islam is rising
The Christians mobilising
The world is on its elbows and knees
It's forgotten the message and worships the creeds
It's war, she cried, It's war, she cried, this is war
Drop your possessions, all you simple folk
You will fight them on the beaches in your underclothes
You will thank the good lord for raising the union jack
You'll watch the ships sail out of harbour
and the bodies come floating back
You'll watch the ships sail out of harbour
and the bodies come floating back
But if you think that Jesus Christ is coming
Honey you've got another thing coming
If he ever finds out who's hi-jacked his name
He'll cut out his heart and turn in his grave
Islam is rising
The Christians mobilising
The world is on its elbows and knees
It's forgotten the message and worships the creeds
If the real Jesus Christ were to stand up today
He'd be gunned down cold by the C.I.A.
Oh, the lights that now burn brightest behind stained glass
Will cast the darkest shadows upon the human heart
But God didn't build himself that throne
God doesn't live in Israel or Rome
God doesn't belong to the yankee dollar
God doesn't plant the bombs for Hizbollah
God doesn't even go to church
And God won't send us down to Allah to burn
God will remind us what we already know
That the human race is about to reap what it's sown
Islam is rising
The Christians mobilising
The world is on its elbows and knees
It's forgotten the message and worships the creeds
The world is on its elbows and knees
It's forgotten the message and worships the creeds
The world is on its elbows and knees
It's forgotten the message and worships the creeds
(The world is on its elbows and knees
It's forgotten the message and worships the creeds)
Armageddon days are here again
Armageddon days are here again
Armageddon days are here again
Armageddon days are here
