Cannes bans burkinis over suspected link to radical Islamism - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-37056742

I feel this is slightly different to the burka ban debate (despite the name burkini the face is not covered), and it seems the only reason for the ban is because it is 'islamic' the article says that other religious symbols are not banned (skullcaps, crucifix etc).

So, while I generally support a ban on burkas, as the face s covered, I don't support the ban on burkinis. Thoughts?

Burkini resembles a wet suit. What if a Muslim woman chooses to wear a wetsuit to respect her Muslim faith because Burkini is banned. Should she be prohibited from hearing a wetsuit as well?
