Ban the Burkini

[abaris]

Where it ends is irrelevant to the issue.  Whether it is preferentially applied, and considered less applicable to some group than others, is the crux.

And that's where you're fundamentally wrong. What about transgender people? I met one at a sub station. All dressed up like a girl. If asked a considerable part of the population would ban that too. You don't draw the line at dress codes if you are about secularism and freedom of expression. You draw the one and only line at hurting others.
