It is a silly thing to be bothered by. The Germans seem more bothered by the rapid demographic changes than something cosmetic like the burkini and it is understandable.
Do you think like an easy backlash on symbolism? Had a friend mention it's really just a strip search for weapons. Given that rapid influx and ease of attacks that's another view. It's a trip really, here in the States numerous cities or counties go to the other end of the extreme banning thong bikinis. People are just too uptight. It's the beach ffs. If we survive the raw sewage spills, the shark hysteria, homeless in hordes and a ban on opened containers we should be allowed to offend on occasion.
