Whether or not one agrees with this, the woman should have known the law, just as a bikini wearing Western woman should know an Islamic country's laws.

People are forgetting that the situation is tense in the south of France, France gnerally in fact. Only a few weeks ago a murderer with possible Islamist motives drove a lorry through a crowd of people in Nice. I don't blame the authorities for wanting to minimise overt displays of affiliation to Islam in a French seaside resort at the current time. The...

Someone from France 4 TV news just happened to be nearby as well. Plus the woman had been cabin crew so would have been used to wearing western attire so it seems a bit strange that she went to the beach in that get up.
What airline did she work for? And maybe France 4 were also expecting some kind of incident given this new law?

We can speculate all we like, but it hardly matters whether this one incident was set up or not - not all of them are set up, and they all (photographed or not) make the point is that France is becoming a more repressive state.

Xenophobia and a fear-provoking media - always a lethal combination.

No, that's not what I meant, which is a very good reason why I didn't say it!

You really must learn to read posts for what they say, not what you would like them so say, so you can get cross.
Andy-hughes, //Xenophobia and a fear-provoking media - always a lethal combination. //

Nope. Can’t think of another reason France would be twitchy about Islam. As you said on another thread:

//Simple trust in the inherent goodness of the average human being, and looking at what is there, not what the media tells you is there - will get all of us through, and we can all relax and enjoy life!//

There you are, France. Listen to andy-hughes who has all the answers – and good luck with getting the Muslim population, who care nothing for the much quoted (on AB at least) “liberté, égalité, fraternité’ to join you in this idealistic love-fest! You'll be making daisy-chains and dancing around maypoles together before you know it!
Thanks 237 - perhaps now the Police can address the real issue and not have to worry about beachwear.

"FACT", not a sign of Xenophobia or even a fear-provoking media, unless one can put the blame on the BBC?
