Examples
The flap over skimpy swimwear here turned Europe’s burkini debate on its head.
It's also a security issue: it's easy to conceal a weapon under a burkini and all it takes is sunglasses to make yourself unrecognizable.
So the burkini has every right to exist, even if we mustn't be naive: those who wear it often defend a fundamentalist view of society and are well aware that they are exerting pressure on those around them.
The burkini has caused significant controversy in Europe, however, including in France where various jurisdictions have attempted to outlaw the garment.
