#1 The court was between a rock and a hard place. Banning the "Burkini" would have required the banning of habits worn by Catholic Sisters, who also visit the beachs.

Multiculturalism blowback.

I do not understand that claim. The habits of the various orders of Catholic nuns are as much a uniform as that worn by soldiers or police, designed to identify the members to the general public and each other. The burkini is a recently developed fashion and sport item for a particular activity, as subject to regulation by the authorities as female topless sunbathing or nudity.

#4 tw, I don't know about France, but at least in the US, several(not all)orders of nuns have given up wearing the habit.
