French Court Overturns Law Local Mayor Says He Will Not Comply A top French court on Friday overturned a controversial,temporary ban on Muslim-friendly burkini swimsuits. The Council of States ruling relatesspecifically to thesoutheastern town of Villeneuve-Loubet, but the decision is expected to set a legal precedent forthe approximately30seasidetownsthat have issued similar bans. Lawyer Patrice Spinosi, ofthe Human Rights League, told reporters in Paris that other mayors mustadhereto the ruling and women who have been fined for wearing burkinis can challenge the penalties. However, themayor of Sisco on the French Mediterranean island ofCorsica said he would not lift the ban following the ruling. Former President Nicolas Sarkozy, who is seeking the conservative nomination for the 2017 race, said he would bring in a nationwide burkini ban if elected to his former post. Terror analysts have warned that the dispute will fuel jihadist propaganda as groups like Isis attempt to portray France and other Western countries as at war with Muslims. According to a survey by Ifpop, 64 per cent of French people are in favor of the burkini bans, while 30 per cent described themselves as indifferent and only 6 per cent of respondents were opposed. It seems as if France is the same as the United States, they do not listen to the people either. If they did they would see that the people of France are in favor of this ban by a majority. It is always a small number of people that make up the laws for everyone else. That small number of people are usually the ones that have the worst intentions too. I have said many, many times. If the people that were in France seeking safe harbor had only good intentions they would be willing to do anything they could to make those welcoming them feel safer. But that is not the case, they want everyone else to jump and cater to them. That is not the way it should be in any country that has taken in refugees. H/T Independent UK
