I like to speculate that this whole burkini-gate thing can be blamed on its stupid name. When you say 'burkini' to your average French mayor I bet he imagines a full face covering, you know, like a burkah. Sound reasonable? There are good reasons to want to ban full head coverings in public, and the French have a law for just that. Hence the burkini is banned too, right? Right??
Except, the burkini doesn't cover the face. D'oh! What moron named that, then??
