A sign shows the bylaw forbidding women to wear Burkini at the Ponchettes beach, in Nice, southeastern France, Aug. 19.Re: Aug. 24 letter to the editor.
While I admittedly did not study Islam or counterterrorism at Princeton, as did letter-writer Anya Gersoff, to attribute the mass slaughter of hundreds of innocent French men, women and children in attacks such as Charlie Hebdo, Paris and Nice to Muslim women not being able to wear their burkini swimming suits on certain beaches in France seems a bit far-fetched. If not, the problem of Islamic extremism is much more intractable than one could hope to imagine.
