Via The Daily Mail:

The French island of Corsica has banned burqinis following a violent clash between North Africans and locals which saw a man harpooned for taking a picture of women wearing the garments.

The French Riviera resorts of Cannes and Villeneuve-Loubet have already banned the Islamic swimsuits, at a time when relations with France’s Muslim community is sensitive following a series of jihadi attacks.

And today Sisco mayor Pierre-Ange Vivoni said burqinis would be banned on the island from tomorrow.

It comes after hatchets and harpoons were thrown in the beach brawl that broke out after a tourist was seen taking pictures of women wearing burkinis in Corsica.

When the bathers objected to the images, a group of local teenagers are said to have come to the photographer’s defence.
