In the wake of France’s recent ban on “burkinis”, former French President Nicholas Sarkozy says he would add that ban to the French Constitution if reelected next spring. The ban on these garments was put out as a knee-jerk reaction to the extremist-Islamic violence that has plagues the country in recent months. The courts, however struck down that ban as unconstitutional, which led to Sarkozy’s remarks.
