6:52Now PlayingA French court has rejected a Muslim group’s case against a law banning “burkinis.” Is this a good policy? Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

Sefen Guez Guez said by telephone the decision was made by a judge without a debate.
The ruling upholding the ban on so-called burkinis fell as the newspaper Nice Matin revealed that another Riviera town, Villeneuve-Loubet, had issued a similar ban.
France is at the height of vacation season, and on edge after deadly Islamic extremist attacks in Nice and on a Catholic church in northwest France.”*
