20:30Now PlayingThe opening of Europe's first hijab-only beach in Montenegro has ignited controversy, raising concerns about religious segregation under the guise of inclusivity. The management of Pearl Beach in Ulcinj announced this exclusive beach for women who wear hijabs and burkinis, with a tall privacy barrier. “All visitors should adhere to the rules and customs prevailing in this area,” the advertisement declares, emphasizing the imposition of Islamic modesty rules. This development follows rising violence and harassment against Muslim women at Montenegrin beach resorts, such as the incident where a Kuwaiti hijabi and her family were sprayed with alcohol from a hotel balcony, and a teenager in a burkini was barred from a pool by a man claiming, “he hates Muslims.” While proponents claim the hijab-only beach promotes inclusivity and protects Muslim women from discrimination, detractors see it as a step backward, fostering religious exclusivity rather than integration. The controversy reflects broader debates across Europe, where burkini bans in France, Germany, and Italy have sparked intense discussions about secularism and religious freedom. Despite Montenegro’s majority Orthodox Christian population, Ulcinj, with its 68% Muslim demographic, mirrors the tensions between secular and religious communities throughout the continent.
