The manager of the touristic village Paradise Resort in Ras Sudr verbally abused his guests for wearing burkinis in the pool. “How could you swim in the pool with this thing on? Go swim with it anywhere else,” the manager told them, as reported by the state-owned Al-Ahram.

 

Four women in the pool were terrorized by a series of reactions by the village’s manager: after the women resisted, the manager sent his workers and ordered them to swim in the pool with their underwear – as to make fun of the burkini, saying sarcastically, “Oh, what is the point, it has become a swamp!”

 


Then he ordered his workers to bring gallons of chlorine to the pool and pour them into the water, as a gesture to force the women to get out of the water since the chlorine is meant to sterilize it. He then threatened to sterilize the pool with nitric acid next if they were still in the pool.

 

The women were not silenced; they went to file a complaint against the manager in the police station nearby.

 

It seems that after the burkini ban happened in France, some on the other side of the world decided to follow in the footsteps of their idols. But they forgot to follow up on the story France has been strongly shamed over, to find that the ban has been lifted by French courts because it was “clearly illegal” to strip this basic civil right from harmless civilians.

 

 

WE SAID THIS: Mafeesh fayda.
