well Burqua is a different
well Burqua is a different issue, you are looking at it from the wrong point of view, the law against the Burqua was set to reduce suppression of women, there the security message was hidden despite the fact that the police confirmed the security was a serious reason (after all under this tent anyone can hide and can carry there anything. But in the begging case the bastards are trying to accuse these poor people of breaching the public security while in fact they want to show they do something about the public safety.
Btw i have a collection of 600 pictures from those miserable people of the streets in Marseille, i had to be there today.
anyway tolerance is not a quality of a city or a country its a quality of people the marseillsis tolerate even shooting in the streets.

Nice work Amit! Bans on burqa's and begging, Marseilles really is at the forefront.
