A photo taken on August 19, 2016 shows two covered women wearing hijabs swimming in the sea, at Shengjin beach near the city of Lezhe. The ban on the Islamic burkini swimsuit on some French beaches has triggered disdain in English-speaking countries, where outlawing religion-oriented clothing is seen as hampering integration.
