Young Muslim women will definitely save money on bikini wax and suntan lotion at the beach this year.
That's because the burkini, the latest in swimwear for Muslim women, is making its appearance and creating quite a stir on Australia's beaches, famous for their scantily-attired females. A hybrid of the Islamic burqa and the Western world's much-beloved bikini, the lycra, two-piece bathing suit covers its wearer from head to foot, showing only the hands, feet and face.
The full-length swimsuit's designer, Lebanon-born Aheda Zanetti, told the media her lightweight creation is meant to allow Muslim women to enjoy water sports, while still remaining modestly dressed. The burkini also differs from other Muslim swimwear for females already in existence, Zanetti said, in that it is the first two-piece suit incorporating a head covering. Up until now, Muslim women have been wearing heavy robes and dresses to the beach unsuitable for swimming. (Who says there isn't progress being made for women in the Islamic world?)

The silly thing is - any place they could wear that burkini they could wear a regular bikini.
If you can't drive a car in a country they sure as heck aren't going to let you go to the beach in that.

It's interesting to note this modesty kick pre-dates Islam. Read David Victor Hansen's account of the battle of Salamis. There were hundreds of warboats in a small inlet, persian and greek. The main weapon was ramming and sinking of the opponents boat. The greeks had no problem stripping down and swimming to the shore. The persians sank in their full robes. 30,000 of them in one afternoon. Along with their life savings. The ME never got around to inventing banks.

Ugly indeed. Yet if a degenerate, horny islamic really wants a piece of a**, he won't care where it comes from, be it islamic or infidel because when you get down to it, rape is the same.

There must be a happy medium between the oppressive attitude toward sex found in Muslim culture and the abject sluttiness promoted by Hollywood -- oh yeah it's called be a normal friggin' person.

Indeed. It's pathetic that a so-called "conservative" makes excuses for the barbarians.

My Allah! She's showing her face, ankles, and wrists! She must be beaten to a bloody pulp for her transgressions. Praise Allah.
Actually, she NEEDS to cover THAT face. The cry should be, "Allah YUKbar!".

Exactly. There is a happy medium. Both the Hollyweird porn culture and Islamic sex aversion are dysfunctional attitudes to be shunned.

It's interesting to note this modesty kick pre-dates Islam.A lot of what we consider the more barbaric aspects of Islam actually predate the religion. It's just old tribal stuff that followers of Islam have found they can still follow while being adherents to the religion. There's probably an argument to be made that Islam wouldn't have spread so far if it didn't allow people to keep those ancient cultural traditions like killing your daughter if you see her holding hands with a boy or raping a woman if she's such a brazen hussy that she let you see her eyes.

Nevertheless, the burkini has gone to the beach in Australia - and maybe soon to one near you. Please, NO.
