The Islamic Solidarity Games open in Indonesia this weekend following a chaotic run-up, with controversy over female athletes competing in sports bikinis adding to the turmoil.
Some nations demanded that all women cover up for the beach volleyball, track and field, and swimming events, but organizers have refused to axe the two-piece sporting outfits.
"If some countries do not want to use the bikini, that's fine, but if other countries want to, we will allow that," senior organizing committee member Djoko Pramono told AFP.

The Burqa 400M Swim Medley More like the Burqa 40M Swin Medley - 38 meters forward and then 2 meters down to the bottom of the pool when the burqa becomes completely saturated.

The Islamic Solidarity Games are hardly a picture a solidarity?

The obvious solution is to have separate events for the "Swimming in Your Burka" crowd. And, for sure, there needs to be separate records kept for Burka Swim Events since it is obvious that all that luggage is going to slow the swimmers down.
Makes sense to me. See the photo below. And no, that is not a bunny rabbit costume. That is just a typical modest swimsuit suitable for Olympic competition.

No way anyone wearing that outfit will win anything. Too much drag and floppy material.

Muslim men really have no self control, do they? Somehow the rest of the world can look at a woman in a bikini and not rape them.

Not so much that as much as they are set fiends. They just blame and punish the women for their lack of character.
