Burquini Clad Lifeguards in Australia
What do you get when you combine a bikini with a burqua, as Muslim lifeguards are doing on Aussie beaches?
A burquini.
Now let me just say that I am all for modest swimwear. And women are the worst offenders in that regard. At my parents pool, I’ve seen women lying down with their legs splayed out with only two or three inches of fabric covering their privates. Then there was the time I saw a woman who must have been at least in her late fifties wearing a skimpy strapless red bikini. What on earth was she thinking?
On the other hand, I couldn’t imagine wearing this in the hot sun, never mind swimming in it.

These women think they are modern but they don’t know how low they look to men like that.
By the way there are some more modern bikini that even it’s not inches fabric but just a string.

The rapist mufti in Australia is at it again…
Hot Air reports that the mufti in Australia named Hilaly, the creep who justified rape and said that women who don’t wear headscarved are asking for it, has again taken the same position on Egyptian TV…

I’m an average Australian woman (not muslim) and I want one! As for the comment that the burquini must be hot to wear – I don’t think it would be because a lot of Aussies wear shirts for swimming made from the same material and it actually feels better than exposed skin and surprisingly cool.

You have a point, Lee. Many Australians are very fair skinned, and prone to skin cancer. So this makes sense in that regard. Also, with something like this, women wouldn’t have to constantly wax either.

Just posted a breakdown of my thoughts on this specific ‘burquini’ issue over what just happened in Paris.
