How can you mock a person's right to wear what they want in order to feel comfortable and enjoy life the way they want. no one's forcing anyone else to wear it, just because you don't want to and think its uncomfortable. clothes are a persons choice and human right to choose, what if you were told you could not wear something you like to wear, because everyone else think it looks rediculous on you, all humans have feelings and if you cant respect others feelings dont think others will respect yours anytime soon.

Always judging one person to a whole. I don't judge one atheist to others, I don't know why you should judge one Muslim as a whole community. You're a free thinker, but it's really getting you nowhere in life.. you're going to blog about bitching and whining about other people who are fighting for rights and enjoying their lives, while you mope around with other few ignorant and hateful atheists, commenting and blogging, and hugging each other because you all agree on so much. At least they want to swim. Most nuns do not even think about swimming. And for another point, leave the Christians alone!! Someone needs to focus on other things than being such a Jesus hater *cough!* By the way, besides blogging, do you sit at home playing World of Warcraft and eat fish and chips all day? How much do you weigh? Or are you one of those very hip, Macbook-carrying, "open-minded" losers that goes to Starbucks everyday for free internet and have some coffee?

Did you think women 90 years ago wear the same things women wear to the beach now? Quit being such perverts and jackasses.. just because someone doesn't want to show you a thong bikini you get all hyped up about this and promote hating against people of certain religion for no reason. You guys are just all mad about something stupid. And everyone needs to stop comparing Christianity, because it has nothing to do with this.

(Anyone know why this is, or what can be done to prevent it?) However, burqinis seem to come in many styles. Some are certainly just like the full-body swimsuits, only with a hood, but I would imagine that many Muslims would consider that this just negates the very purpose of wearing the thing, which is to hide the female form! I don't know which type this woman was wearing, but some look for all the world like a loose top and "trackie" bottoms, so how would staff be able to decide whether a woman was wearing a swimsuit or outdoor clothes? <i> flippertie</i> summed it all up perfectly above, I think. Strangely, there doesn't seem to be any problem with women being raped at swimming pools, though we have no way of knowing how many sexual perverts frequent them for the purposes of titillation, but I have a feeling that it is not the sight of the naked female body that sparks their behaviour anyway.

Also although the rationale for the burqini is inherently based in Islamic culture which I don't agree with there are unintended beneficial aspects to it like it protects from the sun and women who don't feel comfortable swimming in some itsy bitsy swim suit because of their bodies can wear one of these instead.

Off of Israel, out in the bay;

But the Arabs all cried,

As her form they espied:

"That is Fatima, who's lost her way!"
