  1. Wow, won’t that be great to wear on a 35 degree day in the broiling sun. If she’s even allowed to go to the beach.

  2. What are the chances of ever hearing the song
    … wish they all could be Cal..

  7. My favorite quote: “We have added heat pressed prints on the front of the tops for a little extra modesty to the chest area”
    What are the words, “Don’t look here” ?!?
    This would be a funny thing if it was not such a sad commentary about women’s personal freedoms, and man’s incapacity to contain their lust.
    Welcome to the 12th century – or perhaps a little piece of Victorian pruditry.

  9. Anyone want to claim Bruce from Canada? I found him on the testimonial page.
    “Greetings, I received an email today with a link in it to your product. The email itself was disparaging and was titled “give me a break,” and was obviously intended to be sarcastic. So I want to say, for myself as a Christian fellow, good for you! Good for you, for bridging cultural gaps with understanding and taste. I think your product is a _*great idea*_ and encourage you to continue to do exactly what you are doing. Quite frankly I would rather see beaches full of women wearing your swimsuits, than the g-string bikinis I am currently exposed to, whether I want to look or not. Your swim-wear is certainly more practical than the Victorian era swimsuits with whalebone corsets and lace that where all the rage at the turn of the previous century, back when modesty wasn’t a dirty word in the West. I would also like to praise those women purchasing your product and braving the stupidity and ignorance of their fellow man. Their courage is both ground-breaking and humbling at the same time. I am sure that it will open many doors for Muslim women, while at the same time helping to increase awareness and understanding of one of our world’s most important cultures. Who knows, maybe next Christmas I will purchase one for my niece. Amen and God bless. Allahu Akbar!”
    Remember the SNL Church Lady skit? I’d love to be a fly on the wall next Christmas when neice opens Uncle Bruce’s present.

  11. Do the whole thing in leather, give her a whip, and you’ve got an Islamic dominatrix.

  12. Times have changed,
    And we’ve often rewound the clock,
    Since the Muslims got a shock,
    When they emigrated to Plymouth Rock.
    If today,
    Any shock they should try to stem,
    ‘Stead of landing on Plymouth Rock,
    wish Plymouth Rock would land on them.
    In medieval days a glimpse of stocking
    was seen as some shocking ,
    now
    Heaven knows. Anything goes

  13. slow day in rural saskatchewan? why don’t you spend some time mocking the belief system of saskatchewan mennonites? i suppose their women find full length wool skirts and bonnets quite comfortable during the prairie summers.
    oh, and before anybody gets wise and starts on about how most mennonites are actually quite modern…think about it for a minute.

  14. jeff – they participate in a secular democracy in that when they disapprove of something they’ve never had a contingent strapping on suicide belts, that’s modern enough for me.

  15. Jeff, nice try. The big difference you are either forgetting or intentionally omitting is that the old way Mennonite and Hutterite men also dress in the modest clothing. They don’t subjugate their women through dress like Muslims — they walk their own talk.

  17. When Hutterites start taking down jetliners and stoning teenagers, I’ll be the first to get on their case.

  18. Ratt, string bikinis are good in theory. Unfortunately, only a small percentage of the population can carry them off, but a larger percentage wears them anyways.
    Just to not be sexist, there’s a much larger shouldn’t-but-do percentage of men who wear the, ahem, banana hammock or nut hugger variety of bathing attire.

  20. What all his silliness reveals is the true nature of muslim distain for the infidels lifestyle, even though they feel the strain of integration.
    Integration means involvement with the infidel in his lands as a means to survival for the Muslim Ummah. Muslims may publicly declare they are for “integration” as long as it doesn’t mean “assimilation” and the loss of their Islamic beliefs of superiority.
    Assimilation would mean that muslim girls are free to cohabit with infidel men and bear their children … which is forbidden in Islam on pain of Death.
    No ‘assimilation’ through intermarriage … that’s “haraam” …!!!!

  22. Gee I’d love to see Pam Anderson,Paris,Nicole Richie,Brittney etc.model one of these babies!Half them can’t even keep their knickers on!

  24. So how does she tuck this in under her jeans and t shirt on the way to the beach? Does she need a dry land hijab to go over her aquatic one?
    Why is a muslima allowed out of her darkened room for anyway? I can see the paleostinians letting them out to use as body armour but swimming? What value is that to Allah?

  25. I have personally seen a man with his kids frolicking in the pool while a black tent hovers over to the side. Later when everyone else had left, this unliberated soul actually dared to sit by the edge of the pool and dangle her (gasp!) bare feet in the water. Talk about a fun afternoon in 100 degree heat.

  26. Now don’t get me wrong here, I’m not in favour of the “burquini” any more than the next guy.
    However, can we design a mandatory torso-covering tent for fat, harry European men who like to wear banana-hammocks? Yucky. It’s just hard on the eyes!
