Bums, buttocks, tushes. Since I am on vacation at the beach it is no surprise that they are everywhere. Big ones, baby ones and ones that I covet for my very own. Yet, as different as these bottoms may be in size and shape they are almost uniformly appareled in teensy weensy bikini bottoms.
I grew up in a conservative Muslim household and would sooner order pork loin for dinner washed back with a couple of bottles of Heineken than stroll down the beach in a two piece. Even if modesty wasn’t an issue, my 40-something derriere and my belly that housed and protected three children would put a kibosh on the bikini shopping. Do some of these women not have a clue as to what their backsides look like? Do they not have a passing acquaintance with a mirror or a trusty friend who could possibly say, “No offence but, THAT is not attractive.” So, I have to assume that bikinis on the beach are akin to skis on the slopes or cleats on a field-worn without question.
But as I look – or rather attempt to look away– I wonder where is the concept of modesty among these women? As a mother of a teenage girl I wonder how other mothers are willing to send their daughters out the front door dressed in a little more fabric than found in a large handkerchief. I can only deduce that the dual concepts of shame and modesty that were so earnestly indoctrinated into me and my sister at home and all of my peers in Islamic Sunday school never made it to the masses lounging beside me poolside. Or maybe these principles were inculcated into these women but the ubiquitous nature of pop culture has obliterated these lessons from memory? A culture that believes the human body is beautiful and ought to be flaunted, deems celebrities who pose nude on magazine covers while pregnant empowered, and considers a skintight dress "hot" but a low-cut skintight dress "hotter" leads to major dress drama when trying to shop for clothes with a teenage girl.
My daughter is generally pretty easy going. Well, equal parts mellow and diva as only a teenage girl can be. But growing up in the Brittany Spears/Rihanna/Lady Gaga era has had some influence on what she deems acceptable attire. In the winter her wardrobe doesn’t cause a fuss. Stick her in a pair of jeans, a pair of Uggs and a North Face fleece and she’s happy, I am happy and her dad is very happy. In the summertime, however, the livin’ ain’t so easy. As temperatures rise so naturally do hemlines and shirt sleeves. My daughter escaped from her Islamic school and instead attends an all-girls Catholic school, and while the nuns dictate the dress code, they allow considerable leeway within the guide lines. Surprisingly enough, the nun’s idea of conservative and mine don’t mesh. Here is where FBI negotiators can drop by our home and brush up on their skills – observing the ferocious debates between my daughter and I over the exact definition of cleavage.

Rules!
All part of normalizing muslim terrorists in our country
Small-minded people from a small-minded “culture”, if that’s the term for it.
Though shall not covet thy neighbors ass. ;)
Best thing you could do for your daughter is get her away from that satanic cult called Islam.
So putting a bikini on your daughter is unthinkable, but strapping a bomb to her is ok?
Sorry, I don’t need lectures from any Muslim regarding modesty when they are blowing innocent people to bits around the world. Kind of puts cellulite in perspective.
Oh my.....I think my eyes just melted. mesd ap mi kybeard
“Sorry, but I don’t need lectures from any Muslim.” That is EXACTLY how this hit me, too. Ma’am, you were taught that girls should be modest, and beaten and submissive, and clitorectomized when necessary, that your god (small g, not a real god) liked it when others were beheaded and blown up in his name.
Comes as a package.
Get the h**#% outta here if you don’t like it.
Prostitutes in Cairo wear burkas. I was shocked.
Muslims hate all of God’s creation. That’s why they cover their women.
I personally don’t give a $hit what a moslem thinks about anything. Reading this was a waste of my time because I know and very firmly understand what islam is. It is a system of government with a beard it calls a “religion”. Like the enabler of islam who currently seeks to tax infidels like myself islam has no place in free lands.
This is a free country and the last time I checked women are not moo cows and are free to dress and do what they like. Just because some moslem who prefers to wear a bee keeper outfit does not like what she sees on the beach am I to care about that? Nope. She has the option of not going to the beach, leaving the beach or buying her own beach. Or I’d suggest that her time might be better spent trying to get her so-called “religion” to allow her to butt sniff and pray out in to space in the same room with her man.
Screw these facists who think they can dictate anything in this country based upon their sick thing they call islam.
Abnormal, subjugated woman who believes she is inferior to men:
Mom has a problem all right.
Honor killing in 5-4-3-2-1...
“In the spirit of full disclosure I should say my daughter and I do not cover our hair, and it is the rule of modesty not the rule of the Qur’an that governs our clothing battles.”
It seems to me that while this woman was raised in bondage, she is escaping traditional Islam. Her daughter is definately leaving it behind, if she wants a bikini.
Traditional Islam and the west is incompatable. The ME Muzzies know this, and freely declare war on us and our lifestyle. We are too stupid to realize this, and are caught in this mess of trying to meld the two together.
Either the woman must submit and become a possession, or she must escape.
‘I personally don’t give a $hit what a moslem thinks about anything. Reading this was a waste of my time”
There’s two kinds of people in the world, people like you and people like me and Sun Tzu. He and I very strongly believe in knowing one’s enemies, in the faint hope that some are no longer enemies when they are well known, and in the more practical sense of being able to understand and predict.
I can’t argue with her point that too many people look like s*** in a bikini or a speedo. Yuck.
