The Burqini, a Swim Suit for Muslim Women
Spotting a Muslim on the beach is almost impossible. At least, was impossible. A new swim suit invites Islamic women to take the plunge.
I am not a Muslim and I am not smart enough to go into details why some Islamic women dress in burqas.
What I do know is, burqas worn on the beach could make the person wearing it dehydrate.
In Australia they have solved that problem.
Several news medias, including hadeseh.com, have recently reported of an Australian clothing designer, who mixed a bikini and a burqa into a burqini.
Mecca Laalaa, a 20 years old Muslim, wears the burqini with great pride. She is one of several life savers with Islamic background working on Cronulla Beach. Now, she has got her 15 minutes for a promoting the burqini.
In my opinion, the burqini fits the female body very well, and hopefully this Australian trend will spread to beaches all around the world.
