Turkish businessman Mehmet Sahin has designed what he says is the world's first Islam-inspired swimsuit and sells head-to-ankle bathing gear to devout well-heeled Muslims, including the wives of Turkey's leading politicians.

What...fully equipped with an explosive laden cincher and ball bearing filled cups?

I'll come in sideways here. Is it barely possible that the loss of modesty (both sexes), but especially from women (men are beasts), just might coincide with the slide into the moral abyss that we are on?

Isn't this a little disingenuous? The brightly colored striped part is like modest swimsuits that exist now, maybe a little longer, over a dark background meant to fade away. As though it isn't there, so the focus is on the striped mini dress. Kind of like eating bacon flavored tofu strips made to look like bacon and try to taste like bacon.

Those bare arms and legs won't get past the sin police in Iran and other places. Look away, scandal!

"Just because a woman doesn't wear a bikini to the beach or show off her belly button at the grocery store doesn't automatically means she's oppressed."

It means they're oppressed if it's forced on them; which it is.

In Turkey, which is where these swimsuits come form that we have been discussing, women are actually banned from entering government property (including attending university) if they are wearing hijab.

That’s true. Also avoid sun burn and poisening. After 10 minutes - put on your veil to avoid a red face.

Red shell is for lobsters not humans. Besides the health problem, don’t get passes from creeps who just want a short fling before going on the next girl. The beach is just a giant buffet for sex fiends.

Try going to the beach in Northern California. Even in the middle of the summer it's too cold to wear any kind of bathing suit, IMO, even these Muslim style suits. I can't remember the last time I put on a bathing suit. LOL!

Welcome to FR!
