The burqini (pic) has been described as like a full-length wetsuit with built-on hood, but somewhat looser and made of swimsuit material instead of rubber. Frankly, I think it looks more like pajamas with a shower cap. Either way, it doesn't seem as though the burqini would make athletics easy, rather just possible.
Although some Muslim females are excited about the burqini, the scholars of Islam are opposed. According to Safa Suling Tan of The Muslim Weekly, the burqini shows the shape of one's shoulders, arms, legs, and neck. It is also without extra covering for the chest so the shape of the breast can be seen and, horror of horrors, the feet are exposed for anyone to see.
In summary, the burqini compromises one's faith and displeases Allah.
[According to Tan] "I am sure most of us Muslim women would love to catch a break on the wave, go jet skiing and wake boarding, or just good old free styling, but I am more sure that most of us have given up those pleasures to seek the greatest one -- that of pleasing Allah."Therefore, the burqini is considered immodest and contrary to the wishes of Allah. And Muslim females should not be thinking of swimming, jetskiing and other beach activities at all.

Why is it that Arabs think they're "special" and deserving of anything over and above what everyone else? "oh, I'm islamic so I can't show my body, and my god loves me more than you kaffirs(unclean ones)"..hey, good for you, but if you want to limit yourself don't expect the rest of us to bow and scrape at your stupidity.
Mohommed was a pedophile, a liar and a theif as well as a murderer..and these people revere him.
NOT my business, but personally, I don't want them on my beaches, or in the oceans, unless its for chum.
if that makes me a bad guy then I guess I'll play that part.

The' burquini' may look stupid - and it does - but it's a giant leap from the jet black sheet of oppression. I guess that's why the crazies don't like it. I mean, if they're all owed to decide what to wear, next they'll want the right to vote! Heaven forbid!
Scumbags.

of 178 UAE women, "Many dressed to cover their whole bodies, including
their hands and faces, while outside of their homes. Only two of the
women, one in each group, were not vitamin D deficient." After three
months of supplements, only 30 percent of the women who finished the
study achieved recommended levels of vitamin D. Researchers'
conclusion: These women need higher doses of vitamin D. Human Nature's
conclusion: They need lower doses of fundamentalism.
