New! For Australian Beaches: The Burkini !

The "Burkini" will allow Muslim women to swim in an acceptable fashion.

personally I have to say it looks backwards.

But are bikini's really more advanced/better are they a evolutionary step forward, neutral, or step backward.

i like em but I am not sure they advance society.

After the ethnic trouble last summer, between Aussies and Lebanese muslims, I think they'd better find beaches for muslims only.

There is term for those who think that way, it is called a Dhimmi. Muslims in Australia ought get use to how Australians dress at the beach. Setting aside a beach for Muslims will do no good.

Disley,

I still believe you should adopt the culture of the land you are in. The whole dress thing though,,, I am not sure if it rises to the level of not adopting the culture of your adopted land.

clothes seems like a personal choice.

language (a must)
Laws (a must) no honor killing and such and wife can sue for divorce same as man
clothes (seems optional to me)

I don't know why they bother, trying to look so different is just as extroverted as punks in their torn clothes and safety pins.
