Islam Means Misogyny
Yet another reason that Islam hates women. If Muslim Women are even allowed out of the house unescorted, and if they can find their way to the beach since they are not allowed to drive, maybe they can lounge in the sun in the new “Bathing Burka.”
From Reuters here:
An unusual type of swimwear is standing out on Turkish beaches this summer — Islam-inspired swimsuits — which buck the trend of the past 100 years for swimsuits to get smaller.
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.
His brightly-colored women’s swimming costumes look like shiny track-suits with stretchy hoods, while the racier models are like catsuits with a separate overall to cover the curves.
These costumes are a throwback to the type of swimwear worn before Australian swimmer Annette Kellerman invented and wore the first one piece swimsuit in 1906. She was arrested in the United States in 1907 for wearing the one piece suit that showed her arms, legs and neck.
Notice how the article tries to draw a moral equivalent between how muslim women are treated today with how women were treated in the United States a century ago? The difference is that in the United States, our society has PROGRESSED. Anywhere where Islam has power, the nation is quickly REGRESSING toward a goal of 7th century lifestyle and behavior.
You will see my ignorance through my questions: Are Muslim women even allowed to “bathe” with men? Will they just wear this “bathing suit” to sit in the sun instead of go in the water?
To answer this, it really depends on the local customs and how progressive they are. In Turkey right now, yes, they are allowed. But there is a movement to change that. In Saudi Arabia, there are men that chase women around who show skin, even if they are tourists, and they will smack the women with the sticks.
Its not assault, its the law. See this post: http://www.belch.com/~blog/2006/05/19/islam-forbids-women-to-exercise/
There are also movements to make some swimming pools in the United States open for just muslims on certain days because women are forbidden by the Koran to show their shoulders to anyone other than their husbands. And the same with making some theme parks Muslim only for certain days of the year.
Many Muslim countries are quickly moving backwards where they were once progressive. Somalia, Sudan, Turkey, Iran, Indonesia and Pakistan are all quickly adopting hard line stances on women’s rights.

It shows how women are often tricked into marrying men and after men have sex with them, they quickly divorce them just by saying “I divorce you” 3 times in public.
