Swimming in a Burqa; Priceless!

If there is something ridiculous, it’s this. I mean, hasn’t she heard of the new Burqini; Bikini for Hijabis? Oh, wait… it shows your face but she doesn’t wanna show her face, she prefers the Ninja type Hijab but she has to swim, so yeah, let’s jump in with the Burqa.

A woman swimming in a Burqa

God knows what country this is, I lived in Dubai my entire life and never saw such a thing. The guy I assume is the Husband otherwise this wonderful sight wouldn’t be possible. My brother suggested this might be photoshoped, hmmmm you think so?

    What business is it of yours what she wears when she swims? Is it because you don’t see a 3/4 naked woman that the sight of her is bothering you?
    Quit making fun of people who refuse to be westernized.

    This pic is very unusual and it calls for attention and rdiciule and that is exactly what it is getting… sorry if you were offended… it happens, get over it!

    The main point of ridicule is that it is not easy to swin wearing any flowing dress leave along a burka

    ok …
    And whats the problem with this picture ?can u tell me?
    She has the right to swim and be in the water like all of u
    Not only naked women with bikinis have this right!!

    Thanks.

    Me and my husband like this photo. At least those people have some maturity that permit them to swim in a family and enjoy life TOGETHER even if they seem to be different. Many of people who live alone, would pay thousand of dollars to have a mature family who can enjoy any kind of sport together :_)
    We think its time to think of our own SHAME!

    The problem is the people like u .. if she didn’t wear any cloth u would say Arab didn’t have any kind of manner .. and if she wears like the women at the photo u think she is crazy .. I will answer u .. don’t bother ur self and took photo for the people when they are enjoy .. I think all the people have the right to do every thing even if they want to walk naked .

    I think everyone should just worry about themselves and not about everyone else. There isn’t anything wrong with the picture or the people in them.

    As long as she is comfortable and not causing harm to herself or others, I see no problem in what she is wearing while she is swimming.

    assalamu 3likom ;
    god bless her and her husband
    this is our religion man u should be proud of it????
    if she didn’t wear any cloth u would say Arab or Muslims
    don’t have any sham or they r not proud of their religion
    please change the title into
    “nice family having nice time”
    or gust remove the pic cause u will be judged by allah sooner or later

    That woman looks scary in that outfit..She looks likes the Black Spiderwoman

    In the western world, general woman swim with swim-suite. If you look at comfort of swimming, yes, thats the good way.
    Non-western people wear day-to-day dress when they swim. They are not comfortable in exposing their body with swim suite. But, mullah people have too stringent norms for public dress code of woman. What ever it may be, Mullah-woman should be treated as human beings.

    As a life guard, someone wearing something like that in the ocean is a definite risk! She could easily drown or suffocate wearing that. Although it is part of the religion, it is impractical and dangerous to wear in the water.

    i agree with janna &mr&mrs.david. someone said that this waman looks like an black spider man .i think she must check her eyesight.’coz the spider man hs tuned into black clor.this woman is wearing a cloth.’coz most of the people think when they swim they should wear bikinis,swimming suits or even naked!but i think when we swim we can waer anything that we like.or in other words (anything means not every thing!) some thing very comfertable to swim and covering our whole body.so this woman have right to wear the burqa when she is swimmin!

    Whoever post this image….wastin’ time. This is none of your business. Has this couples post a bad image of you or somethin’? It might be unusual for whoever or whatever you are or westerners yes this image is priceless because this women have all the respect and she is lookin’ after her body image from all the men who are hungry for unrespected women alike who hardly wear any clothes. Wake up you! start lookin at yourself in the BIG mirror do you think you are so greatly any better than people who have respect for others and themselves?? Think twice or maybe trice before making a comment of other people.

    This photo is an actual photo, not photoshopped as suggested. I have seen the original and it is in Saudi Arabia

    The problem with this is is that there should be a MEDIUM. just because the picture above is being rediculed, it doesn't mean that he is suggesting only bikinis should be worn. THERE IS ALWAYS A MIDDLE GROUND to something…take a look at this http://www.primomoda.com/clothing-store/product...

    Hey ppl, it's tough to guage what is right and what is wrong..What might seem right to you might seem wrong to me and vice-versa depending on culture, background, family, environment an society one lives in..
    Each one of us has a right to choose to live according to his/her own values..In God's eyes all are one..and God is one for all people.. We only give different names to God…. We are but mere humans and have limited vision … So it's not good to judge anyone…

  22. you make me sick 30. Jul, 2010 at 10:17 pm #

    how DARE you make fun of them! have you any damn respect for different cultures? leave her alone, she probably doesn't have a choice but to wear that.
