#4 under an islamist regime, the expensive hotels near the red sea, which draw muslims from around the world, will either have to get a systemic exception from the 'no alcohol, no skin showing' rules or else they will close

#6 I wish Egypt every bit of luck with the elections . But given the Islamic mindset and their propensity to make poor decisions , I doubt that donkey man and co are gonna get affluent in any shape or form .

#7 tw,

that shariah compliant swimwear ought to be good for preventing sunburn but swimming in them will be difficult

also, I suspect many Wahhabis would consider those suits un Islamic since they still show some femininity

Agreed, Lord Garth. But at least the ladies will be able to splash in the shallows with the babies instead of roasting on the sand in black tents, watching the males of the species enjoy themselves.

#11 Wait, you mean soon-to-be-sharia-compliant middle eastern shitholes aren't a top vacay destination anymore?

#12 Trailing Wife,
Muslim compiant swimsuits won't be enough. First of all, both hair and ankles are showing. That's enough to drive any muslim man crazy with lust.

Second the very idea that women and men might appear together inpublic is sinful beyond belief. Best keep the women indoors and covered so men aren't led into temptation.
