John Passant has an article on his site that argues the banning of the Bikini since some want to ban the Burqa.John argues that the bikini is a symbol of female repression.

My solution is to have new form of dress which is a combination of the Burqa and the Bikini.The Burqini will be the great equaliser on Bondi Beach.You could be really ugly or an absolute stunner and none will ever know.A Burqa head dress and a Bikini bottom would have many advantages.

Those people who live on Burqini Atoll though,will have to take many precautions.They must under no circumstances find oil since the Western Govts will have to invade them and bring in a new form of de-mockracy.Weapons of mass seduction will also have to hidden away and they may have to resort to the full Burqa to prevent an invasion.

Weapons inspectors will be deployed at Bondi Beach with tape measures in hand just like the 1960's, to make sure everyone measures up.(In case to didn't know,bikinis in the 60's were measured at the sides by beach inspectors.Too narrow and you were asked to leave the beach.)

Now Aust being an egalitarian country will allow men to also wear the Burqinis.When robbing a bank,the teller can ask the thief," Is that a gun in your Burqini,or are you just glad to be here?" Weapons of mass seduction unfortunately will not make a bank part with it's money.Just ask Saddham.He had a $ billion in cash and no weapons but still got hung.Had he been wearing the Burqini,all would have been well.No one would have recognised him.

Now since we cannot see faces perhaps even people's eyes ,there will have to be a new form of recognition.We will have to recognise people by their navels.We could have navel prints,navel gazing or even navel watch,to make sure those weapons are well tucked away.Navel communication will mean a reversion to morse code and people will have to learn how to make their navels wink.

So do any of our OLO readers have suggestions for new uses of the Burqini?

I'd stop the medication if I were you Arjay.

No, he would just have been well hung.

Burqini for women and the mankini for men (thank you BORAT).

A kinky couple could wear each others.

"we must stand firm against all the bans on Muslim clothing and say, “women themselves must decide their fate.” This puts us on the strongest ground to oppose racism, defend secularism and fight for women’s liberation." John Passant
http://enpassant.com.au/?p=4205

By this logic we should also defend secularism, oppose racism and fight for women's liberation by permitting Islamic women to be beaten by their husbands, if they believe in the Koranic injunctions to do so and accept that as their fate.
