#1 Just when you think you've heard and seen it all. This is so incredibly laughable, it's beyond words. Besides, there's no need for muzzie lifeguards. If a muzzies gets in trouble, the regulars will handle it fine.

"Look Jack, you see that one waving out there ?"
"Nope, I don't see nothin'. Check that string bikini over there to the left."

#2 Those one piecers may become desireable during jellyfish season down south -- I'm told even so much as nylon stockings over bare skin can prevent being stung.

#3 Note that this is supposed to be a VOLUNTEER organization, but that they get money to RECRUIT Muslims. Not necessarily support operations, but to RECRUIT Muslims.

At the same time, you'd have thunk that a MUSLIM country would have thought about using this sort of material for this sort of application LONG BEFORE the Aussies had to address this issue. The demand that one wear the Burqa even while swimming has been around for years, and it is common knowledge that Arab men wear as little at the beach as the Euro men do, while women trying to enjoy one of God's gifts of nature have to risk their lives swimming while in a bag.

The fact that NO THOUGHT was ever given to this issue by Arab Muslims is reflective of the core contradictory attitude toward women: valuable enough to suppress and cover up, but not valuable enough to provide SAFE beach wear.

Rack up ANOTHER example of the West coming to the rescue of women caught in Muslim insanity.

#4 "One, two, three four, tell the Ummah
what she wore in Cronulla today.
It was a baggy, saggy, soggy, clingy
yellow crescent moon burquini
keeping the Bondi cigars away."

#5 Well now.

I think this is a good thing. The burqini part is laughable -- try wearing that in the 95 degree sun (35˚C for you metric fans) and I'll just bet that in a couple days that sleek aussie lifeguard outfit will start looking pretty good.

But what you have here are a group of Muslim immigrants who are, best as I can tell, trying to integrate into something that's a tradition in the country. Now if they're doing that with the best of intentions (yeah, yeah, I know, I know) that's great, and Australia needs more of it. Immigrants have to assimilate. That's their #1 job. If these kids are lifeguarding so as to do that, good.

And if not, we'll figure it out.

#6 "It's about counteracting the negative stereotyping of Muslims, which has been very bad over the last five years. Our greatest enemy is ignorance."

No, I think your greatest enemy is your midevil religion of death and fire. This is typical muslim bullshit. The problem in Cronulla was a bunch of arab freaks drooling on the girls and raping them on their way home at night, not us white folks.

#8 No longer wanting to be associated only with bronzed, blue-eyed action men, Surf Life Saving Australia is attempting to better reflect the ~~country's multicultural mix~~ seventh-century.

Fixed.

#9 If these kids are lifeguarding so as to do that, good.

I'm waiting for the first time a devout Muslim saves a member of the opposite sex (or vice versa) and needs to do mouth-to-mouth. I bet we'll see the limits of this assimilation then.

#11 xbalanke nails it. Will that mean the save Muslims only? Or, how will they react to a drowning member of the opposite sex? What if I start choking on some BBQ pork ribs on the beach?

Inquiring minds and all....

#12 Don't kid yourself. After some improvements they'll wind up selling a million of them.

#14 Chesty, if you ever seen the nude beaches in Northern California, you would want to enforce the burqinis.

#15 Will Muslim life guards rescue people with alchohol? Will they help a blind person with a guide dog?

#16 #15 - There are moslem life guards?

For what? Insh'allah.
