Was actually surprising she didn't feel threatened. Would have been different if it was in a different country. I mean, even Muslim politicians in Afghanistan who are asking for moderation get assassinated - to the people's approval. Guess she's lucky she's in India.

I can just imagine how uncomfortable it would be to play with a full body suit on. I imagine she would have been asked to wear something similar to a burkini. Of course except it would be wet from sweat rather than water.

Lol. Most sports clothing is engineered for max human performance today. Going RETRO-BURKA-MODE would have meant just one thing, that she would have lost the competitions.

Looking into the matter a bit closer, I find that this woman really does have some rather amazing honkers. She is positively endowed with let us say, headlights.

Of course, another fatwa orders that any woman swimming in the sea is an adultress.

 fatwas decreed that women who swim in the sea are committing "adultery" -- even if they wear a hijab: "The reason behind this particular fatwa, from their point of view, is that the sea is masculine [as with many other languages, Arabic nouns are gender specific, and "sea" is masculine], and when the water touches the woman's private parts she becomes an 'adulteress' and should be punished."

Despite all those treats from the radical Islamists, she married a Pakistani (for an Indian, that is very uncomfortable choice). After the marriage however, the protests against her short clothes stopped.

There were many objections raised when Sania was wearing skirts while playing tennis and it became such a big controversy back then. But then these kind of issues are raised even today where a Muslim TV actress was bashed for wearing sindoor (that's a Hindu tradition for married women). India being a secular country, nobody can be arrested for such issues but these kind of reports still keep happening which is sad. It's not what happens only with Muslims, even Hindus are targetted for even talking about their own God.

https://www.endtime.com/prophecy-news/islamic-state-issues-fatwa-against-children-with-down-syndrome-murders-38-disabled-infants/

According to the Iraqi activist blog Mosul Eye, sharia judges have ruled that ISIS followers are authorized to kill infants with Down Syndrome or congenital deformities. Already since the religious decree (fatwa) was issued, militants have killed at least 38 children between one week and three months old by lethal injection or suffocation.

In a post on the Mosul Eye Facebook page, the group claims that any child with a disability is now at risk of being killed, and released a brief video showing disabled children. The killings reportedly took place in ISIS strongholds in Syria and Mosul, the northern Iraqi city seized by ISIS in June 2014.

Mosul Eye claims to report directly from Mosul, and has reliably reported on Islamic State incidents in the past. It has been called “one of most accurate chronicles of life under Islamic State rule.”

The group says it has monitored the deaths of several children with Down Syndrome and congenital deformities. They learned of an “Oral Fatwa” issued by the sharia board of the Islamic State authorizing its members to “kill newborn babies with Down’s [sic] Syndrome and congenital deformities and disabled children.”

FATWA AGAINST SNOWMEN!!!

A prominent Saudi Arabian cleric has issued a fatwa banning the
building of snowmen, following rare snowfall in the conservative Muslim
kingdom.
The religious order was issued by Sheikh Mohammed Saleh al-Munajjid, a
former diplomat at the Saudi embassy in Washington, who said the
practice was anti-Islamic.
"Munajjid argued that to build a snowman was to create an image of a
human being, an action considered sinful under the kingdom's strict
interpretation of Sunni Islam,"

It is a pretty funny thing, these all incidents with burkas all over the Europe.
For some reason, there is "tolerance" in Europe, but it only works in one way. We are being intolerate to muslims, because our womens do not wear burkas on the streets.
They show their faces to others, same with bodies, because in our culture, this is a common thing.

But they are not intolerate, for not respecting our habits and traditions. We need to conform to them for some reason, but if they have traveled here, then why we should do this, instead of them?

Im afraid that immigrant crisis will only make things worse from now on, anyway I really hope that we will see some solution from the EU parliament.

I won't be bothered if they are stupid and staying in their own nations. But the problem is that in addition to being stupid, they are prone to commit terrorist attacks, and that too in non-Muslim nations. Perhaps the only solution is to round up all of them, and then dump somewhere in the desert.

FATWA BANNING ALL YOU CAN EAT BUFFETS

“All You Can Eat” offers are pretty common in fast food chains in countries like Saudi Arabia and the UAE. So why not spoil everyone’s fun (and appetite) by issuing a fatwa to prohibit the Western marketing ploys?

“Whoever enters the buffet and eats for 10 or 50 riyals without deciding the quantity they will eat is violating Sharia (Islamic) law,” claimed Saleh al-Fawzan, a Saudi cleric.

I've seen the news when they destroyed the Bamiyan Buddhas, just terrible. They're doing all this to remove all traces of these countries pre-Islamic past. Heck, they even bombed the Borobudur.

Quite frankly, they need to do that. Save for that fuckin pile of sand called the Arabian peninsula, every "Islamic" nation you can think of today used to be populated by people following religions that are still alive (Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, etc). These monuments are reminders that prior to their conquest, people there hold on to a different faith. That prior to Islamic and Arab supremacism, those kuffar "minorties" owned the land.

No wonder they keep bombing the Copts in Egypt, they are basically the true heirs of Egypt. Their language is even closer to (and what was used to decipher) the language used in the hieroglyphs.

I'm not religious, but doesn't every individual fill in their 'purpose' of religion? I understand (and yes, I do see this as well) that men are dictating how these women should live their every day life, such as wearing a burka.

Do these women see wearing a burka as part of 'who they are and what they believe in'. Like without any men around, would they still wear it?

I dont think burkas, burkinis or hijabs etc are madated at all in islam, its more of a tribal practice that has gotten muddled with the actual religion. 
Whatever the case, the practice is discriminatory towards females, where is the law for men to cover up everything?

On this subject I find this interesting article.

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/world/saudi-cleric-burqas-babies-article-1.1255335

 A Saudi sheikh has issued a fatwa calling for female babies to wear burqas.

Sheikh Abdullah Daoud, who is not affiliated with the government of Saudi Arabia, made his controversial edict during an interview on the Islamic al-Majd TV that aired six months ago but recently went viral on social networking sites.

According to Daoud, dressing infants and children in the traditional Muslim veils would reduce the sexual molestation of minors, though the cleric did not cite any evidence for his view.

Sheikh Mohammad al-Jzlana, a former judge at the Saudi Board of Grievances, told al-Majd TV that the fatwa was “denigrating to Islam and Shariah and made Islam look bad.”

On Twitter, where the story gained media traction, the response to the idea of covering up baby girls has been almost universally negative.

“It seems there's no shortage of moronic Saudi Mullahs churning out absurd Fatwa's,” Munir Khan, a self-described “Brit Asian of Pakistani heritage,” wrote on Twitter.

Women in Saudi Arabia are required by law to wear the burqa when going out in public. Before girls enter puberty, however, they generally abstain from doing so.

While the Quran dictates that women “draw their outer garments close around themselves” so as to promote modesty, religious scholars disagree on whether a burqa is a compulsory part of Islam.
