The latest in Islamic swimwear

This swimwear line, which is no joke, reminds me of an old In Living Color sketch, wherein Islamist swimsuit models wore bikinis over their burkhas. And, while I can appreciate the earnest desire of conservative Muslim women to find appropriate beachwear, I can't help but think that swimsuits are one aspect of human existence that shouldn't be legislated by religion.
