Regarding what? The burquinini? Don't care? Indifferent? 80 years ago most Western women would have not worn skimpy swimsuits on the beach.

Women are always victems of patriarchal societies. This is one example of it. The problem isn't what they wear, but why they are told to wear it.

In other words, the problem isn't muslims, but islam.

Do you know what a social construction is? We are who we were created to be by those around us with influence on us. Very few people are able to totally reject their conditioning. I am an atheist, classical liberal with an authority problem because my dad is. I value the lives of others because my society does. I am a product of my family, my country, my culture and all the ideologies contained in such. I also believe that my way of life, and my way of understanding the world are superior to all others (as does everybody else).

We need not be concerned with what some musilm woman wears. It is her choice, and she is free to believe that she has the freedom to choose it. This woman can choose what she wants. But her point of reference for the choice, islam, is a barbaric and backwards philosophical pimple that needs to be popped. I'm not going to say that because she chose it, the basis of her choice is acceptable. I won't tell her what to wear, but I will tell her that her reasons for wearing it are laughably absurd.

We (meaning, those of us who value human life and believe the sexes to be of equal value) must criticize those constructions that slap the face of human dignity.

The problem isn't that I have a blind spot. The problem is that you are just not there enough to grasp the larger issues.

That is a nice try to cherry-pick and criticize me due to the chip on your shoulder to me, but once again highlights your total inability to build a sense of proportion. You do not have a sense of proportion.

The actions of this one woman are completely inconsequential to the larger, historical struggle between islam and it's neighbors. If I posted how an imam told muslims to out-breed Australians (as one did, today) you would reply that that is just one man, and he doesn't represent the entire community, those an imam is by definition a community leader.

Well, this woman is just one woman, not a community leader, and she doesn't represent the entire community. In fact, she is so far gone from mainstream muslim culture the world over, that pointing to this as evidence of large-scale assimilation is bizarre. Add to this that she is still wearing the symbol of patriarchal muslim oppression, and I'm none to impressed at all.

So, yeah, I guess that she doesn't want to kill her kuffar peers and is willing to go to the beach in a plastic burqa and actually try to save them is great news. Or, maybe the real newsstory is that this is a story at all. That this tiny act of "assimilation" is so unusual that it had to printed all over the world.

Though, what if a man needed mouth-to-mouth?

YES. We don't tolerate that which is intolerable. That, is leading by example. Saying that some things are wrong always. Being little multicult wimps isn't leading by example. It is an invitation to impose yourself on us.
