Great! I found this article about it...I don't know if it's been posted before as the one in Roswitha's post did not work
Islamic Hotels in Turkey
It is very very hard for a women who does not want to expose herself to find a place to swim.

Hmmmm Roswitha...I don't think swimming in a niqab would be very efficient....I saw a photo of a woman in a full burka and niqab surf boarding in the Gulf once...

This is a very well written article Roswitha....thank you for posting it. I'm going to repost the link as the one I found had to be copied and pasted into a browser to work...
'I felt more welcome in the Bible belt'
"It is at this point that I get a bit perplexed by what exactly the British public wants. On the one hand, they are always complaining about Muslims refusing to integrate and be part of the "mainstream" community. On the other hand, it's become painfully clear that when we do come out into the mainstream, we make them uncomfortable. Granted, my swimsuit may not blend in, but the refusal by people like Caldwell to allow Muslim women to create a middle ground of interaction in the UK forces them into the extremes.
The online debate has created in me a sense of fear, and as a result I have not been back to the gym in the past month, even after assurances from the general manager at David Lloyd's Oxford branch that his management team would do their best to ensure I had safe access. The general manager agreed with me that things had spiralled out of proportion, and after I showed him my swimsuit, not only stated that it met swimsuit standards, but that it was now being offered for purchase at all David Lloyd's clubs throughout the UK. But Caldwell's actions had the desired effect: I stayed at home."

Isn't it wonderful though, how this lady finally got her side of the story shown on one of the UK's largest and most read (non-tabloid) newspapers and with all her opinions of other people! There is one positive apect of freedom of speech.

Are you joking?!! It's disgusting. How many of these women, GIVEN A CHOICE, would choose to go swimming like this? More and more these days, people are less tolerant of muslim 'fanatics' as AK party remains in power. In fact, these burquas are banned in Turkey.

I think the unpleasant action involved a confused shark who saw this black figure floating in the ocean and thought he found a nice tasty lunch of seal!
I cannot imagine how hideous this must feel to be so completely covered and soaking wet with sand sticking all over. Not to mention, it doesn't seem to safe to be swimming in so much fabric!!

You would be surprised how many women actually CHOOSE to go swimming like this,because they CHOOSE to wear like this.

Turkish people you mean ?
Who are Muslims ?
So you mean Muslims become less torlent toward muslims,because of AKP which they have elected them by %47 'less or more' ?!!
Yes,im sure you are right !
Btw,burquas are banned in official places,not on the beaches unless you considered beaches to be official places too!

Clearly, it was an opinion. I can't say for a fact it's disgusting. I know ALL of my Turkish friends agree with me though. Their husbands would not allow them to show off their bodies and swim- this concept disgusts me.

I disagree. Why do they choose to wear these?... because of some deep rooted religious or cultural belief. It doesn't come from within directly, it comes from a culture.

It was my boyfriend who said burquas are banned. After clarification, they are indeed not forbidden but certainly frowned upon and gets a negative response. I guess they are the norm at these special hotel places.
As an Izmirli, yes, the Izmirians are very much against the AK party in general. I guess I made a sweeping statement. Actually, even though the AK party won the majority of votes in other cities, the people who voted for them are not all AK party supportes. Rather, they are afraid of what a change of government might bring in terms of the economy etc. They are voting whilst thinking of their future which is fair enough but harsh as Turkey struggles to be a secular country

This photo was posted on the site some months ago - there was speculation that the couple in front were two of our more popular members! Personally I think the lady in the burkini is actually not in there at all - she has left her husband holding a false arm and is swimming happily away out of shot in a tiny bikini.

Actually a LOT of them would choose to cover more than less. There are many women who do not go to the beach or to swimming pools because they feel exposed in normal "swimming suites", so they don't go.

Who would be kind enough and give me the English translation of this article?
"Türbanlılar evde çılgın dekolte giyiyor!!!" Türbanlı modacıdan şok itiraflar!!!
Türbanlı modacı Rabia Yalçın: "Dışarda gördüğüm türbanlıları evde tanıyamıyorum" diyor.
Geçen eylül ayında ABD'nin New York kentinde bir defileye imza atan türbanlı modacı Rabia Yalçın (41), moda hayatını AKŞAM'a anlattı. 11 yıldır tasarımcılık yapan Yalçın, "2008'te ‘Portakal Çiçeği' adıyla kendi mağazamı açacağım. Dünyada zincir oluşturmak istiyorum. Kendimi ‘deli bir sanatçı' olarak nitelendiriyorum. Tasarımlarımda zarafet ve renk uyumu var. Canlı renkler kullanmama rağmen sade bir görüntü elde ediyorum. Beni ön plana çıkartan kalite ve renkler. İnsan ayrımı da yapmıyorum. Amacım tüm kadınları giydirmek. Başı kapalı da, diğerleri de tasarımlarımdan alıyor. Zaten türbanlı kadının evdeki hali farklı. Dışarıda gördüğüm türbanlıları, ev ortamında tanıyamıyorum. Hepsi sırt ve göğüs dekolteli. Zaten iki gardıropları var. Biri ev, diğeri de dışarısı için. Hatta iç dünyalarında çılgın talepleri olabiliyor" dedi.
Yabancılar şık giyiniyor ikisi de sade ve güzel
İngİlİz Kraliyet Ailesi'ni giydirmeyi isteyen Rabia Yalçın, yurtdışından en çok Ãœrdün Kraliçesi Rania ile Suriye Devlet Başkanı Beşar Esad'ın eşi Esma'yı şık buluyor. First Lady'lerin duruşlarını ve kalıplarını gayet iyi bulan Yalçın, "Gençler... Duruşları sade ve güzel. Son derece kaliteli, renkleri birbirine uyumlu ve dikiş kalitesi yüksek kıyafetler seçiyorlar. Fakat aynı şeyi Hayrünnisa Gül ile Emine Erdoğan için söyleyemem. Daha iyi seçimler olabilir. Emine Erdoğan daha sade giyinmeli. Ama geçen yıllara göre bir ilerleme var" diye konuştu.
