CREEPING SHARIA: How Muslim model Halima Aden’s Sports Illustrated burkini pics ‘changed lives.’
Halima Aden knew she would make history as the first Muslim model to grace the pages of Sports Illustrated’s swimsuit edition wearing a hijab and burkini, but she didn’t think she would change lives.
“I was hoping it would be perceived well but I’ve just been blown away,” the model told AAP.
“When you hear young girls telling you you’ve changed their entire life and they’re going out swimming, trying out these things they thought weren’t for them, I can’t help but feel really proud.”
“You can take your sexual oppression to the beach!” doesn’t seem like a very positive message.
