No, but I don't expect to see a Muslim wearing a bikini. That's
not common at all, except in Turkey, Syria, Lebanon and maybe in a few countries more (that is, exceptions to the rule). But maybe you see a lot of Muslim girls with bikini every day and that's why you're so surprised for what I wrote.

As another example: the U.S. Miss Universe contestant is Muslim and posed with her back bare (as opposed to her front, like some of the contestants), saying that she wasn't going to show her breasts in deference to Muslim sensibilities: “For me, I like to do the back,” she said. “I didn't want to do the front for many reasons, and one of them being in respect, I'm Arab, I'm Muslim, and I didn't want to disappoint many people.” So, she probably has her own rules and ideas about what she feels comfortable doing, regardless what certain Muslim groups feel: Miss USA 2010: Rima Fakih from Michigan becomes first Muslim woman to win | Mail Online

Yes, and you forgot the
Reverse Burka, which is very popular too. OK, so you just put some exceptions and the problem is solved, isn't it? Good.

Also, Zaqarbal, I never thought there might be an association between being atheist like me and feeling comfortable with public nudity! Hmmm....maybe if I start emphasizing a connection between atheism and nudity, we atheists will get a lot more converts.

No, what I meant is that being Muslim and posing with bikini is highly improbable in Egypt. Keywords:
IMPROBABLE and
EGYPT. But maybe I'm wrong and Donia Hamed is a very good Muslim. And maybe she drinks wine and eats ham too, because she "interprets" Koran in a modern liberal way... Or maybe she makes "liberal interpretations" selectively, like
alcohol and ham no, nudity yes. After all, the opposite thing exists already:
Honestly, I will never understand that politically correct naivety some trendy lefties have when it comes to Islam.
