Amazon store forced to remove ‘disgusting’ costumes which turn traditional Muslim Burkas into skimpy party dress

-


A sexy Burka costume with a plunging neckline that reveals cleavage that was advertised on Amazon has been taken down by the online store after it prompted furious comments from Muslims who branded it 'disgusting' and 'racist'.


The dress complete with a face veil and modelled by a white Caucasian woman, could be bought for just under £20 and was described on Amazon as a “sexy Saudi burka Islamic costume” with “a lovely soft stretch material”.
Besides the sexy Burka costume was another advert of clothing that showed “Arab” costumes modelled by white men wearing make-up.


Amazon users blasted the website, branding them racists, one user said; “You’re all disgusting racists. My culture is not your costume.”
While another user said: “A person’s culture is NOT a fancy dress costume,” and one more added: “Is this some sort of mockery to the religion.”
Another user said: “Whoever you are fear Allah. It’s not a joke.”
A spokesman for the online store said: “All Marketplace sellers must follow our selling guidelines and those who don’t will be subject to action including potential removal of their account.
“The product in question is no longer available.”

Following the backlash that trailed her performance at Shatta Wale's Reign Concert over the weekend, Ghanaian singer,  Fantana  has now released a statement.  The singer stated that she is not ashamed of being a woman and also mesntruating. Her statement read in part;  "Regardless of my costume being transparent, my only option was to put on a sanitary pad and still go ahead to perform. I am a woman and I’m not ashamed of menstruating. "I want to urge every woman to resist being discriminated against because of menstruation. I hope some people read wide and learn about menstrual health to stop the stereotype against young girls and women. "Yes my menses appeared 30 minutes to my performance and I had to put on a sanitary pad and still go on stage. "Menstruation is not a shame and I urge all young women take a cue from my actions and not to let it stop them from doing anything they want to do."
