The anti-immigration mayor of a northern Italian city has barred Muslim women from wearing the controversial body-concealing swimsuit known as a burqini, an Italian newsagency has reported.
Women wearing the garment made up of a veil, a tunic and loose leggings face a fine of 500 euros ($850) if spotted at swimming pools or riversides in the northern Piedmont town of Varallo Sesia, the ANSA news agency said.
"The sight of a 'masked woman' could disturb small children, not to mention problems of hygiene," mayor Gianluca Buonanno was quoted as saying.
Burqini ban: 'respect our choice'
Aussie burqini inventor says she was not surprised that a French woman was banned from her local swimming pool for wearing a full-cover swimsuit.
"We don't have to be tolerant all the time."
Justifying the move, Buonanno added: "Imagine a Western woman bathing in a bikini in a Muslim country. The consequences could be decapitation, prison or deportation. We are merely prohibiting the use of the burqini".
Last week, a swimming pool in Paris refused entry to a burqini-clad Muslim on similar grounds, adding to tensions over Muslim dress in France.
The incident came as French MPs conducted hearings on whether to ban the burqa after President Nicolas Sarkozy said the head-to-toe body covering and veil was "not welcome" in France, home to Europe's biggest Muslim minority.
Buonanno belongs to Italy's Northern League, a party allied with the centre-right People of Freedom led by Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi.
It has backed several initiatives hostile to Muslims.
Yeah - In an age of Fundamentalism - *THIS* shit is what we want happening - coz it's gonna make the terrorists SO much more friendly to us.Oy vey.............

And so, the insanity continues.
God bless the reactionists and their lack of understanding and consideration.
Its these people who make me interested in involuntary euthanasia.
This may seem slightly off subject but in the same week as this story broke, Alton Towers a UK Theme park decided to ban men wearing speedo type swimwear, stating things like "to prevent unsightly hair from being on display" & "the style itself is not deemed public or family friendly" i always thought they may as well have just put out a statement saying, 'if you are young slim and attractive your ok. any hairy fatties will disgust us so please come in a full body suit and cover yourself up.
Who are these people ? they are always faceless arn't they ?. Where are their names and addresses ?.
What is wrong with those crazy bastards? Let them wear what they want for Christ's sake!
