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.”
