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.”
