REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, Foto viral yang menggambarkan polisi Kota Nice memerintahkan wanita muslim menanggalkan pakaian renang syar'i-nya akhir pekan lalu menimbulkan pro-kontra. Polisi bersikukuh pakaian tersebut melanggar peraturan setempat, dan wanita tersebut harus membayar denda.
Unjukrasa di depan kedubes Perancis di London, berbagai komentar miring terhadap pemerintah Perancis bermunculan. Mendagri Perancis menganggapa 'perda' tidak memperbaiki ketegangan hubungan dengan komunitas muslim. Pengadilan tertinggi Perancis pun mencabut aturan tersebut namun alas, polisi dan pemerintah Kota Nice bergeming.
Burkini berasal dari kata burqa dan bikini, menggambarkan pakaian renang bagi wanita muslim yang menutupi hampir seluruh bagian tubuhnya kecuali bagian wajah dan lengan. Di tanah air, pakaian ini dikenal dengan sebutan "swimpack syar'i". Dan banyak ditemui di tempat wisata air.
Di Australia, negeri di mana muslim menjadi minoritas, pakaian ini lazim digunakan oleh wanita muslim di kolam renang. Seorang desainer pakaian wanita muslim di sana ikut merancang burkini ini. Sampai kapan polemik burkini ini akan terus terjadi?
