Is Islamic Custom To Blame?

Was this death avoidable if not for Islamic custom?

Muslim woman strangled by her burkha in freak go-kart accident

A woman wearing a burkha (file photo). A Muslim woman has died after her burkha became caught in a go-kart she was driving. The 24-year-old woman, who has not yet been named, died a terrifying death today when a fluttering part of her burkha became caught in the wheels of a go-kart she was driving near the town of Port Stephens, north of Sydney...She was strangled in a second and crashed the vehicle.



But then again, there was this previous incident that had nothing to do with Islamic customs:

Her death is being likened to that of American dancer Isadora Duncan, acknowledged as being the creator of modern dance, and who was famous for the flowing silk carves she liked to wear.

But while riding in an open-top car in Nice in 1927, her scarf became entangled in one of the vehicle's spoked wheels and she was strangled.


But, on the other hand, what was a burkha-clad female doing out and having fun?
