I have heard similar things , I guess what we need to know is be very careful in this situation.
I would still think I would try and save the woman , but Iam a big boy, many first aiders are women or elderly.
If the woman was killed later ,we have no control of such things, but then again, if the woman was in a survivable condition, and we removed her head covering and touched her to folow DRS ABCD guidelines, then we in effect may have put her life in future jeopardy.
It is truly a difficult subject?

well according to the gf and she is from the religious backround they do NOT have to wear it all the time the only thing they do doesnt cover the entire face just up the the side leaving just the face and natural beauty to be showen....so if their face is covered and to save their life you have to remove it then so be it have the man restrained and held back i would im not letting someone die on my watch and having to live with that on my mind because the other person felt they should die for their faith because they didnt want their face showed...
You'd see the woman killed by her husband for dishonoring the family. Why?
She let a non-muslim male touch her and see her face.
Oh it doesn't matter that she'd have died anyway... not when honor is at stake.

It's definitely overly complicated due to the nature of that elephant of a religion.
But I've just thought of something - it's very rare for a woman wearing a burqa to be in a public pool with males. Very very very rare, to the point, I've never heard of it.
Especially given the fact she was wearing a burqa - many times there have been pools closed for the day, so the muslim community can allow the females to go swimming in private, away from the eyes of the public, males especially..
Hmm.. I wonder if there is more to this than we're aware of?
The Burka woman was on a water slide.
