| Effort to accommodate Muslim women's modesty spurs debate |
| 2006-06-14 |
| Via Lucianne: Muslim women in the USA have been asking the public to accommodate their religious beliefs about modesty, a trend that some Muslims worry will provoke a backlash. In some recent examples: • In Lincoln Park, Mich., Fitness USA relented when Muslim women demanded that the gym wall off a co-ed aerobic center from their women-only section because men could see them working out. • In Bridgeview, Ill., a Muslim school says it wants its girls' basketball team to play road games against non-Muslim schools provided the public schools ban men and teenage boys from the game. (Screw that!) • In North Seattle, Wash., a public pool set up a swim time for Muslim women in which men, even male lifeguards, are banned. SNIP |

| #8 lol, Besoeker. That's why I frequent BBQ joints only...don't have to deal with the headaches. The mental image of a fat muslim kid munching on a McRib sandwich is priceless. I imagine Fred's got it stored up somewheres. |

| #6 God-based Communist women - what ever happened to that young Muslim babe whom was photo-oped wearing a bikini, or trying to, at a mostly Muslim beach next to her traditionalist Burqua-Shawl drabbed female relative [or other]??? |

| #5 I was in a McDonalds on Route 1 a few months ago and witnessed a muzzie socker-mom unleash her venim on the kid behind the counter. Evidently the young attendant had forgotten the catsup and pickles on the fat muzzie phuech kid's burgers. She screamed on and on. As I walked out I yelled back over my shoulder, "hey lady, next time try the pork BBQ, it's delicious!" |
