Effort to accommodate Muslim women's modesty spurs debate
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 Posted by: anonymous2u 2006-06-14 |
