Exactly. It's the least used gym on the outskirts of campus and it's three days a week for two measly hours. Not a big deal. It's a mild inconvenience at best.
My concern though, is what's next? Separate locker rooms for women?

Darned Straight for furriners, I don't want my stuff in my locker smelling like curry.

I don't see that as being the same analogy. It would be more like if for several hours a day three times a week customer service lines in the U.S. only spoke Spanish. Guys don't have a choice at that gym.

If you think its a good thing that muslim are forced to act this way because of their men then that's your thing. I'm with Darla, I think it sucks.

Where did I say that Cawacko ?
Hardly. If there were no English speaking lines from the hours of X to Y maybe you'd have a point, but you don't. The gym is completely off limits to the guys for those times and that's not fair. And who is to say that that is where it will stop?

who is this in reference to?

all people.
We need to blend in together vs emphasizing our differences.
What happened to America being the great melting pot ?
Because this is where it starts. Why should anyone have to suffer even the mildest of inconveniences due to someone's religion particularly when its based in se xism?
This is where I have a problem. Why should we have to change our customs for any religion?

Like we have not done that already ?
Many changes in our laws because of religion already.
then there is the issue of where does religion end and custom begin ?
Is the no nudity rules in the exercise room a religious or a customs thing ?
The no booze stores next to churches a custom or religious thing ?

are no nudity or booze rules against only certain people or do they apply to all?

that is true, except I have never seen a noodle toddler arrested.
But it is still a cultural thing based on religion.
And sanitation.
Would you really want to sit down on a chair or seat if the person who sat it in before you was having some sort of herpes flare up?
I'm not saying that Islam shouldn't be treated as a religion, but, though I'm not a student of the religion, I doubt that stoning to death women, and forcing them to cover up and live in fear and lower their eyes, is a part of it. So what some people have perverted it into should not be respected as "religion" no.
I mean come on, if all of a sudden Muslims or Mormons or whoever started saying well it's against our religion to swim with black people, would we resegregate public pools? Fuck no, and no one on this board would claim we should.
But here, we're only talking about women.
