No Burquini, No Bathing: British Pools Impose Muslim Dress Codes on All Swimmers

Sunday, August 16, 2009

British swimming pools have begun hosting special Muslim swim sessions during which swimmers — including non-Muslims — are banned from entering the pool if their swimming attire doesn't comply with dress code required by Islamic custom.

Under the rules, men must be covered from the naval to the knees, while women, who swim separately, must be covered from the neck to the ankles, according to the U.K.'s Daily Telegraph newspaper.

The special sessions in Britain have elicited anger from critics who say they are divisive and put a strain on relations between Muslims and non-Muslims, the Telegraph reported.

The trend counters developments in France, where a woman has threatened to sue after being told she could not wear her "burquini" — a headscarf, tunic and trouser swimsuit worn by Muslim women – on hygiene grounds, the paper reported.

One British lawmaker defended the Muslim swim sessions, telling the Telegraph that they show an appreciation for certain religious groups, like Muslims, who have strict rules on segregation for activities including sports.

The Brits really seem to go out of their way to accommodate this religion. I have nothing against Muslims...almost, but Id hope no ones freedoms were stepped over to accommodate the burguini.

Why not just let her wear the burquni and me wear what I want?
More importantly I'm a Pegan. I want my rights recognized so I can swim Neeeckiid!

I'm sure their "rights" will be argued for by the ACLU soon enough. Lord knows they don't help the Christians here, but they always seem to support everybody else.

I think that 2008xb12scg has a good point!

What if a religion was just the opposite - and everyone who wanted to take swim lessons at a certain time were NOT permitted to wear ANY clothes? How would THAT go over I wonder?

Guess they'd better schedule some time between the Muslim lessons and the Pagan lessons. Wouldn't want any overlap there...
