ISLAM: TWO WOMAN BATHE FULL-CLOTHED,LIFEGUARD MAKES THEM LEAVE
(AGI) - Bolzano, Italy, 7 September - Two Muslim women went into a swimming pool fully clothed - wearing a tunic and the veil as their religion demands - to accompany their children as they were bathing. Other swimmers protested to the lifeguard who immediately asked them to get out of the water. This took place at the Lido di Bolzano.
The Council has spoken about 'respect for the rules' and 'health reasons'. The leaders of the Muslim community in Bolzano understand the ban on swimming in a chador, but at the same time have asked for women only pools as there are in Muslim countries.
The two women, accompanied to Bolzano's lido by their children and a man, after having taken the sun while dressed, wanted to refresh themselves. They approached the pool, to follow their children, entered the water and then faced the 'revolt' of a large number of bathers.
"Things like that should no longer happen. There is a rule. One cannot get into the pool while clothed, but only in a swimming costume - argued Giustina Marinucci, Bolzano Council's director of sport. "I respect the Muslim religion, but they need to adapt, as we do when we enter their mosques. There are hygienic reasons for the ban on entering a pool while dressed."
Aboulkheir Breigheche, the head of the Muslim community said: "In Italy it may be necessary to create pools just for men and just for women. They are free not to respect Islam, but the religion permits bathing just in costume only if there are just women present." (AGI)
Who wants all her stank and funk in the pool??? Down here it's courteous (required in some pools) to take a quick soap and shower before getting in the pool.
Pretty crude Islamic wisdom there.

I have waded through the HTML basic course, before.
Unfortunately, my tech skills are on a par with those of Algore, i.e. "The man who invented the World Wide Wibe."
Oh, that was Tim Berners-Lee?
My bad.
I actually failed a course entitled-and I kid you not-Introduction To The Internet.
I did pretty well on the exams-considering the fact that I almost never showed up to class-but crashed and burned when it came time to actually create my own web-page.
Yes, you heard me correctly.
Web-page.
PAGE!!!
I know, I need to read one of those "HTML For Imbeciles" books.
It'll happen.
A friend of mine is working in Iraq. He says homosexuality is pretty much standard for unmarried Arab men.
My 13-year-old has "HTML for Dummies." She's made a web page!
Is it against the law for an Imam to preach against homosexuality if it violates Islamic customs?
That's a good question.
Concerning that, talk to someone who has stayed any time at all in the Middle East about how widespread homosexuality is among Allah's holy warriors.
