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)
sure, it starts off this way --
first they want headscarves...then they want loudspeakers broadcasting prayers...then they want pools...they want this...they want that...next they want their own country and they will fight (women and children) to get it.
When will people understand that Islam is not compatible with civilized society?
TWO WOMAN BATHE FULL-CLOTHED, LIFEGUARD MAKES THEM LEAVE (Muslims Demand Segregated Swimming Pools)
Muslims bathe ? Im set aback by this statement i was under the impression that they werent allowed to bathe clothes on or off.
And if they do why dont they bathe in a Bathtub ? swimming pools are made for swimming ! not Bathing
I never knew that. . .and I never thought about it either.
As for the socialism's effect on the brain, we know, 'serf's are not supposed to think!. . .
The goal of socialism is communism. V.I. Lenin
We can soon expect such demands from the "messengers of peace" here in the United States. Sooner if Kerry is elected, later regardless of who is elected.
Just yesterday in Canada, our neighbors up north passed laws giving Islamic imams immediate authority over Muslim women - (yes, authortiy) which PREEMPTS CANADIAN LAW in matters regarding Islamic customs.
(Also in Canada, it is against the law for a minister to preach against homosexuality from the pulpit.)
" to accompany their children as they were bathing."
BATHING ? Is this just a definition thing with Italians?
My goodness... Women fully clothed, children bathing, no wonder they were kicked out of the pool.
Just damn.

Close the commons.
They actually did it, then. Sh*t. Those poor women.
And I understand that there is now 5x daily muezzin calling in Hamtramck,(sp) Michigan. Da*n.
It'd be nice to "accidentally" stumble across this gentleman's e-mail address.
And by "gentleman," I mean "jerk who needs to be reminded of the freedom of property rights."
You have a great idea and I wish we would implement in the USA.
"but at the same time have asked for women only pools as there are in Muslim countries"
I suggest returning to those countries or building your own pools within your mosques..
If the whole country was aware of things like this and how the liberal dems cater to them, we would have a lot more votes for Bush.
Is the barracks door closed, LOL??
I got to this group via this page, which came from this query.
To make a long story even longer, I think you can definitely e-mail the webmaster (wmaster_ucoii@hotmail.com), but I'm not sure he knows much of anything. Any Freepers out there speak Italiano that can hunt through the top website for our new "buddy?"
Open the fire hoses!
