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)
"I am about as liberal as it comes on immigration, but so help me, if it were up to me I would put a stop to immigration from Muslim countries."
Yeah, I hear you. I used to be very liberal on immigration too,I was a true open borders conservative. That ended approx. 3 years ago. Let's face it, either we end it all, have a moratorium is my suggestion, or we amend the constitution.
Which will be politically easier?
Horrid story tonight about the increasing assualts on the southern border. They are cracking down and folks are getting ucking fugly, if you know what I mean. They know the end of open borders is near, they know we will not deport anyone, anytime, for any reason.
It is time to put and end to the madness that brought us Mohammed Atta & Co. Sorry honest Mexicans, but that's the way the cookie crumbles.
pretty funny, but I'll bet that wearing this would get something important hacked off with a rusty spoon after some sort of mini-inquisition or other.
Find a pond.
***Actually there are plenty of people whom I would urge to wear more clothing in and around pools and the beach...***
One thing about it, you can tell who is NOT wearing a suicide explosive vest at today's pools!
I'm losing my patience for these interlopers.
Check out the web site where they sell these.

Now the big question, why were the Democrats for Saddam? Why are they protesting Bush and not protesting the men that keep women in such bondage? The answer, of course, is because they hate bush and nothing else matters.
I walk down parts of 5th Ave. and I feel like I've been transported to the friggin' Hijaz.
You have a point. If we are PCed to death it was because we let it happen. And in fact, worse than just letting it happen, many Europeans and Americans paved the road for the new Muslim invasions, and are currently paying many of them welfare/dole to live in the kafir countries.
Individual suicide is one thing, bringing on mass suicide is another....
They can find swimming in their burkas and moomoo's enjoyable back in their hell-hole countries of origin...
...on the other hand, if you've seen some of these Muslim women, you can easily see why their men REQUIRE them NOT to show their faces in public. (Sorry, couldn't resist!)
>> I thought I had outgrown my urge to pee in pools for over 4 decades.
LOL! Good one :))
Thanks for the ping!
Could this be related to French bathing habits? Is that why the Muslims are becoming so powerful in France? :-)
I work with this female person. Here is her story:
Father was a Baptist Minister. She abandonded his faith who knows when and married fairly young. She had 2 kids. Cheated on the husband (who likewise cheated) with anyone who crossed her path. Her attire was best described as slutwear. The company man-whore thought she was, well, a slut. After her divorce she went even more wild. Then she met a man from Pakistan. She converted to Islam. She's covered now. Wears long dresses and covers her hair. She still cusses like a sailor occassionally and refrains from the drink. She does cover her diamond stud in her nose. The employer is unnerved by her conversion but can not discriminate.
The kicker is that the Pakistani married her but only in an Islamic ceremony without a civil marriage license.
It is just too weird for words.
That's interesting. Recently an Imam in Spain was jailed for publishing a book on how to beat your wife correctly under sharia law.
Hint: The train.
Well, Orthodox Judaism requires the same, and I believe there are also some Evangelical Christian sects that require women to dress modestly. Not to forget Roman Catholic nuns.
Speaking of nuns, who else can remember the old days when you saw a woman in the street wearing a black robe and head covering and you knew that she must be a nun?
I was a small child in a Catholic school.
I have this image in my mind of Sally Field as the Flying Nun, swimming in a pool with her habit on.
Later, as angry crowds kick Sally out, "you don't like me, you really don't like me!"
