I have expressed no hatred of Muslims. I have expressed hatred of values that place the virtue of modesty, an extreme form of it, above all others including the sanctity of life.
And I am not ashamed that I don't find that funny. Here, laugh your head off:

"In a rare criticism of the kingdom's powerful "mutaween" police, the Saudi media has accused them of hindering attempts to save 15 girls who died in the fire on Monday.
About 800 pupils were inside the school in the holy city of Mecca when the tragedy occurred.
According to the al-Eqtisadiah daily, firemen confronted police after they tried to keep the girls inside because they were not wearing the headscarves and abayas (black robes) required by the kingdom's strict interpretation of Islam.
One witness said he saw three policemen "beating young girls to prevent them from leaving the school because they were not wearing the abaya".

Thanks so much for directing the thread to a topic not at hand.
We were talking about Muslim women swimming, for goodness' sake! I lived in a Muslim country for several years, I know all about it, thanks!
I don't find the heinous behavior you cite funny at all, but that was not what we were discussing. So sorry you missed the point!
