Harvard gym tests Muslim women-only hours

The new look in gym wear?

Harvard University has banned men from one of its gyms for a few hours a week, a move to accommodate Muslim women who, for religious and cultural reasons, cannot exercise comfortably in their presence.

The policy is already unpopular with many on campus, however, including some women who consider it sexist.

“I think that it’s incorrect in a college setting to institute a policy in which half of the campus gets wronged or denied a resource that’s supposed to be for everyone,” said student Lucy Caldwell, who also wrote a column in The Harvard Crimson newspaper critical of the new hours. Student Ola Aljawhary, who is Muslim and works out elsewhere on campus but is not one of the women who requested the change, rejected that argument.

“The majority should be willing to compromise,” she said. “I think that’s just basic courtesy. ” “We get special requests from religious groups all the time and we try to honor them whenever possible,” he said, noting that the school has designated spaces for Muslim and Hindu students to pray. The special hours allow the Muslim women, who adhere to traditional dress codes by covering their hair and most of their skin while in public, to dress more appropriately for exercising, said Susan Marine, director of the women’s center.

Is this how we are to assimilate into the Muslim community?
Where Muslims are the majority, are they willing to compromise?

Giving special places to pray is very different from shutting down public facilities for a few people on an extremely limited schedule. You know everybody is going to want prime time. If they really want to do something they should make special facilities for them to use on their own schedule, and let everyone else continue to exercise on their own schedules in the current facility as they have all along. Now then, who pays for all of this?

Fuck that! They (the ragheads in question) should MAKE THEIR OWN facilities!!
If they don't want to feel discriminated against then they should put themselves into places and positions where this will occur, like schools, shopping malls, etc.
Stay the fuck home and shut the fuck up.
We never asked you to come here, you WANTED to, so bearing that in mind YOU are the ones that need to conform to fit into a society that YOU chose to move into!

Fucking bastards! (and bitches, but you can never tell under to terrorist-tents they wear)

What do you mean 'next'??
They are already pushing it in the UK and the weak willed politically correct cunts they have as politicians are rolling over and letting them!

They should just FUCK OFF. They came to a new country out of their own free will, they chose to, they DON'T get to change their new home's laws to resenble the ones they fled from in the first place!!

The ignorance is great in this thread. And for once it isn't from Werz but from Zybch!

What if these women are American muslims? That is that they are born in America? What if some of these women are white muslims? That is converted to Islam? Which country will they go back to?

I don't really see a problem with this. It will only encourage more women to excercise without perverted men staring at them. It's only a few hours a week. People are just making a mountain out of a molehill to be honest.

And Zybch, an archbishop in the UK was a stupid cunt and suggested that Sharia law should be introduced to the UK. Then everybody in the UK came down on him like a ton of bricks. I don't see how that is politicians rolling over and letting 'them.'

If you actually took time to read my post rather than get offended that I appear to be attacking brown people, you'd see I'm talking mainly about the UK.
I know Scottland has more than its fair share of irritating brown people...

This is just plain nonsense. If the muslims don't want to exercise in front of men then they should exercise at home. I don't want to exercise in front of Puerto Ricans. Can we shut down the gym for 45 minutes on Tuesdays and Thursdays around 4:00 to accomodate me, too? Please? Its part of my religion.

Fuck them ragheaded bitches. Go workout on the street like most of your sisters do. Suckie Fuckie Joe?? $10.

Look, America is America. It was America before your raghead ass and it will be America after your raghead ass. You don't like America? Your home country will take you back maybe. Maybe you will be shot or imprisoned also.

The way it is........America is for Americans. We don't want you fucks littering our shorelines. Your little fucking whores don't want to workout in our gyms because there are men there...maybe you should have checked into that before invading our country.

As for the bullshit about US born muslims. Yeah, they exist but they are not trying to change our way of life. It is the immigrant motherfuckers trying to change shit. Waaaaaah! My country sucked and yours isn't good enough. We have to change that.

Fuck all of you "muslim" immigrants. If your lifestyle was so great, why are you here?

Watch out yob, if one of em does a google search on super yob, you'll be sued as a racist red neck, and your PC courts will be on their side.
What the majority think and the law upholds are two different things.
A nigerian illegal immigrant was given a permit to stay and twenty thousand dollars here, because they didn't give him a drink in the back of the prison van, on his way to another immigration facility.
What a bunch of do gooder lawyers, paid by the state to sue the taxpayers, how the fuck
do you win.

No, they are not. When in Muslim countries, we must conform. When in secular countries, they still want it their way.

But this about Harvard. I don't go to Harvard, I didn't go to Harvard, none of my money is tied up in Harvard, so I don't give two fucks about what they decide to do. This is a problem that the students, alumni, and college officials will need to work out themselves.
