Sharia Law coming to swimming pools in Australia

Is there any country in the world that doesn't pamper to muslim's?

Also 15 yrs ago I swear people weren't calling them "Muslims" as a generic-term, they were "Arabs", "indian's", "Saudi's", "iraqi's" "Turks" etc etc etc.

Why has the media/society now scoop them all up and call them all "muslims"?

I'm British, not European or "Christian"... I don't get it, the Asian/Middle Eastern world is full of different cultures and religions, yet why are they all called "muslims"....

Can't believe people are missing what is the funniest post in this thread?

Oxy, since when do all arabs, indians, saudis, iraqis, turks belong to islam? Your lack of education on this topic is hilarious, you think the word "muslim" is a grouping of people that are brown? LMAO. Media/society has not scooped them up and decided to call them muslims, how ridiculous to think so, go back to school kid.
 
Well...this is something new. Why not just make a separate swimming pool where Muslims can only go? That way everyone is happy, or are they not?

This! I don't name names when its pretty obvious anyway.

But if you want me to name names then sure, here's one:

Robbie G in kneejerk reaction to a Khaaan! post! *gasps*

Probably going to call me a Chrome/Firefox/Android fanboy next in another thread.

Oh wait, he has :p

No doubt PardonTheWait will dip into that thread and name it a personal attack also :p.

And you can't really name me, as you posted your cryptic non-point before I posted in this thread ;). You're right to say it's obvious who you were referring to, but you still didn't really say anything.

Stopping families dressing like they would at any other swimming pool, just cause it's Ramadan which is a fictitious made up event based on nothing real, is ridiculous.

Indeed, I feel VCAT should invite some semi-nude FHM models and serve bacon butties instead ... with some proper Aussie beer

Wow, that's really funny! It's not often that an original, hilariously funny joke can be read on the internet that hasn't been repeated, ad nauseum, a million times before.

VCAT should provide an authentic Aussie experience

Not really. This is a municipal pool not a private gathering?

This is an out of hours event, its no different to a fancy restaurant not letting you in if you aren't wearing a tie, or a public house not letting you in wearing trainers or (Building site) work clothes. There are restrictions on clothing everywhere in every aspect of society, stretching from school uniforms to wearing suits in a place of work.

Seriously what is the big deal about covering up in a swimming pool, are you worried that today its 2 hours in a swimming pool, tomorrow we are all forced to go to Mosque?

Did you miss my post where I pointed out who VCAT are? Do you realise the absurdity of saying that they should provide any sort of experience? They are not in the business of providing experiences. In this case, all they have done is authorise the provision of a given experience.

Can you not see the difference between school uniforms, where the dress is standard each day for everyone, and this situation?

The point is, normal dress for the pool has been changed.

Yes black tie events require a certain dress code, but the dress code from one black tie event to the next has not been changed to accommodate a certain group of people.

This is the problem I have with it. No, I am not scared we will be forced to go to a Mosque. In any case I wouldn't mind that one bit, as I would spend all my time figuring out how the human race managed to be suckered into the greatest con going - religion.

Let's all spend a month not eating or having sex until it's dark just because there was apparently some divine prophet centuries ago. I MEAN COME ON PEOPLE! All that time and energy could be spent on making the world a better place.

Strong white knight / wannabe mod complex there. You're one of those people that tries to turn any comment into a personal attack, quite pathetic really.

Yeah that's totally me, nailed it. Teacher's pet.

You were completely right about Khaaan too, what he said was completely cryptic and made no sense at all, and everyone calling this pathetic are totally right and not kneejerk bigots at all.

Apologies. I should not have tussled with your superior intellect.
 
I assume people are missing the point that this wasn't even thought up by Muslims and in fact they seem to disagree with the whole idea?

Can a Don an this quote to the OP because oddly enough he decided to refraid from adding it.

Sherene Hassan, vice-president of the Islamic Society of Victoria, said she didn't support the dress restrictions.

"My preference would be that no dress code is stipulated," Ms Hassan said.
