You can swim - only if you dress as a Muslim
This is one out of the " I don't believe it " locker , just how low can a person or organization crawl, this lot could crawl under the belly of a snake.
What is the point of this ruling, there can only be one motivation and that is to appease , and to put it bluntly, suck up to Muslims.
Why are Muslim rules being forced upon non Muslim people, I will tell you why, there appears to be an unwritten law that states " whatever the Muslim wants the Muslim gets, this is irrespective of the prevailing culture in the UK, this is irrespective of what the people who pay the taxes, that pay for the building of community swimming pools want.
If the Muslim is so offended by the sight of a partially clothed Kufr male or female then leave the country.
Incidentally, you will find that Muslim males are not averse to drooling over top shelf magazines, visiting strip clubs or seeking out ladies of the night, indeed many Muslim males actually target the "white" female, they do this for:-
A) for arm candy ( status amongst other Muslim males)
B) to practice with before they marry a Muslim girl ( Ladies take note - this is true)
The people should boycott all community pools where this rule has been imposed upon non Muslim people.
We in the UK should also insist that Muslim men and women do NOT wear their ridiculous Islamic attire anywhere in public as it is truly offensive .
I note Douglas Murray's comment in the article below - he has obviously lost his bottle, not long until he is in the Mosque
But across the UK municipal pools are holding swimming sessions specifically aimed at Muslims, in some case imposing strict dress codes.
Croydon council in south London runs separate one-and-a half-hour swimming sessions for Muslim men and women every Saturday and Sunday at Thornton Heath Leisure Centre.
Swimmers were told last week on the centre's website that "during special Muslim sessions male costumes must cover the body from the navel to the knee and females must be covered from the neck to the ankles and wrists".
There are similar rules at S****horpe Leisure Centre, in North Lincolnshire, where "users must follow the required dress code for this session (T-shirts and shorts/leggings that cover below the knee)".
In Glasgow, a men-only swimming session is organised by a local mosque group at North Woodside Leisure Centre, at which swimmers must be covered from navel to knee.
At a women-only class organised by a Muslim teacher at Blackbird Leys Swimming Pool, Oxford, to encourage Muslim women to learn to swim, most participants wear "modest" outfits although normal costumes are permitted.
The dress codes have provoked an angry reaction among critics who say they encourage division and resentment between Muslims and non-Muslims, putting strain on social cohesion.
Ian Cawsey, the Labour MP for the North Lincolnshire constituency of Brigg and Goole, said: "Of course swimming pools have basic codes of dress but it should not go beyond that.
"I don't think that in a local authority pool I should have to wear a particular type of clothes for the benefit of someone else. That's not integration or cohesion."
Labour MP Anne Cryer, whose Keighley, West Yorkshire constituency has a large number of Muslims, said: "Unfortunately this kind of thing has a negative impact on community relations.
"It's seen as yet another demand for special treatment. I can't see why special clothing is needed for what is a single-sex session."
Muslim swimming sessions are also held at a number of state schools around the country. At Loxford School in Ilford, east London, a local Muslim group organises weekly sessions for Muslim men, with the warning that "it is compulsory for the body to be covered between the navel and the knees.
"Anyone not adhering to the dress code or rules within the pool will not be allowed to swim".
The practice of holding special Muslim swimming sessions has led to non-Muslims being turned away.
David Toube, 39 and his five year old son Harry were last year refused entry to Clissold Leisure Centre, in Hackney, east London, after being told the Sunday morning swimming session was for Muslim men only.
Council officials later said staff had made a mistake and both Mr Toube, a corporate lawyer, and his son should have been admitted.
After discovering the rules at Thornton Heath one Croydon resident, 34-year-old Alex Craig, said: "I think it is preposterous that a council should be encouraging this type of segregation over municipal facilities.
"Surely if Muslims want to swim then they should just turn up with their modest swimwear at the same time as everyone else."
Douglas Murray, director of the Centre for Social Cohesion, last night condemned the practice. He said: "This kind of thing is extremely divisive.
"Non-Muslims see these extremist demands as an example of Muslims wanting things to fit into their lifestyle, when there aren't similar things organised for Hindus, Buddhists or Jews.
"It also puts moderate Muslims in an awkward position as it suggests, wrongly, that they are not devout enough, simply because they choose not to cover themselves in a shroud in a pool."
A press officer at Croydon council, which introduced Muslim-only swimming in 2006, claimed that the wording on the website was a mistake and the dress code should be regarded as a suggestion rather than a requirement.
The website was late changed to remove the reference to the dress code.
However, an official at the leisure centre said the dress code remained compulsory.
Sadly the reality of what is actually happening is lost on the willing idiots in local authorities The Stealth Jihad of Hijra- Muslim Immigration- Exposed. (thank you DP111)
We or should I say they are facilitating the slow but inexorable erosion of our lifestyle and culture, I cannot for the sake of me understand why these idiots in local and national government do not appear to see what is happening.
Just what do they think they are achieving by this ridiculous infatuation with ensuring that Islam prospers in the UK
