Title: The establishment elitists gives special gym hours to Muslim women
Post by: RationalThought110 on March 11, 2008, 02:54:43 PM

Anyone hear about how Harvard is going to ban people from their gym during certain times because the Muslim women want to use it and they don't want others there. 

There was a debate about it yesterday on an early news show on NBC.

There is no denying that this is very troubling news... What are the Muslim women going to demand next? That supermarkets be closed down to "normal" shoppers at special times so that Muslim women can have the stores all to themselves? Where is this going? Where will this end? I'd like to see The Great Chaim walk into that Harvard gym while the Muslim women are in there, bet ya that The Great Chaim would have a few choice words for the "ladies" in the gym.... The Great Chaim would show 'em what a "work out" really is... He'd have 'em running laps around the gym until dawn...

They should give special hours to women period, not based on religion, since it is immodest for men to look at women they way they dress to work out.

in a secular institution they should have both options, in Israel there should certainly be separate classes regardless
