Re: Swimmers offend melbourne Muslims
Do you work for the Government by any chance? You put so much spin into the thread title you must do :rofl:
The Dandenong City Council and the YMCA applied for the ban to be implemented during swimming lessons for Muslim women scheduled for next August.... It will apply to both Muslims and non-Muslims attending the event. The vice-president of the Victorian Islamic Council, Sherene Hassan, says she does not support the restrictions. "I basically believe that individuals have the right to wear whatever they'd like to wear," she said. Helen Szoke says the restrictions apply to a two-hour, after hours swimming session, targeted at multi-faith groups |

:thumbdown: http://au.news.yahoo.com/a/-/local/7...im-pool-event/ However, your headline isn't quite accurate, is it? From the article (my emphasis) banned people exposing their shoulders and thighs at an event at a public swimming pool in Dandenong, in Melbourne's south-east. The vice-president of the Victorian Islamic Council, Sherene Hassan, says she does not support the restrictions. "I basically believe that individuals have the right to wear whatever they'd like to wear," she said Victoria's Equal Opportunities Commissioner says the ban must be put into perspective. Helen Szoke says the restrictions apply to a two-hour, after hours swimming session, targeted at multi-faith groups. "People are not obliged to attend, minimum standards of dress are very common and where minimum standards of dress are identified on occasions it's often to allow people to participate," she said. |

However, your headline isn't quite accurate, is it? From the article (my emphasis) Its on a par with Councils and organisations in the UK "banning" Christmas decorations because of some imaginary and non-existant objection from non-Christian faiths |
