what's the big deal ?

it's normal at a swimming pool for hours to be allocated. since i go regularly, i see all sorts of groups given access to the public pool, including the Navy (now they are assholes, it's a trick informing some Navy guys that think they own the pool that they are about to share lanes.)

it's normal for Muslim women to not want to show their bodies to men. it's sort of prudish, kind of old-fashioned - American women used to cover their bodies also.

what if it was Christian women who wanted to remain modest while exercising, and not show their bodies to all the guys ?

If your religion excludes you from certain activities in public, that is the choice you made.

Dress according to your beliefs instead of imposing those beliefs on others. Not a lot to ask. Funny thing is, that is not the mindset.

Look at what happened in France when a group of muslims wanted to pray (in the streets stopping traffic, and preventing people from entering their homes mind you).

Kind of sad they "don't know" about the above link, but I can bet for certain they do (took me all of 10 seconds to find it).

Do the math.
