I'm with Paul NZ. If they want to build their own pools on their own land that's fine.

If these are to be public places then they can FUCK OFF.

I think the Muslims have learnt well from the Maoris.

**Paul in NZ** · 11th January 2007, 10:02

Piss off? Meh - yes and no... If we had buckets of $$ sloshing about no problems but the fact is the community cannot cater to every need of every minority. At least on the face of it... However, competitive swimmers are catered for (occasionally) in public pools to the detriment of casual swimmers so why not?

There is a growing industry in providing services to Islamic peoples so if someone can make a $$ out of it why not. Maybe a quiet time slot can be put aside for a specific group? Maybe they could rent a pool? Maybe someone could set up a gym for Islamic People? Could be some coin in it (but I doubt it)

Doubt I'd get bent out of shape about it though.

ps - heres a thought. Instead of all covering clothes why not dye the water so you can't see through it?

Shit you are onto something there Finn. The Maoris have claimed the real foreshores and now the bloody Muslims are after the artifical ones dammit.

I reckon with years of repression, most Muslim woman would be sexual deviants. Might be worth a crack if you could find a good looking one that didn't smell funny.

So they are worried their own muslim women are getting unfit and gaining weight.

So what is wrong in getting out there an pounding the streets (walking)
Or maybe change their diet as well.......... if they are eating to much junk food.

We are taught from early childhood in NZ, not to be fully clothed when swimming as it can lead to getting into serious trouble and sinking or drowning.

So how the hell do they expect to swim in their black gowns (or whatever they are called).

If they are that worried then build their own swimming pools at their OWN costs and not at local government or tax payers money.
They can do their own fundraising for it.

If they think that local swimming pools be shut at certain times just for them..... then no way.

Sorry but they moved to live in NZ, then become NZers well then they can blardy live as we do.
Swim in togs.
