Muslim Women Want Segregated Facilities in Health Clubs
Across the Muslim world, women are treated like 2nd class citizens.
Now, we can see why: it is with their own permission.
Muslim Women Want Single-Sex Workouts
Here is what Fitness USA should tell these nuts: in the US, we have laws against segregation. If you do not like these laws, pick your veiled asses up and return from the Islamic shithole from whence you came.
Of course, the betting is that this business will cave to the Islamic mindset, because slowly we are allowing ourselves to become one Islamic nation under Allah. And no one seems willing to stand up to these fruitcakes.

Muslim Women Want Single-Sex Workouts
LINCOLN PARK, Mich. (AP) -- About 200 Muslim women who have memberships to the Fitness USA chain of athletic clubs have signed a petition asking the gyms to honor what they say was a promise to provide separate exercise times for women and men.
Arrwa Mogalli, 28, of Dearborn, said she bought a $1,465 lifetime membership after being promised that a Lincoln Park facility would be open only to women on certain days.
The gym in this Detroit suburb opened a new part of the center this month to both sexes every day.
"I felt like all the money I just spent ... has gone to waste," Mogalli said.
The women are asking the chain to restore single-sex exercise days for the entire gym or to put up a divider so men and women cannot see each other while exercising.
"In Islam, there are codes of modesty for both genders," said Ammerah Saidi, 23, of Dearborn. "When you're working out, you're not dressed modestly, and you're bending in provocative ways, so you can't be working out with the opposite gender."
