If it is truly a “women only” session then I have less of a problem with it. There are other religions that might have women that would feel more comfortable with an all female swim time. Many Orthodox Jews and conservative Christians would not want to swim in front of nonfamily men. I am in no way an apologist for Muslims and if this was a “Muslim only” swim time it would be a different story. I think a private facility has the right to have allotted times as they see fit- the gym I was a member of had a women only and 55 and older times set aside at the pool.

  If ‘women only’ means ‘islamic women only’, it would be another one of their nasty islamic tactics to exclude us nonbelievers from a public facilities, which will be most unacceptable to us nonbelievers and make international women day such a meaningless farce.
  Are those islamic women trying out their islamic apartheid in Edmonton?.

I don’t have a problem with it as long as men get their OWN private time. It should have NOTHING to do with religious preferences either.
Simply males and females. Would they allow trans-gender people?

This is sickening and typical of the mentality of people who work in the infrastructure of Edmonton.
They promote immigrants and refugees to maintain all their cultural dress, customs, and bend over backward to not have them assimilate into the ‘now lost Canadian Culture’, these small minded bureaucrats who lack insite, really damage the climate of the city. There is a strong underground islamic movement in this city, and absolutely no awareness of it, even the Jewish organizations keep a low profile. No JDL in Edmonton. Mosques encourage as they do in all cities for the young women wearing head coverings to try for employment in visual places, such as taking tickets in theatres, working in the front lines at Tims and other places where there is lots of traffic, where parents and kids all attend openings of major kid flicks, or buy food, or shop, this is part of their program to try to normalize the sick patheitic head coverings worn by religious extremists, and those who are victims of gender apartheid.
It is outrageous in this free democracy that we allow religious dress to be worn anywhere in the public sector.

  That is the problems with those refugees and immigrants from third world counntries. They would demand special privilege and benefits even when they don’t deserve it. They would demand jobs even when they can’t do as well and make other co- workers miserable with their incompetence and bossiness.
  Those muslims and asians are one of the most intolerant and abusive lot while they expect other people to be tolerant of their backwardness, abusiveness, incompetence and shabbiness.

This speaks volumes . . . about the so-called moral and ethics of MUSLIM MEN!

Following this story, I remember the attitude of the immigrants (read COLONISTS) who gave the impression Canada was THEIR country. Could this be the attitude preached into the heads of muslims yet to COLONIZE the New World? Are unsuspecting people being told they are not leaving home, just moving a little farther from their native village: that they carry the seeds of the SUPERIOR CIVILIZATION to those still living in darkness?

Opening it up to all women allows the city to subsidize this aspect of sharia while at the same time socializing the concept among non-Muslims..

Segregated prayers, segregated swimming, what’s next? Segregated gym classes in public school schools? Where does it end?

  At the end of the day, us nonbelievers would rather have our own family pool than uncomfortably share a pool with a bunch of extremist that used their unpleasant islamic totalitarian ideology to exclude us disadvantaged nonbelievers from having any enjoyment in life. Time and time again, it just proved how selfish those islamics are.

Those people are having wrong conception about Islam. They don’t fully understand. In our modern world, I don’t understand why so many people are very judgmental and blaming chaos or killings with other people. How they have proven the accusations without looking after what you have sighted like Christians killing Jews. You are correct and you understand well.

I also agree that Islam is a religion of peace, that is a 100% correct. They share for the poor. And people all over the world have different perceptions and freedom.

Me, as Catholic Christian believes that all religion are all good, whether Islam, Buddhist and a lot more. It is a member of religion, a believer who;s giving a bad image of his religion. Meaning if one Christian or Muslim did the crime, people will generalize the whole community. It could be a wrong perception, we should think and base everything in realities.

I witnessed here in the Middle east how Muslim countries are helping other people regardless of their faith.

I wish one day, those people accusing Islam and Christianity of bad things should be awaken and find for them the real truth. Don’t just speak and broadcast anything without any justified basis, it should be based on facts. Or else, it will lead to misleading other people.

last, i dont think having ladies swimming pool is that big deal, alot of women doesn’t feel comfortable showing their bodies.. freedom in my openion is the respect of others.

Continue to raise your voice, I salute you!!!! God bless and have faith in Allah

  Hmm talks like a MUSLIM and claims to be Catholic yeah sure #FAIL 100%
  
  as for judgemental- yes when nutjobs kill people here we JUDGE THEM AS MURDERERS & send them to jail-MUSLIMS give them parades (look up Samir Kuntar) and Saudis give them money and all ISLAM says they will be rewarded in heaven for killing any non Muslims
  
  we don;t have the wrong conception, we see reality of it- you are delusional
  
  if you don’t see the difference you are a liar or Muslim or asskisser of Muslims
  
  have a nice day

The whole of islamic community had been well known to be such an extreme big bully and had been known to make such a big nasty show of their islamic intolerance towards us nonbelievers.

Those islamics criticised south Africa but they are worst than south Africa in their bestowing of special rights to their own islamic community. Those islamics said there are democracy
in their rule but those islamics nastily and inconsiderately pushed their islamic agenda without considering our disadvantaged nonbelievers preference.
That is why one cannot trust what an islamic or proislamic said no matter how “nice” they appear to be.
It is incredible that there are still people deluding themselves over how ‘nice” those islamics are
Those islamics had been more of a nuisance to us poor nonbelievers of islamics nonsense than of any help to us poor nonbelievers.

I think those nasty islamics who never respect our nonbelievers freedom and who tried for so long to force us nonbelievers of islamic nonsense to respect their harmful islamic culture/ideology should stop forcing us nonbelievers to respect their nasty and abusive islamic culture/ideology.

I agree. If this is a “women only” swimming place, I think it’s wonderful.

As for the ignorant ppl who have no tolerance to other religions, beliefs, morals or simply feelings…. then you should just go swim in another swimming pool!

You’re just full of hate, I pity you…

I think there is nothing wonderful at all about any women only swimming place, if it include islamics who wish to spread their islamic hate or islamic totalitarian ideology disease via women only pool.

Extremely nasty, pushy and intolerant islamics certainly deserved no pity for not respecting our nonbelievers right and feelings.
Anyway, women only pool should be a personal choice, that have nothing to do with any ideology, and should not be exploited or dominated by any totalitarian ideology .
