Religion of Peace update: Harvard goes dhimmi

Posted 06 Mar 2008 in dhimmitude, intolerance, Islam, Religion of Peace update, Sharia

Institutionalized discrimination, in the name of Islam. Once again, the Religion of Peace Perpetual Outrage gets their way:

In a test of Harvard’s famed open-mindedness, the university has banned men from one of its gyms for a few hours a week to accommodate Muslim women who say it offends their sense of modesty to exercise in front of the opposite sex.

The policy is already unpopular with many on campus, including some women who consider it sexist.

“I think that it’s incorrect in a college setting to institute a policy in which half of the campus gets wronged or denied a resource that’s supposed to be for everyone,” said student Lucy Caldwell, who also wrote a column in The Harvard Crimson newspaper critical of the new hours.

Student Ola Aljawhary, who is Muslim and works out elsewhere on campus but is not one of the women who requested the change, rejected that argument.

“The majority should be willing to compromise,” she said. “I think that’s just basic courtesy. We must show tolerance and respect for all others.”

Newspeak translation: “You must give special concessions for Muslims, no matter the cost to kafirs.”

The Boston Herald‘s Michael Graham reports: (h/t: Moonbattery)

Six times a week, Harvard kicks all the guys out of the Quadrangle Recreational Athletic Center at the request of the Harvard Islamic Society. This is to accommodate those female Muslim students whose faith won’t let them work out in front of men.

In the old days, Harvard would have laughed if some Catholic or evangelical mother urged “girls-only” campus workouts in the name of modesty. Today, Harvard happily implements Sharia swim times in the name of Mohammed.

At Harvard, that’s called progress.

When I asked Harvard spokesman Bob Mitchell about this new Sharia-friendly policy, he denied that they were banning anyone. “No, no,” he told me, “we’re permitting women to work out in an environment that accommodates their religion.”

By banning all men from the facility, right?

“It’s not ‘banning,’” he insisted. “We’re allowing, we’re accommodating people.”

Newspeak translation: “we’re accommodating some intolerant Muslims by catering to their sexist bigotry.” Now that’s progressive!

UPDATE: Jenn of the Jungle asks a good question:

Now, where is the outrage? “Harvard currently receives about $400 million in federal funding annually.”

Where are the pissed off heathen Moonbats picketing Harvard chanting:SEPARATION OF MOSQUE AND STATE, SEPARATION OF MOSQUE AND STATE!!!!!
