This is just a sign of european decadence and weakness. I was under the impression that it was going to stop after leaders like Berlusconi, Merkel and Sarkozy came to power, but apparently it hasn't.
I wonder why we are fighting islamic fundamentalism on the other side of the world, and let this people dictate whatever they want inside our national territories.

Count me in...

You've mis-represented what the article says and also changed the heading of it (which is a violation but we'll let it go this time).

There's no blanket demand at any pool for non muslims to dress as muslims at all times in order to use swimming pools and not offend. What it says is that a small amount of time has been put aside during the day in a small number of pools for all muslim sessions.

Still totally wrong in my IMO and if muslims want to swim in an all muslim environment at any time then perhaps they should build one at their own expense (rather than all tax payers expense) and do it there.

Whatever they do, it is extremely stupid to support islamic kind of dressing anywhere and especially at swimming pools.
Jesus, west Europe is totaly fuucked...God save them...

ISLAM: ITALY GETS A LOOK AT BURKINI

(ANSAmed) - VERONA, AUGUST 18 - Italy on Tuesday got its first close-up look at a burkini - an outfit consisting of head scarf, tunic and trousers - when a woman showed up at a Verona swimming pool wearing the outfit. In France, a woman was recently evicted from a pool outside Paris for wearing the head-to-toe swimwear because officials said the outfit was unhygienic. Christian Panzarini, the manager of the Verona pool, said he had not asked the woman to leave despite several complaints from mothers who said she had frightened their tots. However, Panzarini asked the woman to send him an e-mail detailing the kind of textile used for the outfit to see if it was in line with hygienic regulations. (ANSAmed).

Is the more stupid news in long time. Make your own swimming pool if you want to use a burkha, burkini or whatever. The minority has to fit to the majority, not the other way around. If you are a Western female living in a Muslim country, you probably has to use a burkini to go to the pool.

Well if that's western Europe, then... well, the faith of Europe lies in the underdogs again. Like I was imagined, the east will write some history again.

ITALIAN NORTHERN TOWN TO FINE WOMEN WEARING BURKINI

(ANSAmed) - TURIN, AUGUST 19 - A mayor of a northern Italian town decided on Wednesday to slap a hefty fine on women seen wearing the Islamic head-to-toe swimsuit or 'burkini' in local pools. Gianluca Buonanno, the mayor of Varallo Sesia in the northwestern region of Piedmont, said the sight of "a masked woman could cause dismay, especially among children" enjoying a day at the pool. Buonanno, who is also an MP with the devolutionist Northern League party, said he was similarly concerned that the costume might pose "hygienic problems". "Wére always very respectful of the customs and habits of those who are not of our culture but we mustn't always be tolerant," said the mayor, whose party has been accused of being anti-immigrant. "Let's try to imagine what would happen if a western went swimming in a Muslim country wearing a bikini: she might be decapitated, sent to jail or expelled from the country." "We are simply banning it and if this decision upsets anyone they can simply take a dip in a burkini in their own bathtub," said the mayor, who said women seen wearing it would be fined 500 euros. In France, a woman wearing a burkini was recently evicted from a pool outside Paris because officials said the outfit was unhygienic. Italy had its first look at the outfit - consisting of head scarf, tunic and trousers - a few days ago when a Muslim woman showed up at a Verona swimming pool wearing the swimsuit. Christian Panzarini, the manager of the Verona pool, said he had not asked the woman to leave despite several complaints from mothers who said she had frightened their tots. He asked the woman to mail him the details of the material used for the outfit, to see if it was in line with hygienic regulations. But she has not been seen since. (ANSAmed).
