It is so ironic that the Muslims know this, they count on the essential decency - and welfare benefits - of Westerners, knowing full well they would crack down on any Westerner that tried to shove his beliefs in their faces back in their countries. Trojan horses, will we learn in time? They're trying to start a precursor of Dhimmitude: you will do what we say! We have a right to be here and you'll have to assimilate, not us!
Wish I could have seen the spin cycle.
we need to drag the muslims kicking and screaming into modernity, preferably alive.
Its their choice
This came up a few years ago in a Chicago suburb at a public, tax-supported municipal pool. Fully clothed people were not even allowed to be on the pool deck. The reason was because full clothing would greatly affect the ability of someone who fell into the pool from swimming and saving themselves. A mother who had no intention of swimming and only wanted to be able to keep a close eye on her kid sued. I don't know what the final disposal of the case was.
Does not appear that anyone thought of this simple, obvious solution!
That's what socialism does to your brain.
Ultra-Orthodox Jews do not allow swimming of men and women together. Their solution was to create private swimming clubs with separate days for men and women.
Jewish Community Centers in some cities (like, where I live) have adopted special days for "men only" "women only" and "mixed" for their swimming pools. It turned out that a lot of non-religious and even non-Jewish women preferred the "women only" days for swimming and gym.
Have you any understanding of how many converts to Islam currently reside in this country? Most of them occurred in prisons, and that is the scariest part. Even more weird is the fact that the United States Government recognized the inmate Muslim population and made special arrangements for them. This has been going on for the past forty years.
I agree. I've posted this sentiment before: Islam has a lot to offer violent prisoners. In exchange for some self-discipline in the name of Islam, they are free, and indeed encouraged, to work out all of their aggressive fantasies on the infidels. It is very attractive to a certain type of psychopath. It gives them reason to live, it gives them reason to live... (apologies to Randy Newman).
If they can force their will upon Europeans and Americans then let them do it! If we aren't strong enough to resist then we will die. Another footnote of history.
My dad used to swim at the Y over sixty years ago, and he said NO TOPS and NO BOTTOMS were the rule.
And I'm sure it's still the rule at the local Y, but for very different reasons.
Cotton clogs swimming pool filters and makes the water murky and nasty. That's why many swimming pools will not allow people to wear cut-off jeans or cotton t-shirts. Lycra, polyester, and nylon are fine. No doubt the maintenance man at this pool had a problem on his hand a few hours later.
They always can swim back to their jihadistan.

They have successfully opened government ones that should be kept though, in the water torture tanks for suspected terrorists.
Maybe they just don't want to show their cuts and bruises -- and/or bandages.
That was the pool dress code at my all boy high school in the early 60's.

Yeah, well, what's the point in THAT? That's the logical and reasonable approach, but the point is coercing the infidels to conform to THEIR customs.
If all they wanted was a place to swim, even the local JCC would have accommodated them. Though it's hard to conceal a suicide belt in a bikini.
