Netherlands: Muslim Men, Women Segregated in Rotterdam Theatre
NIS News ^ | Februari 25 2009

ROTTERDAM, 28/02/09 - On Friday night, a Muslim stand-up comedian was scheduled to give a show in a Rotterdam theatre with segregated seating for the men and women in his audience.

Moroccan-born writer and TV producer Salaheddine Benchikhi was to make his debut as a stand-up comedian at Theater Zuidplein in Rotterdam. At his request, the theatre said it would offer female audience members the option of sitting apart from the men, as Algemeen Dagblad reported several hours before the show on Friday.

According to the newspaper, 50 of the 590 seats had been reserved for women who object to sitting beside a man due to their Islamic faith. As an extra 'service', the orthodox ladies may sit in the first rows of the balcony.

"Whether the option will actually be utilised remains to be seen", Joyce van Dongen of Theater Zuidplein stated. "Fifty is an estimate made by Salaheddine's management. Since the show is an opening night, we have no previous shows to serve as an example". If called for, a larger number of separate seats would be arranged, according to Van Dongen.

This 'standup comedian' has a tv show on a publicly funded broadcaster where he makes fun of right-wing extremists, because extremism is wrong of course. Except when it's islamic extremism...

The only reason they object is because they know they'd get stoned to death or beheaded if they did otherwise.

Hey - how about us guys who object to sitting beside a man due to their Islamic faith, eh?

Can't we get separate seats too?

offer female audience members the option of sitting apart from the men

It isn't forced segregation, just an option that I, although not Muslim, might at times consider an attractive offer myself. Men can sometimes be very annoying, particularly if they have been consuming alcohol.

It is not forced YET. Islamic culture seeping into the West is not good for our future generations. Think past the day that you are in.

I’m afraid I won’t be around for many more generations. At some point they will have to learn to fend for themselves.

Sorry to hear that, it does not seem much of the West has the will to fight. You remind me of mother, she is 72 and she follows politics very closely. She says thank God I will not be here to witness the final fall of the West.
