The south-eastern French wine capital of Bordeaux is up in arms over a Muslim-owned grocer’s decision to impose male and female-only days for customers.
A small sign outside the De L'Orient à L'Occidental store stipulated that women were only welcome on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesday and Fridays.
Men, on the other hand, were kindly asked to take their custom elsewhere on weekends.
The gender split was put in place by the store's owners, recent converts to Islam, to make sure women and men do not meet.
Naïma Charaï, a Socialist regional councillor and head of French equality group ACSE, criticised the gender-specific opening hours, saying they were “unimaginable and unacceptable”.
Marik Fetouh, the deputy mayor of Bordeaux in charge of equality, told 20 Minutes newspaper that the ban was unprecedented.
"This is the first time we've seen something like this in Bordeaux," he said, adding that gender-specific rules in shops were not typical for Muslims in the region.
"It's problematic because it creates a bad image for the Muslim community, who actually abide by 99 per cent of the laws of France."

“”It’s problematic because it creates a bad image for the Muslim community, who actually abide by 99 per cent of the laws of France.”
Except for the ones about gunning people down in the streets.

It’s way past time for heads on pikes
“It’s problematic because it creates a bad image for the Muslim community, who actually abide by 99 per cent of the laws of France.”
It’s that 1% that can create real bloodbaths.
They may be separated but they are equal. What’s the provlem? Who are we to judge?
Hard to believe that men are treated that BADLY...but then this is FRANCE.
Can’t wait until they bring this to the US.
Ya which day do the Bruce Jenner’s of the world get to go there? Certainly they have made provision for trans whatever peoples????
I bet those muzzies are fun people to party with.
Hard to believe that men are treated that BADLY...but then this is FRANCE.
This is ONE newly converted store owner and immediately you condemn France. What do you use for brains?
gender ban.... what is that...
Gee, who would have thought the muslims would not assimilate into the culture? They promised they would!
Cannot wait until this makes its way to NYC.
Leftists will find all sorts of ways to justify it.
Muslims in France are not just going to roll over and plead for mercy. Only Christians in America do that.
Would that be a seven day shopper, or a zero day shopper, to the store?
Not to be nitpicking but Bordeaux is in the west, not the southeast, n’est-ce pas?
Probably wouldn’t survive for 7 days in that area.
All part of the “fundamental transformation” of Western civilization.
Just wait till they get over here and start decapitating good ol’ liberals who will then be scurrying to the gun stores.
“Oh, no. Never! This is a socialist state. Only good things happen here.”
Fools. Each and every one of them.
Yeah, it’s just that 1%. If nothing else you’ve got to admire these Saracen bastards, they got balls.
