Shameless post published by Huff post and then re-posted by Yahoo on Burkhas being allowed in swim pools

You can read the Yahoo’s version of the story by clicking this Link

This probably ranks among the shameless posts published by Huff post as well by Yahoo, who re-posted it, calling all women wearing Swim wear attire as immodest and violating the religious sentiments of other. Would you believe this?

It is not that hard to see today as to how these online medias just to flavor and garner attention had gone to the extent of selling themselves away just to earn those few clicks, Thus calling what was held good through ages as Immodest, Impolite and unacceptable. This is what is called as the Huff’s audacity with Yahoo riding piggy back on it.

Do you all know why?

It all started because, Ruhee Kapadia, a Muslim mother [ did you see that? it always has to be “Muslim” as a prefix, for we mothers have all fallen from grace and thus being a Muslim mother elevates one self to grace-“these decorative words are from Yahoo reporting”]

the story continues,…

from Long Island, New York, took her 13-year-old daughter to their local pool. But staff at the Echo Park Pool said Kapadia’s daughter wasn’t allowed to swim, citing her clothing. Her daughter was wearing a bathing suit layered with leggings and a T-shirt, which staff said wasn’t appropriate swimwear, which is otherwise called as Burkha.

Now the furious mother approaches the democrat candidate, Gillen, who vouches to revamp the customary swim suit dress code expected for Muslims. Thus by saying these, she wins required favored support, and then revamps the policy.

Now, the question to be asked here would be the audacity of Huff post and Yahoo, who adeptly use words such as “distressed by the situation and perplexed by the rules” and then go on  to term those  wearing the acceptable swim wear as immodest, wow!, great and good work by these online medias.

The underlying point is that, what is acceptable and considered Norm for everybody is suddenly distress causing stressor and more so a perplexing event for the few.

So the understanding that we all should draw is this, if there is a dress code acceptable for the place and event, you are exempted and not obliged to follow them if you are wearing either a Burkha or a Nijab. This is what is called Equality?

The post ends with the following, “It’s easy to sit and talk,” Kapadia said. But she encourages people to call their public officials: “We live in this community. We are equal. We share … the same things as anybody else. So why settle for less?” 

If you claim we are equal, then why fight for special privileges. Then why not implement the rule to respect other religious attires too, instead insist and force me to cover my head when I want to visit a mosque, if not my head would be chopped off.

It always starts off in small changes like these, later, it would become like England, where English girls cannot wear midis for the fear of an acid hit, because Muslim men feel it tempting.

Oh! Yeah, then why not adopt the same attitude towards your women too? For they are tempting you ‘all, all of the time and that is why progressively they conceive.
