You decry that Muslims as a group are vilified when only some of them are violent terrorists, and them do the same thing with regard to Western societies.

Is this a failure of reason or a deliberate attempt to bait us?

For socities that hate so much the "evil" of Islamic culture to then try and make a "quick buck" does not reflect anything but greed and hypocrisy. Mr.Shott my problem is that this hypocritical.

Is there any prohibition to such enjoyment in privacy in Islam? Do Muslim women want to enjoy the sun, the surf, and the sand without having to wear the garments they are required to wear when in the presence of men? If so, why shouldn’t someone provide them that opportunity?<br/><br/>Will providing them that opportunity be a good business decision? If there are enough Muslim women who want that opportunity, it certainly will have been. Why do you view providing people what they want, so long as it does not violate any religious or cultural prohibitions, as so negative a thing? <br/><br/>People make money selling food, cars, clothing, books, music, etc. Why should they not also make money selling Muslim women the opportunity to enjoy the beach as other women do?

Sadly, everything in this world is about power and money. But I thought you'd like this initiative. As for me, I think public spaces should never be segregated. You are hard to please, Kashmiri.
