Italy Gets Separate Beaches For Muslim Women

From those lovers of the gorgeous mosaic at the DNC’s Associated Press:

Italian Plans Beaches for Muslim Women

August 3, 2006

ROME — An Italian resort plans to create all-female beach sections for Muslim women wishing to shed their headscarves and long robes to enjoy the sun in privacy, officials said Thursday.

Riccione, a resort town on Italy’s eastern coast, will let hotels set up partitions on the shoreline to satisfy requests from growing numbers of Arab and Muslim tourists.

"Our beaches are big enough to answer this need," said Loretta Villa, Riccione’s councilwoman. "We live on tourism and we can’t survive if we don’t satisfy the requests of our customers."

By making some areas off-limits to men, observant Muslim women will be able to ease up on religious restrictions to cover up if men are present, Villa said.

The reserved beaches would be waited on by by waitresses and watched over by women lifeguards.

The partitions will not reach into the sea as a section, Villa said.

To allow Muslim women to swim without covering up in robes and headscarves, Riccione would consider building reserved seaside swimming pools, she said.

Oh, joy.

    Yeah, right. The Italian paparazzi will be on this in about 14 seconds. We will have Muslim Girls Gone Wild … nude elbows! exposed knees! Enough material for a 14yo Saudi boy to develop calluses.

    Another take, from the UK’s Guardian:

    Sun, sea and sharia on women-only Italian beach

    John Hooper in Rome
    Friday August 4, 2006

    First there were pensioner holidays with Saga. Then came singles packages with Club 18-30.

    Now an Italian seaside resort has taken speciality tourism into new territory in an effort to combine the delights of sun, sea and sand with a respect for sharia law.

    The council of Riccione on the Adriatic riviera was reported yesterday to have altered its bylaws to allow a section of its famed beach to be closed off and made women-only.

    That way Muslim women on holiday in the area could swim and enjoy themselves on the beach while respecting Islam’s injunctions against mixed bathing and displaying their bodies to members of the opposite sex.

    Some women-only beaches already exist along the Italian coast, but they are visible from mixed areas.

    Loretta Villa, the councillor responsible for the initiative, told Corriere della Sera newspaper: “Riccione is a city that lives off tourism. We need to be in a position to respond to the demands of our guests. And in this case the motives are not superficial, but cultural and religious. We have already had some indirect requests for separate beach areas.”

    The proposed beach zone would also have an all-female staff, including women lifeguards.

    The initiative appeared to have been prompted by a sharp increase in the number of free-spending tourists coming to Riccione from the Arabian peninsula.

    Corriere della Sera reported that recent guests at the five-star Grand Hotel Des Bains had included a member of the Saudi royal family and the owner of a Saudi television channel, both of whom arrived with substantial entourages. The hotel told the paper it had met the demand for women-only swimming facilities by reserving the indoor pool for them.

    It’s just “speciality tourism” you see.

    Like catering to spring break college kids.

    Okay, now transport this whole idea to someplace near San Francisco:

    “a section of its famed beach to be closed off and made women-only … women on holiday in the area could swim and enjoy themselves on the beach … The proposed beach zone would also have an all-female staff, including women lifeguards.”

    I dunno … sounds kinda funny.

    So how do we know if that chick on the cover is hot or not? That outfit is something I’d expect to see in an Arabian hospital, not at the beach. And what is with that palm tree? Is she concealing some terrible hand defect?

    But seriously, has anyone ever thought about how boys growing up in those muslim countries even learn about sexual attraction? Do they even know what a woman looks like, or do they develop some bizarre lust for amorphous black teepees walking down the street? I could be way off, it’s late and I’m feeling disoriented.

    So….when do we hear about a Muslim country setting aside a special beach for tourists where non-Muslim men and women can mingle together, wearing their traditional beach garb?

    Studmuffin: I would imagine that since the only “equipment” they see while growing up is their own they would either a) learn to appreciate their own equipment and the equipment of the other males around them, or b) develop a strange obsession with Bed, Bath and Beyond’s -linens- section.

    Oh, and, yeah, at first I thought that they were catering to women in the medical profession for this resort.

    Hubba, Hubba.

    After those babes have popped out 10 or 12 kids, I doubt they are much to look at anyway.

    “But seriously, has anyone ever thought about how boys growing up in those muslim countries even learn about sexual attraction?”

    My guess is they grow up with a warped sense about sex and relationships in general. What a wierd and creepy cult, oops I mean “religion”.

  9. AmericanIPA

    Zoomie, the boys are taught that women are objects and servants to men. Attraction has nothing to do with it. And have you ever noticed that anything remotely resembling fun (I’m assuming sex is fun to islamonuts too) is pretty much frowned upon? Music, books other than the koran, movies, TV, fancy clothes, alcohol. Hell, it’s no wonder these guys are mad as hell. They need a good stiff drink and a good lay. Oh I forgot, all that happens in “heaven” (nyuk).

    Of course we all know what hypocrites they are from the pay-per-view porn bills in the 9-11 hijackers rooms, all the records of ribaldry form Khalid Shaikh Mohammad’s laptop, etc. These wouldn’t be proof to any arab, because they were “planted” by infidels no doubt. But I sure believe every bit.

    I’m sure the beach will just be covered with arab women right? And they will show their gratitude by blowing up the resort who came up with this evil idea. Multinationalism and ethnic diversity are really cool huh?

  10. zoomie

    I guess their frustration could explain why they are all so angry!!! :)

  11. 1sttofight

    Well that does explain their affection to animals. That is all they had while growing up.

  12. GTBurns

    AmericanIPA, the Saudi Royality is famous for going to the USA and blowing billions of their money at Vegas casinos, strip clubs, booze and Whores. Al the while they demand their people adhere to there twisted oppresive Sharia law. It must be great for them since they live on top of the shit heap.

    2 ways to learn about the ‘opposite’ sex in these cultures. Among the moderate ones - they send their boys to America as attending a military high school or college in America fulfills their military obligation back home. So many among the wealthier Arabs do that so that their sons don’t have to risk their lives actually serving the homeland. And the young Arabs are rude, arrogant and very violent while taking advantage of America and avoiding military service back home.
    If you read Princess or one of the sequels - under their robes they actually dress like normal people and so their children are exposed in the home to women dressed like normal people, it is only outside the home that they are forced to dress like packaged goods.

    Yowza, SG!!! Where did you get the hot mama in the cammies?

  15. Retired_Chief

    studmuffin: She doesn’t have a horrible hand defect…come on! She’s planting a beachside bomb…

    This is really bad on par with the moohaameeeeed cartoons. I mean publishing a picture like that of a mooselimb without her black tent is tantamount to pissing on moohaaameeed’s grave. Riots for sure are in order, maybe even a couple or three beheadings. I mean, mooselimbs cannot tolerate this kind of blasphemy. I’d look out for anyone carrying a sword SG.

    Yeah, well, there’s a method to their madness. Also heard on the radio yesterday that Paris has outlawed topless sunbathing and g-strings at Paris beaches. Haven’t seen it on the net yet. My first thought…Paris has _beaches_? Seems that they have some artificial beaches along the rivers… but the no topless and no g-strings? Personally, I’m in favor of it, but we’re talking Paris, here, and _laws_. Care to guess what’s going on?

    Found it. Although the mayor is apparently homosexual, so he isn’t winning favor among the muzzies. On the other hand, maybe it’s the old “I don’t have to outrun the bear, I just have to run faster than you” idea…

    I’d heard about France. Rush said something about it that was pretty interesting.
    Though we may retch at the thought of French topless or in G-strings, having the freedom to be topless is engrained in French culture. So why would they all of the sudden be restricting an established part of French culture? Is bathing to come soon? The answer to the first is: because France is surrendering itself, its culture, to the rising Muslim population’s cultural standards. The answer to the second question is not quite as imminent as the first, unfortunately.

    “amorphous black teepees walking down the street”

    LOL LOL LOL!!!!!

    That is one of the funniest phrases I have read in a long time!! The visual is awesome.

    crosspatch,

    They already have that in San Francisco, except it is a beach for lesbians.

    Speaking of Muslim sexual hypocrisy….a few of weeks ago, the anti-terror squad over here crashed into the flat of two Pakistani brothers early in the morning and arrested them both on suspicion of plotting terrorist offences. One of them was shot by accident in the scuffle, sustaining a minor wound. No evidence was found and eventually the two brothers (shaved heads, full black beards by the way) were released without charge and went, guess where, straight to a press conference with, guess who, their human rights legal team, to tell everybody how their rights were violated and how they were victims of anti-Muslim prejudice and how their only crime was to be devout followers of the Prophet blah, blah.

    So far, so usual, except when the cops looked on one of the brother’s pcs they didn’t find any jihadi stuff but they did find lots and lots and lots of, guess what, child pornography…for which this fine example of humanity has now been rearrested.
