Why Harvard University wasn’t right in granting Muslim women “women-only” gym hours.

I think we can all agree if this had been an orthodox Christian or even Jewish women’s group that had wanted the private gym time, the sexy would have been sucked right out of the story and resulted in a small article in the harvard campus news and no national coverage.
Muslim women have become this weird, hyper-inflated icon. You wanna see liberal western men get fired up, start talking about the treatment of women in Islam.
Islam is a puritanical religion. Traditional Muslims are hypersensitive about male-female interaction.
Big friggin’ deal.
