The funny thing that gets me is why were the windows blacked out? It was the councils decision. Thinking about it though if Muslim women were worried about their modesty, wouldnt they just wear a full body bathing suit - the so called Burkini:



If they wore bikinis or normal bathing costumes wouldnt they be immodest with regards to the other bathers?

However if you look into the story a bit more closely, you will find it wasnt just muslims who wanted the windows screened it was non muslims as well. Also the pools were not pitched into darkness as claimed, The film applied to the windows was actually translucent which allows natural light through.

Definately a case of churnalism:

In essence, a leisure centre has added a few privacy measures to a swimming pool after suggestions from Muslims and non-Muslims.

The tabloids turn this into: Muslims force Council to black out all windows in a swimming pool so they can swim while ruining it for everyone else.
