Special Treatment Only For Muslims??
Posted in Roller Skates For Women on May 30th, 2011 | 8 commentsQuestion by : Special Treatment Only For Muslims??
I am really interested why some muslims think that they deserve special treatment in many areas of our western society? I was really shocked by the article I was reading today:
“Muslim woman banned from roller-skating rink because she was wearing a headscarf
Marisol Rodriguez-Colon, 40, was ‘mortified’ when she turned up to the Ron-A-Roll rink in Vernon, Connecticut only to be refused entry.
When she asked why, security staff referred her to the venue’s rules which were posted at the entrance and read: ‘No Hats. No Headwear. No Exceptions.’

Now the CAIR is launching a human rights complaint against the roller skating rink…
Muslims, please explain to me, why is that muslims can require special treatment in cases where it clearly breaks safety regulations. EVERYONE must follow these rules and it was fine up to the moment when a muslim woman thought that she is above the regulations and can just go and ignore the regulations. If it was just her then it could be just her ignorance, but now when CAIR is involved with this issue it seems more than that, for me personally it seems like that they are trying to show how muslims are offended in the society and that they dont need to follow the same rules as others.
Also the case with swiming pools, why they can go dressed in full “burkini” while the rest of us must follow strict rules? Just try to complain about the violations in safety regulations to someone and you will be called Islamaphobe…
I think, some of the people didnt understand what I was trying to show here.
USA is a society where there is no special treatment for any kind of group.
In this particular case, SHE WAS NOT ASKED TO REMOVE THE HIJAAB!!!!! She refused to wear helmet! Tell me how did that violated her rights? In case she fell down and had injury ,who do you think she would sue for not asking her to comply with safety regulations? What did she made out of it? Yes, you guessed it, another Islamophobic case.
I know for a fact that their society requires me to follow their rules, if I go to any Islamic country.. I will have to follow their rules(no alcohol, pork, shorts etc). And Im fine with that, you know why? Because Im in there country and I follow their rules.
@ She said – The examples of the non-muslim tourists in muslims countries are just limited to few areas. It is special area where they are allowed to go. You mentioned Egypt, UAE and countries like that. There are special areas in Egypt where you can feel safe as a tourist and you WILL NOT BE ABLE to go outside any city and feel safe if you wear the tradition western summer clothes there.
Also in UAE and im sure also in many other muslim countries, you can go to jail for kissing in the public.
Dont forget that for example in Egypt, in last few weeks Christian Copts are facing HUUGE discrimination from muslims extremists in that country. Just google the recent attacks on them. There are also rules in many Islamic countries that doesnt allow for the new Churches to be built, yet the muslims from the these countries who come here for better life DEMAND that there are no restrictions on new Mosques in Western World.
Also why non-muslims are required to pay EXTRA TAXES in muslim lands?

Muslim’s that live in America should learn English and their new culture.
Those that refuse should kindly find the door back “home”.
America doesn’t want their faith, their world views, and their terroristic ideology.
I agree with you all the way, and often wonder the same thing my self. I believe that if your going to come into this country, reside here, seek a job, and live the lifestyle, you must to some degree assimilate and conform to our way of life and our practices/lifestyles.
If you are so concerned about your religious headscarf, then you are more than welcome to leave the country. But if you are residing here, benefiting from the freedoms and rights of this country, then surely you must conform to atleast some of our standards. I am a minority in this country–let me just clarify that. There are plenty of ethnic groups here, and you don’t see us all protesting for our individual rights–because it’s not right. We come into this country for a better future–we must learn to respect this country rather than alter it to our own needs.
EDIT: User Iranian, the special treatment that we are talking about is the fact the why should it be okay for a muslim women to break the rule that was set forth by the Rink committee? We treat everyone as equals in this country, and that being said, everyone deserves the SAME treatment. If we don’t allow a Chrisman with a hat on enter the rink, we’re not going to allow a muslim women to enter with a hijab on.
I understand it is their choice to cover their hair, and we’re not asking them to REMOVE it. We’re simply telling them: you can not enter with any headwear.
What if my personal choice was to be a nudist, and I wanted to enter a Mosque? You can not force me to wear clothes, because according to your argument, “it is a personal choice”. I am sure there are rules in the Mosque against nudity, and I would be denied entry based on that.
EDIT: @user She Said, “Majority of Muslim women go to Muslim sports centres to swim so big deal?”
Muslim Sports Centres…you don’t think that is Muslims receiving special treatment from the government? Muslims get their own sports centre. Do you see Italian Sports centre? Latvian Sports Centre?
Do you see my point of view here? No hard feelings in this message, I am just retaliating what you wrote.
“Muslim woman banned from roller-skating rink because she was wearing a headscarf”
Iranian women took part in the competitions with headscarves and won gold medals. I don’t think a headscarf is heavier than a hat, so what’s the rpoblem with that? Also, please understand that for many Muslim women, their beliefs are above the man-made regulations you’re talking about.
And what kind of special treatment are you talking about? It’s their hair, they wanna cover it, it’s their choice. Does giving people to choose how they wanna live considered special treatment?
In America we are all supposed to be treated the same. (I thought)
They defy it because they can get away with it, in fact many islamic groups encourage them to defy such rules. This kind of arrogance is the result of non muslim PC minded liberal policy of muslim appeasement. A appeaser according to Winston Churchill is one who keeps feeding the crocodile hoping it will eat him last.
Islam’s higher standards of modesty don’ t go down well with the western authorities who insist on making all the women follow their own level of moral standards. All such rules and regulations mentioned by you have been made to bring a Muslim women down to a lower level (on par with others).
Has there ever been a case where a Muslim women was found to be hiding WMD’s or any other weapon under the headscarf? But still people keep talking about how headscarfs pose a threat to security.
And to those asking Muslims to leave the country, why don’t they object to the presence of foreign forces who have committed/are committing unpardonable atrocities on Muslim countries to leave.
What ”special treatment”? I am a westerner and a Muslim and I do not ask for nor receive special treatment for anything from anyone.
I would not want to enter a place that had such a ridiculous ban. How is a headscarf a safety issue lol? A hat I get it can come off and land on the ice and others skating my trip over a fallen hat and injure themselves, but I take it they are not banning scarfs so if it ties round her head instead of round her neck, its a dumb rule to begin with, its not a safety issue for anyone.
As for swimming pools many pools do not accept burkini as wear and Muslim women do not go there. Majority of Muslim women go to Muslim sports centres to swim so big deal? I dont think so. What safety is being violated because you cannot see her skin? Stop talking nonsense. If this all you have to worry about in life you have too much time on your hands.
I have never been to any places that say I cannot wear my headscarf, I am a westerner I am violating no ones ”safety” rules and am not asking anyone for a ”special treatment”.
I guess you are just as upset with this woman who is reclessly wearing a scarf, I mean it could come loose and cause a major accident, shocker!!!. But when tied round her head and pinned on she would NOT be allowed to wear it on the ice right?

The whole question from begining to end is twaddle!
EDIT
So any of these women wanting to roller skate, forget it?

You cannot call that a ”Muslim” issue.
The artical says ” A Muslim woman was banned from entering a roller-skating rink because her headscarf breached the ‘no hoods’ rule.”
”Mrs Colon and her female friend, who also wore a headscarf, were told they could either taken off the hijab – or wear a helmet over the top of it.”
So they where asked to remove it OR wear a helmet. If everyone is required to wear a helmet I do not know why they where upset. If no one else was required to wear a helmet of course I see why they where upset. I have never been to an rink in all my life that required people wear ”helmets” so I am assuming it is the later. Did they want to make them stand out and look like fools? Seems so…
”‘I wear this with pride. I was mortified, by asking someone to wear a helmet you are actually ostracising us.
‘You are singling us out and showing everyone there is an issue – that something is wrong with these two women.’”
So the rink is rather hypocritical they offered helmets but are sticking with their ”No hats, No headwear. No exceptions” but wanted them to put headwear on and for that exception to be OK but them wearing a headscarf as a religious obligation not OK…They seem a tad confused if you ask me.
”In a statement Ron-A-Roll management said it stuck by its ‘no headwear’ dress code and said helmets were offered for health and safety reasons.”
Surely there no headwear rule applies to the headwear known as a helmet…
”I know for a fact that their society requires me to follow their rules, if I go to any Islamic country.. I will have to follow their rules(no alcohol, pork, shorts etc). And Im fine with that, you know why? Because Im in there country and I follow their rules.”
Clearly you have never been to a Muslim country. Non Muslims go as tourists all the time and are free to drink alcohol and dress how they choose even wearing bikini’s on beaches. I follow all my countries laws and if my having he right in my own country to religious freedom bothers you then guess what you move.

The artical makes it sound like she is the only one. NOT true at all. The beaches are full of people in bikinis and in Tunisia and Turkey and Morocco.

Is it a rule in America women of faith CANNOT cover their heads and bodies? No I dont think it is. So what laws is it that they are violating? Are you asking a nun to remover her habit? So why are Muslim women any different?
EDIT
1. I did not mention Egypt
2. I only mentioned one country in the UAE.
3. Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco are all north Africa.
4. So Muslims accomidating tourists and giving them beaches to freely wear what the like is still not accomidating enough?
5. Tourists go all over places like Egypt and Tunisia and wear what they want. Sure they are not walking the high streets in Bikini’s but no one in my town in the UK walks the high street in Bikini’s either.
Muslims do not force you to go to there countries, they do not force you to eat and drink anything. Yes there are guidlines but there are guidlines for plenty of non Muslim countries too. So basically you are saying we are damned if we do and we are damned if we dont. Got it. I proved you wrong and still you want to talk nonsense. Have you ever been to a single Muslim country? Just answer me that…
U know what asker ? U may be right when u speak abt burka . . . But putting limitation to pplz just for being decent and following their religion is wrong . . . U know that muslims r nt wearing it for fun . . Or to look better or coz they think its cool . . . Its an obligation towards god they dont remove it for any reason infront of forgien men . . . So plz guys be more undrstanding and diffrentiate between religious obligation and just fashion or personal desires . . . U guys speak abt co existing eh ? Make it possible by being understanding . . Peace
