    This isn’t discrimination…….it’s called abiding by rules and regulations and has nothing to do with religion. The world shouldn’t have to cater to whack jobs wearing sheets and veils. You want to come to the pool, do what’s required. If not, take your kids to some Muslim cesspool and keep your sheets and veils on. The judge who ruled on this needs a beating.

    Seems they are “visitors” in Sweden & if they don’t like the rules….leave! It also doesn’t say what the kids were wearing, probably complying with the rules. Maybe the judge has a US mentality! What a shame.

    Agree with both of you. These people need a reality check. They “deserve” nothing. Upon further reflection, who would want to see a couple nasty looking Muslim women with body hair in the first place?

    Let ’em put on appropriate swimming attire but leave their veils on…no one wants to view those mustaches and facial hair. Could it be that Europe is now beginning to see litigation the same way the plaintiffs’ bar in the US sees it? This award would have been multiplied many times by a US Court, but the inroad has now been made and I predict it’s only a matter of time before Sweden’s Courts are overrun with people trying to cash in on “discrimination”, “religious persecution”, and every other manner of “injury”. I’m thinking of opening a plaintiffs’ practice in Sweden.

    Oh, you don’t know the half of it.

    Salt Lake Airport: Muslim cabbies turn driver breakroom into mosque
    And, according to one of the non-Muslim drivers, threatened to kill him when he complained, and said to him, “You F-ing Jew, you don’t want us to pray here.” The Muslim cab drivers, however, have charged him with assault, and he has been barred from working at the airport. Whatever the truth of that, however, no one seems to be disputing that airport officials allowed the Muslim drivers to turn the room into a prayer room unchallenged.

    “Dispute over airport breakroom leads to lawsuit,” by Sarah Dallof for KSL.com (thanks to LGF):

    A shuttle driver has filed a complaint with the FAA against the Salt Lake International Airport, saying officials allowed thousands of religious services to be conducted on public property. Muslim cab drivers began praying in a small airport building used as a break room after 9-11, because, the airport says, they became targets, with people yelling at them and throwing things.
    Last week we brought you the story of a Muslim cab driver at the airport who says he was assaulted when he tried to pray inside the building. Tonight the man charged in that case speaks out about his case against the airport.

    Shuttle driver Jeff Brueningsen took photos inside the building he and other drivers share at the airport. “It was definitely an Islamic center.” He said it didn’t feel right, so he filed a complaint with the FAA against the airport.

    “In proper, polite company you never bring up politics or religion. And they introduced both instantly into what’s supposed to be a professional, secular transportation-aviation facility,” Brueningsen said.

    In the complaint he details claims that he was harassed by a group of Muslim drivers who he says have threatened to kill him. It came to a head earlier this month when Brueningsen says Mohammed Alahmed and other drivers attacked him.

    “They were going like this, using their fingers, saying, ‘You F-ing Jew, you don’t want us to pray here,'” Brueningsen says.

    Alahmed says it was the other way around, that Brueningsen tried to stop him from praying. “He say the F word against me, and I didn’t do anything. And he grabbed me from my shirt and hit me with his hand,” Alahmed said.

    Airport police investigated and charged only Brueningsen with assault. Shortly after, the airport closed the building, and Muslim drivers began praying outside.

    No one was happy.

    Cab driver Yuriy Artuyunyan says, “We cannot have breakfast, we cannot go to restroom, we cannot play chess.”

    Barbara Gann, with the Salt Lake International Airport, said, “There were some grave concerns over safety and possible escalating violence.”

    Airport officials say they never sanctioned prayers, but they never stopped them. Instead they trusted the drivers to be courteous and respectful to one another, a plan that didn’t work.

    Airport and city officials are meeting to decide what to do with the building. While they do that, Brueningsen isn’t allowed to work on airport property.
