HA HA HA HA HA!!!
In your FACE whitey!! Not only do you HAVE to make your health clubs into churches (thats what the Uof M journo school teaches them to call mosques)but you are to apologize for not having done so already.
If Christian Amish said that they wouldnt allow a woman to answer a phone they would be strung up. But becuase some animals are more equal than others WE are the problem.
dont fear FALLOUT, fear SELLOUT.
but then what do you expect from a castrated country run by Jenny the Canadian and W the crybaby. Where are the men? You aborted them…

My cousin once was a door-to-door salesman and he told me the only women freaker than jehovah Witnesses were the hijab honeys…go figure

Yesterday, I e-mailed the author of Detroit news article Krupa, Gregg.
check out his response:
Yes,XXXXX, because she has prayed in the gym for eight years and it was never a problem until November 29 when the incidents occurred.
And, by the way, thanks to the publicity, it is not going to be a problem, again.
sounds like he was rooting for her.

While I find lots of Muslim culture as backward as you, as a private, for-profit company that must cater to its customers, what do you suggest FitnessUSA do so as not to lose business? If I were running a gym in Dearborn and half my female customers said, “I’d like it if I could wear a t-shirt in the pool,” I’d have to be a business idiot to ignore that. I’d at least consider the idea.

In contrast to this Muslim woman, I remember when two Christian ladies were arrested for praying in public. This happened just about a year ago and here is the link;
“http://www.macombdaily.com/stories/121405/loc_pray001.shtml“
Interesting that Christian women get charged with disorderly conduct while Muslims can pray at gyms, airports, and just about anywhere they want. Why weren’t the Muslims at the airport charged with trespassing, disorderly conduct, etc?
Back to point, with so many Muslim woman into excercise you think some Arab entrepeneur would open up a Muslim friendly gym in Dearborn. Come to think of it, don’t the Muslims have a big cultural center on Ford Rd and another off Square Lake Rd which should have gym facilities for women. If they don’t, maybe they should build gym facilities for women. Or maybe women aren’t allowed to use the facilities.

Hi, Dan. You are right and caspermi speaks of some options. Tough business choices. Personally, it would be a difficult choice, but I would choose to go out of business, rather than support and submit to a political cult that preaches and practices, “death to America, death to Americans”. Kinda hard to spend those profits if you are a dead infidel. They seem so harmless and reasonable, don’t they? Just wait.

Maybe the mosques could conver a weapons storage room into a private gym.

Maybe the mosques could convert one of their weapons storage rooms into a gym so their women wouldn’t have to go to an infidel gym.

There is an important point here. Business will be no ally in the fight against Islam.
The Islamists here have taken a page from the UK playbook (just read Londonistan by Melanie Phillips).
You know what: it’s working in the US just as it’s worked over there (where trains go “pop” and where 14-year-old’s are arrested for hate-speech when they object to lab partners who refuse to speak English).
Intimidation under the guise of “Islamophobia” works because our business, political and religious leaders are (with the exception of US Air) craven to the core.

“Personally, it would be a difficult choice, but I would choose to go out of business, rather than support and submit to a political cult that preaches and practices, “death to America, death to Americans”.”
Jeebie – Good points, but your and Caspermi’s posts reveal what the real source of the problem is: demographics. Whether it’s through votes or dollars, the reality is that greater concentration of radical Muslims means that they’ll get what they want. As you both pointed out, not catering to them may knock you out of business while those willing to give them what they want will have a niche market waiting for them. Whether or not it’s Fitness USA, someone *will* give them what they want.
It’s the same thing as what’s going on in Europe. Different countries have tried different solutions in regards to how to handle their Muslim populations, and it makes no difference in the end; they’re all left with a bunch of murderous thugs (or at least a large population of people who have no problems letting murderous thugs do their dirty work). Whether you embrace “multiculturalism” or try to crack down or try to assimilate them, it’s all just a numbers game.
It’s not that business owners in Dearborn are weak-willed. Dearborn is simply a demonstration of what’s inevitable once you get that sort of Islamic concentration.

“Here are some tips for health clubs that serve a large Muslim community:”
You have three choices:
1 – Change the nature of your business to a porn shop.
2 – Sell your business to AIPAC or any other pro-Israel group.
3 – Keep your business and as a business owner you can set rules and regulations which might include:
a) A Dress Code (Hijab-Niqab-Sari, etc. are not allowed). Only jogging clothes or shorts (for example) are allowed.
b) A Behavioral, Attitude Code (which includes forbidding prayers, horse playing, loud talking, or anything that has nothing to do with the purpose of your business whether it’s religious or not).
c) Customers have to sign an agreement before paying for membership or for a one day pass. If they don’t follow the rules, they will be asked to leave and their membership must be canceled.

Well, some Catholics in France have devised a brilliant method for preventing conversion of their churches into mosques. The sprinkle or paint bigs blood on or inside the building. After that, the Muslims are not interested.
So, Fitness USA, just head down to the local butcher and get some. Here’s a potential new product: pigs blood mixed, in small amounts, into regular paint. Kind of like my favorite camping product “Off”, but for Muslims.

sonomaca on December 7, 2006 at 11:15 am

Correction: that’s “pigs” not “bigs”.
BTW: if Conyers, Pelosi, and Ellison get HR288 and other, similar measures through, I won’t be able to write what I just wrote. The police would haul me away, just as they now do in Canada, the UK, Norway, Sweden, Italy, France, and Spain. Charge: hate speeech or inciting racial hatred.

this comment from Dan says it all:
Whether you embrace “multiculturalism” or try to crack down or try to assimilate them, it’s all just a numbers game.
Here in Dearborn, we have essentially lost this numbers game. And we’ve lost it to a group of people who have no intention of assimilating into Western culture. We have hundreds of Arabic-only store signs. We have one of the nation’s largest mosques. Public schools have embraced Dhimmitude and now offer girls-only gym classes and send home a code of conduct book in English and Arabic. Advertisers put up Arabic-only billboards. Dearborn has become, in the space of about 50 years, an ever-expanding middle-eastern colony in the heart of southeastern Michigan. I’d gladly provide pictures of these things if people want to see them.
Some of these people are decent, but there is a multitude of intolerant, aggressive, violently anti-Semitic throwbacks.
Let this city be a lesson to the rest of the nation (none of my friends in other states understand the scene here). This is what happens when local governments bend over backward to be PC. This is what happens when immigration from terrorist-harboring countries goes unchecked.
