Jblog, these women aren’t asking for a little privacy. They are asking that all the students and faculty at Harvard surrender to the requirements of islam. If these women don’t want to exercise around men, they don’t have to. Neither Harvard, nor islam, requires that they exercise in that gym.
Had Mormon students asked Harvard to segregate the gym because they didn’t like to be near people who drink coffee while they exercise, they would have been laughed off campus.
This is fear, pure and simple. Islamic women are asking for special treatment at Harvard and expect to be accomodated (and in fact were accomodated) because their fellow muslims are willing to kill infidels at the slightest provocation. Anyone who pretends it is other than that, is lying.
