Universities appease Muslims and allow gender segregation is it time to tell Muslims

Have you actually read the article? It doesn't even say the words Muslim or Islam anywhere in this article... You are making the assumption that this is about Islam.. If you have any evidence that this assumption is correct i would like to see this before you drag a religion through the mud that has nothing to do with this.

Toilets and changing areas are the grey area. Not only that, but they serve their purpose to each person in less than five minutes. Lectures are not to be compared to changing rooms and toilets, where presumably people expose their genitals and it's probably easier to cope if you are that same gender. Maybe rapes happen in toilets. We have some places with unisex changing at places such as some pools.

I don't think we should be appeasing a bunch of medieval, desert mongerer attitudes in this country, certainly in somewhere like a lecture theatre. What next? All women wear burkas. There are countries which already do this, if you want to live in a society which does this please go to a country which already does it it is not wanted in this country thank you very much.

I am not making the assumption we all know it the article doesn't because it is a left news sources here are other sources that confirm the obvious who is as backwards to want to segregate men and women for debates

'Among the events highlighted in the Student Rights report was a gender-segregated event at UCL on March 9. The lecture, Islam vs Atheism, was organised by the Islamic Education and Research Academy (IERA)

I could not have said it better myself Snagprophet funny how Muslims love to impose their backward ideas on us and think their culture should take precedence outrageous to set women back centuries to appease them

Typical. I'll just ignore this unrelated, IQ dropping response.

Your issue is that, when you think of segregation, you think "Islamic" and thus your Islamophobic senses begin to tingle and you feel it's your duty to oppose it.

Rather than looking at the idea itself, its practicality, usefulness and need etc. and opposing it for self-thought critical based objections.

Now that was kinda racist to be honest... no it's actually not funny "how Muslims love to impose their backward ideas on us" Don't base your views of religion on a few people of that religion! You are making generalisations which to be honest aren't true for most muslims. Yeah some groups of muslims are extreme in their beliefs and impose their views on people but don't impose YOUR backwards view of a religion on all muslims.

You can't say "it's a grey area", or "it's used for 5 minutes" (time isn't a factor here), or "people can't cope with other genitals" as a counter argument, as it has no basis to even begin with.

I am fed up with people saying if you criticise Islam you are racist. For a start Islam is not a race, a race is e.g. black, white, asian, american indian etc Islam is an ideology and we should always be free to criticise ideologies and ideas even religious ones particularly ones that are against British values

I don't really understand what the big fuss is. The only people that would be affected by this are the people that choose to attend events held my Muslim societies i.e Muslims, and if they're the ones that want it, why are we objecting on their behalf?
