I do agree a bad advert was made with the parent-and-toddler session, but it was basically a womens-only pool and here we have this man fighting for his right to jump in with the ladies just because he has a kid with him.

C'mon, take her to another co-ed pool! I'm darn sure she wasn't barred because its for MUSLIM women, it was barred because a man wanted to accompany a young woman.

Some Muslim women consider showing their hair as nudity, and this man wants to see them in bathing suits? Do you not see a problem in this like a normal person not charged with a political agenda?
