A GOOD RULING BY GERMAN COURT:
A German court ruled Wednesday that a Muslim student cannot skip co-ed swimming lessons because her religion prohibits form-fitting clothes that do not cover her body, The Local reported.
The 12-year-old girl’s parents sued a school the northern city of Remscheid after it refused to let the girl skip the lessons. The court sided with the school, saying that the state’s responsibility to educate the girl outweighed an infringement on her religious freedom.

We should allow her to seek refuge in our tolerant nation, and have her embark steerage class on the Titanic.

I thought some Muslim chick in Britain had solved that by inventing a swim suit that was ‘modest’….
