Dear Somalia
I have a better idea. If the teachings of Islam are such that it is improper for men to mingle with women while swimming, ban the men from swimming at the main beach. I mean, surely that would be just as effective, no? Or have separate times for men and women to swim.
But that would mean that you were simply concerned with upholding your religious beliefs and not at all with privileging men over women. Which, of course, isn't the case.
Feh.
