The most ridiculous locker room rule

[gideon99]

In my experience there are as many variations of Mulsim dogma as there are of Christian dogma so unless there is a dominance of the more extreme sects there will be little or no difference.

Recently had to remind someone that the lockerroom isn’t church…he was going on and on about how nudity was ‘ Not Christian’ and ‘ the Bible tells us’ and all sorts of teachings about shame…
Several of us told him to patronize the local Y which has gone to changing stalls in all locker rooms…no nudity permitted at all!

Kindly read my statement to understand the context. I am not saying one religion to be better or bad than the other. Just stating that Muslims areas tend to be more against same sex nudity even in confined space compared to areas where other religions are majority and I have lived all over the world. Europe and even southern states of US where Christianity is majority tends to be lax with nudity of men in common and confined spaces like locker room. Muslim majority areas on other hand (except Turkey’s famed Hamam) tend to push for no public nudity even if it’s locker room.

I agree with what you have written here.
However, I read your statement in the context of the quote to which you were replying, which implied to me that, in multicultural countries, the areas with a higher Muslim proportion might impose less nudity-tolerant rules locally. I was not considering the case of Muslim-dominated countries.

Maybe a good idea would be to just wear a t-shirt in the showers and that way you can say that you are not naked.

 

[coolestguy]

Does

Does your area have lot of Muslim people?
Often these guys are very strict about no nudity and tend to enforce it if their population becomes majority

I don't think so.

Or just wear condom and say you're covered.

You have reminded me of a bit of dialogue from an early Muppet Show:
"The comedian's a bear.
No he's not, he's a-wearing a necktie."

Yes! a tie in the showers. Of course!
