Taxpayer-funded Texas waterpark announces "Muslim only event" on June 1st

It would be interesting to see them try to enforce it.

They can't do it by checking fer a circumcision.

I wonder what the percentage of urine is?

I'm am not putting face in that pool water

Legally. Excluding persons based on religion is generally frowned upon by the legal community.

The facility is owned by the city of Grand Prairie, TX and is operated by American Resort Management also of Grand Prairie.

As for the rules, it's likely no different from a church that holds their weekly services in a public school or other municipal facility.

Taxpayer-funded Texas waterpark announces 'Muslim only' day featuring modest dress and Halal-slaughtered meat
A taxpayer-funded Texas waterpark has sparked backlash by organizing a Muslim-only day to celebrate Eid.
Epic Waters in Grand Prairie, Texas drew outrage this week as it released fliers for the June 1 event, which will demand a 'modest dress code' and serve only Halal-slaughtered meat.

Posters for the event say it will be 'for Muslims only' to create a 'family-friendly environment', with tickets starting at $55 each.

The waterpark's website notes that men and women will not be separated during the event, but attendees are told to 'uphold Islamic etiquette' by 'lowering the gaze' throughout the day.

Huh, my biggest question is why is there a tax payer funded water park to start with?

IMHO Texas is the most overrated "free" red state.

All things considered I bet it's more peaceful than their Juneteenth celebration and with 87% less twerking.

It is owned by the city.

Imagine the women trying to swim and breath in whatever those things they wear are called in Afghanistan.

You do know that not all Muslims abide by those rules, right?

No kidding. Never seen one in my travels to Muslim countries though I've seen a lot of hijabs etc. In fact, the only time I've ever seen one was in downtown Prague but I haven't been to Paris or London since 1977. Spooky

How about a white's only day?

 

[Meathead]

How about a white's only day?

Every day is whites only where I live. Incidentally (I'm sure), very low crime rates.

 

[Zincwarrior]

How about a white's only day?

You know there are many many Muslims who would be called "white" don't you? I guess not.

Evidently the park was rented out by a private entity. Big deal.
