Sorry Margaret it was my light hearted way of agreeing with you,:alright:

It seems OK for muslim women to cycle as long as their leg movements are concealed.

Iran plans to make special bicycles for women - Monsters and Critics

Iran plans to make special bicycles designed for women that will be compatible with Islamic regulations and not expose their body movements while riding, the newspaper Iran reported Thursday.The new bicycle would have a cabin to cover half of a rider's body

A bit like pealing an orange in your pocket;)

Re: Born again Virgins
 

Yes, Margaret...the salient words here are 'plans to make'....so they don't yet exist. And in all my years i have not seen a muslim woman cycling, horse riding or participating in any kind of gymnastic sport.
I just wondered if Restless had seen any of these things.

Re: Born again Virgins
 

In a conversation last week, someone mentioned that Muslims considered was lower class to do too much exercise. Just repeating this .. don't know ... but was in a conversation about Muslims abroad, etc.

Just wondered also if perhaps some of these Muslim women may have had sex 'thrown upon them' at some time ?

Re: Born again Virgins
 

I have gone to different gyms in the past Kate......there have always been muslim men present, but I have never seen muslim women exercising.

It seems to the outsider,(me) that muslim men may pursue their sex drives as they wish, but muslim women are supposed to remain 'clean'.........a case of double standards.

Re: Born again Virgins
 

I always thought muslim women should be a bit bigger as it was a status of wealth, you know, being able to eat richly and all that. I bit like the Tudor period? I am terrible with history but I'm sure kings used to like to be bigger for the same reason!?

Re: Born again Virgins
 

That is part of what I've been trying to say all along:rolleyes:

Re: Born again Virgins
 

I could just imagine a Muslim Lass during the 60's, sorry Miss I didn't bring my gym kit, my hymen wouldn't let me.

Lets stop being so soft, if she goes out and has intercourse it's up to her to put it right, not the rest of us!

Re: Born again Virgins
 

You are correct - You are useless at history.:hidewall::D:D

Re: Born again Virgins
 

The size of the spread and the amount of courses served was in a way the same as people who collect expensive sports cars. An austintatious display of wealth and power. The Tudor period was bad for it but thayt was surpassed in the Georgian years thanks to exotic foods from abroad.

Re: Born again Virgins
 

I agree with you Less on this one ;)

If you were a millionaire, would you be 50 stone?

Re: Born again Virgins
 

Mostly right on the Tudor thing ... and throughout the Middle Ages too .... being hefty was a sign of wealth of the individual porker. Now you can work out, be slim and trim, and show off your wealth by driving a Ferrari. Admittedly, Henry Vlll was a big guy ... but he might have come by this through his mother, the Duchess of York. Edward lV, his ancestor, was also a big man. Though it is possible that his size, compared to that of his brother, Richard lll, was a result of his mother's screwing around.
