Race discrimination

[mitch66]

you wouldn't expect a christian to do a run on a sunday

Do you honestly think that?

for religious reasons. they are entitled to follow their religion. just as everybody should be. the day we revoke religious freedoms is not a day i want to see.

But those freedoms must never, ever, be allowed to trump civil ones provided for in law.

A medical professional refusing to carry out a legal medical procedure because of "religious" objections? F--- off, you're fired.

A registrar refusing to do same sex marriages, ditto? Ditto.

We live in a secular society, not a religious theocracy.

did anybody ask the women if they wanted to take part? i assume they don't because they are muslim too and they also follow the same religion. you wouldn't expect a christian to do a run on a sunday, or a jew to do one during shabbat.

I would expect them to be allowed to if they wanted.

Expect them to
No not if they did not want to which is some what different to banning them or not asking or allowing them to take part

My op any way

so should we be banning womens charities? or any of the other things that cater only to women? why does nobody complain about those?

There was an insurance company for women only

It was complained about, and was stopped by law.

There’s no excuse for crimes carried out by those that shouldn’t be in this country in the first place so stop trying to excuse these savages.

There's no excuse for crimes committed by the indigenous citizens neither.
No-one is excusing any crimes.
Having an understanding of why crimes are committed, is very different to 'excusing' those crimes.
That is why UK has trials and pre-sentencing reports.
For instance, a hungry young mother stealing £10 worth of food is very different to a scam artist trying to obtain a tenner, which me may or may not need, under pretext of a wager won, from a fellow member of a social media site.
Wouldn't you agree?

Yes, but it wasn't like that originally, which was the point

...

The law allows private events to more or less to set their own rules.
We don't have the information about how participants were invited.
I've participated in a fun run, that was only open to members of the organisation that operated that event. Needless to say, it was only open to people of working age.
For instance, if it was limited to members of one specific (or a group of similar) religious establishments, then the general public would not have the option of participating.
it was just a fundraising event. I don't know what the funds were destined for.

But I would take the opportunity to draw the parallel with the government's intervention in this event, and the proposed banning of Maccabi Tel Aviv football fans.
In this event they tried to intervene because some (potential) participants were not allowed to participate, although we don't know if there were any, and their criticism was about sexism.
Whereas the government's intervention was way OTT, in supporting the presence of (potential) football hooligans in the local Tel Aviv derby, on the basis of avoiding potential riots, and the accusation was of anti Semitism.
