Muslim Hours at Municpal Swimming Pools in the West
I simply fail to understand the big question on the swimming pool and fail to see that to date we do not have seem to have come to realise that when you look around, the elites have their own clubs and they do not want other to come to their clubs leave aside the pool. The tables are for the elite, the glasses are for elite, the games are for the elite as the fees to the clubs are set high. The poor cannot afford the club gates.
I thank you
