Questions Arise over Fitness for Muslim Women and Potential Discrimination in Moscow
In a series of recent statements on his Telegram channel, Russian publicist Roman Antonovsky has expressed his concern about the legality of a newly opened halal fitness centre in Moscow. The fitness centre, which caters specifically to the Muslim community, has been promoted on social media and is located within the city.
Antonovsky, known for his outspoken opinions, has drawn a parallel between the legality of the halal fitness centre and discriminatory housing ads. He questions the inconsistency in Moscow court rulings, especially in light of a case where the Nikulin District Court of Moscow deemed a job posting for a housekeeper "only of Slavic appearance" discriminatory and ordered the removal of the webpage.
The main mission of the fitness centre, as stated in a social media post, is to improve women's health while respecting religious values and using permitted methods. The post includes an image of a mannequin in a niqab, further highlighting the centre's focus on the Muslim community.
Antonovsky, however, sees the opening of the fitness centre as potential religious discrimination. He has used the term "haram" to express his disapproval of the existence of halal fitness centres. The publicist has also quoted a social media post stating that caring for one's body is a form of worship in Islam, suggesting that such centres should be inclusive and accessible to all.
Despite the fitness centre's legality, Antonovsky has continued to voice his opinions about the issue. He has compared the legality of halal fitness centres to discriminatory housing ads, expressing confusion about the Moscow court's handling of cases involving discrimination. His latest statements reiterate his concern about potential religious discrimination in the opening of halal fitness centres.
However, as of now, there are no relevant search results identifying the name of the court that most recently ruled on the constitutionality of a certificate issued "only Slavic" for a domestic worker. This lack of information adds to the complexity of the issue and underscores the need for further discussion and clarity.
