Respect Muslims: No Shorts At Six Flags
Christians attend theme parks. Will they address modesty issues when we come? No. Will they stop gay day celebrations because we come? No. Muslims come and hey… put on those pants.
It s Muslim Day at Six Flags Magic Mountain on Saturday and Santa Clarita resident A.J. Jones is curious to know if the park hosted other religious events in the past. This is Magic Mountain s first year hosting Muslim Family day. It is far from its first time hosting a religious event said park spokeswoman Sue Carpenter. “I think it s great as long as they open it up to everyone ” said Jones whose friend works at the park. Jones is concerned the park s supervisors asked the employees to wear pants Saturday to cover their legs despite the unusually high heat. “I think its kind of strange ” Jones said. “It s been so hot for pants.” But Carpenter said not to worry. “Out of respect we request the employees wear their uniform pants instead of their shorts ” Carpenter said. “It is only a request it is not mandatory.”
