I'm really scratching my head on this one. Note that the park has since removed the "islamically appropriate clothing" restriction from the event description on its website, but I still don't understand exactly what they were trying to accomplish. A "ladies only" night is fine, but you can't claim it's "not specific to any ethnic or religious group" while asking everyone to dress in accordance with a specific religion.

Sounds like fun.  I'm waiting for the jock-strap only night later this Summer or maybe the tube-sock crotch themed one.  Haven't decided.

There, now. All prim and  proper. No one is offended; all are happy. Peace in our time in our time in our time in our time     

Note that following the controversy, the park has since removed the part about "islamically appropriate clothing" from the event info on its website...

Apparently, the event had "teething problems."
