Womens only sections or gyms are there because too many guys hit on women at the gym though, so I believe it is different than segregation for religious reasons.
Human rights should come before religious beliefs. If your religious beliefs are that extreme then maybe you should not live in a country where we promote equality and multi-culturalism? I'm not saying that because he is Muslim; I would have the same response for a white person who did not want to be in the same room as a person of a different (insert race, religion, gender, sexual orientation).
