The exact factual representation isn't the issue here, the underlying message is. If you are prepared to characterize half a billion Europeans as pedophiles and calling them sick fucks, based on a single court case involving a Muslim family that has nothing with pedophilia itself, you could expect more vicious attacks on all Muslims, yes even based on actual examples, where pedophilia is not only sanctioned by society, like the old guy and the little girl from Afghanistan or Pakistan in the picture, but even legally permissible. (Yemen, Iran).
A more revengeful person could even drag the prophet of Islam in its response regarding Aisha......
Keep it civil and don't indulge in unnecessary racist slurs. If one does not have the abilities to respond in a more intelligent and decent manner, like Razpak, the best thing to do is to remain silent.
Upon further reading it appears your skepticism is justified. I jumped too fast to conclusion, thinking it was the same, but this is indeed a different case, so I stand corrected. This incident took place in another federal state.
I was mistaken. I could vaguely remember this particular case, it has striking similarities with the current one. A Muslim girl of the same age, pressured by her parents, not wanting to take part of mixed swimming lessons, and a ruling that is partially based on the same arguments by the court, dismissed in favor of the school.
Nevertheless I agree with the courts' ruling, based on their arguments.
The issue isn't confined to Germany alone, there appear to be cases in other European countries as well.
Here is one from Switzerland:
Muslim girls must swim with boys: Swiss court
Published: 27 Mar 2012
A Muslim family in Basel has been fined 1,400 francs ($1,550) for refusing to let its daughters participate in mixed swimming classes.
The family had sought to avoid paying the fine on the grounds that the requirement for the girls to join the swimming lesson infringed on their religious freedom, online news website Le Matin reported.
The parents argued that, in accordance with the teachings of the Koran, they wanted to instil a sense of shame in their children before they reached puberty. Mixed swimming lessons in primary school, the family claimed, would be incompatible with such an aim.
Following the family’s appeal of the original Administrative Court verdict, the Federal Court decided to uphold the fine. The court stated that the obligation to participate in mixed swimming classes did not represent a significant assault on the family’s religious freedom.
The upper court said it agreed with the Administrative Court's view that there was a “substantial public interest that all children take swimming lessons”.

; the blame lies with the parents cause I don't think a 12 year old girl born and raised in Germany would have that much problem with bare chested 12 year boys in a swimming class but it's the parents that have the problem with bare chested 12 year boys in a swimming class and if it was so then they shouldn't have put her in a co-ed school or in a school with compulsory swimming lessons or they should have stayed back in Morocco instead of asking for special favors or bending of rules for them
