Douglas Murray calls on Guardian to ‘go for all mosques’ after Garrick Club reporting

Author Douglas Murray has called on The Guardian to “go for all the mosques” in the United Kingdom after they targeted the Garrick Club for having male-only membership.

The Garrick Club – a gentlemen’s club in London – voted on Tuesday to allow women to join for the first time.

It followed a row that had bitterly divided its male-only membership.

“There were some people going on about segregated spaces and so on; well, I’ve got a challenge for them, and, indeed, a challenge for The Guardian: if you’re worried about sex-segregated spaces, why don’t you go to mosques up and down the United Kingdom and elsewhere and find rooms that women are not allowed to go into,” Mr Murray told Sky News host Rita Panahi.

“They should go, and they should make sure that all of these male-only areas in mosques are having women introduced to them.

“After the Garrick, go for all of the mosques in the UK, and good luck, guys, you’re going to need it.”
