Photo: DPAA gym in the eastern German state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania has come in for criticism after it posted a notice in its window telling ethnic minorities they weren't welcome anymore, German media reported on Thursday. The notice was posted by the Güstrow branch of the Easyfitness gym chain shortly after police arrested three suspected Islamists in the town on Wednesday. The Güstrow gym said the arrest had promoted it to ban ethnic minorities for the safety of its members. “As of immediately, no fellow citizens with a migration background are allowed to join the gym in order to protect our members,” the notice posted on Wednesday read. We dissociate ourselves clearly from such statements and, in the future, we welcome everyone,” the statement read.
