Championing someone's rights and liberties when they are in opposition to your views is not hypocritical. Demanding your own rights and trying to strip someone else of theirs is hypocritical.
IMO a business's rights trump those of the people they serve. If you don't want to bake a cake for someone that is gay, christian, muslim or because you think they look funny that should be your choice. The only exception to this should be utilities/monopolies.
I advocate for the second amendment. There is a convenience store near me that put up a sign that said no guns, not only do I support their right to do this but I also encourage it. I don't spend any money at that store anymore and considering the sign only lasted about 2 weeks I suspect there is lot of other people that don't either.
I agree and if this park want's a Muslim day, that should be their prerogative also.
I pointed out that nearly half of UK Muslims don't think it is out of mainstream for a UK Muslim cleric to preach violence against the West in regards to problems of assimilation in the West. You respond with Jesus flipping over a table...
Those preachers preach that violence against infidels is warranted through a literal reading of their holy words where martyrs get babes in heaven.
Absurd of you to bring up a flipped over table.
I showed where Jesus wasn't against violence when necessary.
What's interesting is the Muslim countries that either ban the use, or discourage the use of Head Scarves, primarely full covering, but sometimes even partial. They realize the head coverings, and specifically full face covering like the Niqab is Politically driven, and a threat.
In the west we should acknowledge that if the experts view this as a threat to their secular society we should take heed and do the same.
Ex:
"Morocco
The headscarf is not encouraged by governmental institutions. In 2005, a schoolbook for basic religious education was heavily criticized for picturing female children with headscarves, and later the picture of the little girl with the Islamic headscarf was removed from the school books.[77] The headscarf is strongly and implicitly forbidden in Morocco's military and the police."
Egypt The secular government does not encourage women to wear it, fearing it will present an Islamic extremist political opposition. In the country, it is negatively associated with Salafist political activism. There has been some restrictions on wearing the hijab by the government, which views hijab as a political symbol. In 2002, two presenters were excluded from a state run TV station for deciding to wear hijab on national television
Chad
Following a double suicide on June 15, 2015 with 33 people dead in N'Djamena, the Chadian government announced June 17, 2015 banning the wearing of the burqa in its territory for security reasons
That's not what this is. A "community group" (Muslim) booked the park for a day so they could set the dress code for anyone who attends.
So? How is that any different than booking a pavilion for a wedding & making it black tie? There's no difference & you & all of the other screeches know it. Time to get a job folks.

How silly. Don't know why they are so picky about showing face in banks and Government buildings.
Neither am I.
That said, agree with them or not a private business may enact rules and regulations the government can not. A person can then choose to do business with them or not.
I'm sure you will ***** when someone decides to take advantage of providing banking services to Muslims also.
