Unfortunately she has to wear a full hijab.

Ruqaya Al Ghasra will have her 11.39 seconds of fame tomorrow. Al Ghasra, who is from the tiny Kingdom of Bahrain, will become the first Arab woman ever to run the 100 meters at the Olympics.
...
she runs fully covered from head to toe
...
The Bahrain Olympic Committee thinks her wardrobe might prove to be less of a problem if they can entice Nike to tackle the problem.

Get your new Nike hijab at The Gap this fall :roll:

Oh, was your roll-eye friendly?

:p

No, it was mocking, but not hateful. In the same way I would find it silly if Rome forced female athletes to wear chastity belts :roll:

WTF - religions that dictate what people wear or eat are moronic. I guess the people that decide to follow them are too... Oh well.

You realize you're calling most religions of the world moronic don't you?

care to retract the generalization? (If I were you I'd go gonzo and just let it stand, you bad boy)

I'm not going to retract it. It's 2004. Not to mention wearing head-to-toe clothing probably isn't going to help much in the aerodynamic department.

I agree with the rich man to a point.

WTF would God, Allah or insert your Gods name here really give a flying flip if someone ate a nice slow cooked BBQ pulled pork sandwich dripping with hot sauce?


Did Allah say if a woman showed her face in public to beat her? Fvck no, it was some inbred cleric that came up with that crap. The Qur'an says modest attire, not a full body suit.

I am sure he realizes that.

And I agree with him.

God doesen't care what you eat or what you wear. The mere idea is ridiculous.
