Iranian women’s soccer team forfeits 2012 qualifier over head scarves
Yahoo ^ | June 6, 2011 | Brooks Peck

Posted on 06/06/2011 9:22:30 PM PDT by ConservativeStatement

The Iranian women's soccer team was in tears after being forced to forfeit a 2012 London Olympics qualifying match this past weekend because it showed up to play in hajibs. FIFA banned the Islamic head scarf in 2007, saying that it could cause choking injuries -- the same reason it gave for recently banning snoods (neck warmers). FIFA also has strict rules against any religious statements in team uniforms.

“It’s just a shame these women were put in the middle of this debate between Iran’s federation and FIFA and set up for disappointment.”

Interesting comment. Just who put these women in “the middle of this debate”?

It must be the women themselves, in their life-long quest for modesty...at least that’s what they ALWAYS tell us. But then they couldn’t put themselves into the middle of this little ruckus...as it takes three parties for one to be in the middle.

You wouldn’t think that the MEN in Iran are the third party, would you? Why this would mean that the women are essentially slaves...and they would never agree with that conclusion (publicly).

Follow the ideology of a pedophile, pay for it all your life.

the accursed pedophile muhammed is spending his afterlife in hell, sucking the members of pigs specially put there by Satan. Because God doesn’t like evil.

Id they had a single brain cell they would toss off the hajibs and the ideology of their pedophile “prophet.”

Glad someone is doing something to impede the spread of Islam. Too bad it wasn’t the US/UK/et all government. Oh well, one piece at a time.

And speaking of pieces, I’m not doubting for a second that the corporate HQ will end up bombed or one or more of the employees gets kidnapped/killed over this. It’s pathetic that such will need to happen - repeatedly, before the public at large wake the hell up to the threat.

I am truly astounded by the comments of freepers here who should know better. This headscarf crap is forced on these Iranian women. On their own the majority if not all of these young women would not be wearing these symbols of mullacracy and oppression — just take a good look at the Iranian community in exile and show me how many are wearing the veil. It frustrates me that even here so many fellow freepers don’t realize who are the good guys and who are the bad guys in Iran.

So long as the entrapment is in their minds, no.

This is clear — it is slavish devotion to an ideology that should be dead.

FIFA allowed a uniform that fits the ideology of the pedophile-followers’ death mindset. The decision to not take advantage of that is because they are stupid. Or so cowed they are no longer what we would call “human.” Just cattle in the pedophile’s followers’ cattle pen.

Have some compassion for these poor women people.
///
1) why do photos of Muslim countries, decades ago, show most women not wearing head coverings?
because it is a recent requirement, started by the Muslim brotherhood, and other Islamists.
2) those women belong to a religion, that advocates killing non-believers. that says the most perfect man who should be emulated, had sex with a 9 year old girl, when he was 53. that had sex with a captive widow. (widowed, because his men had just killed her husband). and much much more.

the women you wish compassion for, teach their SONS to emulate this man, and follow this religion.

3) remember the recent killings in Israel of that family, including the baby? would those women you want compassion for, show compassion for that Jewish family? or would they praise the killings? (...i know how i’d bet...)
4) and even if they are slaves, simply doing what the men want out of fear, they are still part of the expansion of Islam.
Cossack Ivan Sirko understood this.
He had compassion for the freed Christians who wanted to return to their homes, in Muslim lands. Sirko had compassion for them. but he KILLED them anyway. because he understood, the harsh reality, that demographics is destiny.

So, is that from where you make this demand?

Ir is impossible to be a “good muslim.” That is like being a “good Satan worshipper.” It is an ideology based in evil, founded from evil, created by an evil person. Its entire purpose is to destroy all in its path (you may note that there has been not a single islamic invention in a thousand years).

The best one can be is a “stupid muslim” who does not understand the chains under which one labors.

/// that is the whole entire point to the original article!

wearing that head covering, is them arguing their Islamic theology, instead of simply PLAYING SOCCER.

“FIFA also has strict rules against any religious
statements in team uniforms.”

(and, i certainly don’t hate Muslims either. many of them are good people, with families. i was (and am) personal friends with many of them.
i only hate Islam, which enslaves them, and endangers freedom all over the world.)

...again, they are chosing to violate FIFA rules, over something that is NOT mandatory in Islam.
allowing it, is akin to letting ONE religion pray in schools, and no others.

I stand corrected. The suggestion that an open discussion of the most evil ideology in recorded human history should somehow be dispatched to “offline” was rather rude.

But understandable.

I apologize for misunderstanding your request.

adults can make their own decisions.

If the islamic singularthink had held sway in the 1700’s there would be no USA — just British colonies paying tribute to a distant and self-indulgent king.

But today, we are supposed to let people bow to their islam masters and just say “well, they never knew better.”

This is racism in its most primitive form. That grown-up people can’t see beyond the hate they are taught from childhood is simple bias against Arabs and muslims as being unable to think. The soft racism of lowered expectations.

That is why I call these players stupid. They have brains, yet they will not think.

and, my #12, wasn’t arguing anything either.
that wasn’t my “opinion”.
everything there, can be documented.
including directly from Islam itself.
the ages, etc., come straight out of ahadith.

again, i don’t hate Muslims.
i have special compassion for the women.
but “compassion” for them, will never set them free.

THAT is my wish for them. that one day, they can be FREE of Islam.
FREEDOM to be more than the literal property of a man.

Stomping on Islam is just fine with me. I don’t care what the gender. They are teaching their 5 and 6 year old boys how to kill you and blow you up. It was in fact a girl that wore a bomb onto a Israeli bus and killed everyone aboard. These are wicked people.

I'll stand with you on this because wearing the headscarf is NOT a part of Islamic Law...just as you've stated. France just won banning the habjabery thingy for that very same reason. It isn't part of Islamic Law for woman either.

My daughter played high school volleyball against Dearborn High School. The Muslim players wore sweatsuits with volleyball jerseys over the sweatsuit and a hajib.

Bridget said she always tried to hit the ball in the direction of one of the Muslim girls because they were more concerned about keeping the hajib on than returning the ball.

Haven’t you been watching what’s been happening in Syria, the puppet minions of the mafiosfascist terrorists occupying Iran?

and i gave you SPECIFICS,

she was LITERALLY shaking in fear. because if her parents knew she was dating me, and going to Christian church with me, she might have been KILLED. reality.

i wanted her FREE of that. i want ALL women free of that.

Allmost...those woman are not trapped. It isn’t Islamic Law to wear the scarf or the habjab. They brought this on themsleves knowing full well this would be an issue. I would bet money the Muslim community will now take this to court....which is why they have the woman wear these to begin with. It has nothing to do with purity or any of the crap they try to sell people. They are using the woman’s head dress etc. just as they always have and will do until it’s outlawed....it precedes their agenda...and to clarify...the woman know well it is a symbol of Islam conquering a nation. That is why they send woman to other countries. There dress is a constant encouragement to the Islamic agenda...like planting a country’s flag in another nation.

that blind girl, was a US citizen with a Master’s degree. she said SHE thought Islam was evil. that she didn’t believe in it. she said she was impressed by Christ, who was a God of love, for ALL people. and she said that she wanted to marry me and have a baby.

...instead, she told me goodbye.

and said this, as her reason (forever branded in my mind):

“Now they are watching me more closely than ever”.

now multiply her, by MILLIONS of women all over the world, who are LITERALLY considered the property of men.

THAT is why Islam must be destroyed. it IS evil.

You are lacking in understanding the Islamic agenda in our country Allmost. Have compassion on the woman all you want but understand their agenda is to kill all who do not submit to Islam...and the woman support that agenda entirely.

No longer can Muslims say they have to remain in their homelands and take the heat from their governments. The world has certainly opened their borders to them in every respect, but they have and will not assimulate to the cultures they are in, quite the opposite they are reqruitng our kids and people to their religion...which is what their agenda is...it’s political Allmost...not religious.

It is NOT mockery and derision. It is analysis and conclusion.

It is impossible for the ideology of the pedophile prophet and freedom to co-exist. If Iran wants to throw off its collective chains, it must first throw off the chains of its worship of Satan’s minion.

Otherwise it just substitutes one set of evil chains for another.

Evil is evil — dancing around the definition doesn’t change a thing.
