Muslim school which objected to girls on boys soccer team told to abide by rules

TORONTO -- A Muslim high school in Ontario that complained about its boys' soccer team having to play against a team that included girls has been told it must abide by gender equity rules.

The ISNA High School, located on the outskirts of Toronto, had complained earlier this week about a soccer game in which its all-male team played against a Catholic high school whose team included two girls.

ISNA, which describes itself as a progressive co-ed independent school that strives to abide by Qur'anic injunctions, raised an objection at the game about the girls' presence on the field.

Paul Freier says the association's gender equity policy comes from the rules used by the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations.

"If a girl is good enough to play on the boys' team she can play," he said, adding that if a similar objection arose in the future, the school teams would have to decide to either play the game anyway, or default the match.

Slightly amazing.

Surprised they didn't order the girls to wear burkhas over their uniforms.

I hope there's plenty of security at the game.

“...raised an objection at the game about the girls’ presence on the field, and the girls sat out the second half.”

Sounds like the muzzies DID win that particular battle. We’ll see who wins the war.

Unfortunately, our victory is not assured...

They should also announce to the muzzies that all the girls are menstruating. That will drive the muzzies crazy.

Thereby teaching the young ladies a valuable lesson about how grown-ups will protect their rights from attack from other cultures.

I can't say that I disagree with the Muslims on this one. I've never liked the idea of co-ed sports for kids once they reach their adolescent years. A Catholic high school in Pennsylvania was the subject of a similar story within the last few months, if I recall.

More importantly, I think this points to the inevitable problems of multicultural idiocy. You're eventually going to face a situation like this where two groups of kids from incompatible cultures end up trying to play against each other in a government-run sports league.

It’s soccer. There were still girls all over the field.

Sports means nothing.

Women will compete against men in business and elections.

There need to be some. Maybe not over this issue, but there are plenty of others. And nobody except Muslims will ever stand up to the PC fanatics. So more power to them.

Isn't that nice? The muslim parents brought pressure cookers to the game, I guess were having a friendly potluck dinner after the game.

Kick them the hell out. They want everything their way and want normal people do do things their way.

Pyrrhic victory: They were down 3-1 at half time, finally lost 6-1. So they didn't suck as much when they were playing against the girls.

Torch a few cars and see if the policy holds (or simply go to a judge).
