An athlete should not be asked to choose between engaging in healthy sporting activities and her deeply held religious beliefs Too bad Christians can't get the same consideration in this country. There should be a barf alert on this one

USF - the school that collaborated with Sami al Arian - providing safe haven to terrorists for 25 years. This school is a threat to national security.

I swear I think I'll send my degree back to USF if they cave on this. Alma Mater no more.

What is the Muslim viewpoint on a girl playing basketball? Just what I was thinkin'...
Also, not all Muslim women wear headscarves, so, as far as I know, it's not a requirement.

In accordance with muslim beliefs her coach should beat her for insolence. Also she should not play sports in accordance with muslim beliefs.
The Christian cherry pickers (people who pick out which parts they'll believe) were amusing. The muslim cherry pickers are just plain silly.

Funny. Before 9/11 I can't remember Muslims making a big issue of this. Looks like aiming for victimhood to me. Either that or it's an in-your-face thing.

"University of South Florida will ask the NCAA to grant an exemption to its uniform policy by allowing a Muslim player to wear Islamic clothing on the basketball court. "
This week just can't get any funnier for news stories. I'm busting a gut over this!
