Hmmmm...let take this idea of Muslim womens athletic gear one step furher. How about this idea for an interesting new sport to watch on say a newly resurrected "ABC's Wide World of Sports?"

Let's call this sport "Sharia Rules Womens Volleyball."

Of course the referee would be obligated under Islamic law and custom to decapitate any female body part or appendage that becomes exposed during play. If the female player's ankle is exposed while spikng the volleyball, off with her offending foot. If a player's hijab falls off during an extended volley and reveals her face to the spectators, well...then off with her head.

Of course, leave it to Nike to capitalize and perpetuate the denigration and repression of women in the Arab and Islamic world.

This is all too similar to Google and Yahoo! snitching out dissidents to the Chionese communists just for the opportunity to make a fast buck via China's internet. Pathetic.

This is a prime example of PC-multiculturalism run amok. Politically correct corporations like Nike design and sell products that only perpetuate the 3rd class status of Muslim women while making a profit at the same time.

Vladimir Lenin was a communist monster and despot but perhaps he did have a kernal of truth when he infamously stated "The Capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them."

Sadly enough, corporations like Nike, Google, Yahoo!, etc. only reinforce Lenin's maxim. What Nike is doing is making Sharia Law more palatable to the Western World.

I hope it is made from pork.....

We need a picture of this one. It has to be a garbage bag with twist ties at the corners.

"Muslim Athletic Wear"?

Head-Chopping, Torture, Terrorism, Rape, Murder, Impaling, Honor Killing, etc etc etc.

Sure sounds like a fun day at the sports stadium, doesn't it?

"The idea is that your modesty in dress and behavior is a passport to public space," Taylor said. "It makes the statement that a Muslim woman's body is not a part of the public conversation."

I am really coming to hate these people. They act like all men are rabid dogs who can't control themselves around women, and as if women as just a bunch of lust inducing c*nts. Sorry, but that is what they act like.

I myself am very modest, in fact I'm a gosh darned prude. To borrow a phrase, I don't do naked, I don't even do under-dressed. But this muslim idea that a man can't see any part of a woman's body without going hog (sorry!) wild, and she can't show any part of her body without being a slut. Ridiculous.

The more I learn about Islam the more I become convinced it is nothing but a brain washing cult of oppression, depression, supression, murder, bitterness, hatred, and death.

pigskin-less footballs?

[toddlintown]

What kind of athletic gear do you really need to dead lift a sheep?

[truth_seeker]

Sports costumes for Muslims:

Complete with blood stains?

[Das Outsider]

But don't look for such specialized gear at your local mall or sporting-goods store just yet.

The Islamic section in my local sporting goods store is quite paltry. Apparently sabres are not a hot item this time of year.

A Danish company called Capsters produces a similar product...

Hmm.

"In another 15 years there's going to be a sizeable Muslim consumer market and lots of demand," she said. "I think we're where the Hispanic market was 20 years ago, and today the Hispanic market is a big consumer market."

So everything will be written in Arabic, too?

"There's also a contingency of Christian women and Jewish women and others who just don't feel that they need to show their bodies. Other women are striving to be modest as well."

Yes, but they are not compelled to do so upon penalty of beating.

[CROSSHIGHWAYMAN]

Face it.......Muslims treat their women like dogs.......

and for good reason.....they are dogs!!

[ThinkDifferent]

Some female Muslims are choosing to ignore the misogynist dictates:

This is very good, for a number of reasons...

[LoudRepublicangirl]

Now if they can just create muslims that don't cramp my style.

[goldstategop]

There's a market for modest clothing that's also fashionable and comfortable. Not every woman wants to look like a half-naked streetwalker in public. And not just by any means only Muslim women.

Whither art thou?

[rawcatslyentist]

">The Koran requires women to cover everything except their faces, hands, and feet.>"

The Koranus requires a lot of Shiite!

Like murdering anyone that doesn't believe exactly what you believe!

Beating your 4 wives!

Even how and why to dunk houseflys in your coffee!

Yeah their "religion" is better than every one else's, because they say so!

Shania................Sharia. Which would you chose?

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Look, this clothing thing sounds fine to me. If muslims want to be covered up during sports, that's OK. Now, about the whole World Domination Through Sharia thing, on the other hand...

[Joe Boucher]

Hey National Geographic, and Muslims the world wide, F-you.

[Ptarmigan]

That's really messed up.
