Because Terrorist Front Group CAIR is asking for people to write to the Olympic Committee to Support Hijab (Headbag) Rights for Banned Muslim Woman Weightlifter.
CAIR - (WASHINGTON, D.C., 6/8/11) — CAIR is calling on American Muslims and other people of conscience dhimmitude to ask the United States Olympic Committee (USOC) to intervene in the case of a Muslim weightlifter in Georgia who is being banned from tournaments because she wishes to compete wearing modest OPPRESSIVE Islamic attire (hijab).
Request that the Muslim athlete, 35-year-old Kulsoom Abdullah of Atlanta, Ga., be allowed to compete in the USA Weightlifting Senior Nationals to be held this July in Council Bluffs, Iowa, pending the outcome of a formal hearing on her request for reasonable religious accommodation.
CAIR is also requesting that both the USOC and USA Weightlifting advocate on her behalf — and on behalf of women of all faiths who wish to compete while wearing modest OPPRESSIVE attire — with the International Weightlifting Federation (IWF) and the International Olympic Committee (IOC). (USA Weightlifting is a United States Olympic Committee National Governing Body (NGB).)
A
bdullah, who competes in the 48kg and 53kg weight class in the women’s senior division, reported to CAIR that USA Weightlifting prevented her from participating in the American Open in December 2010 due to her desire to wear modest Islamic attire covering her hair and body with the exception of her face, hands and feet.
The ban on Abdullah’s competition has been maintained despite her requests for accommodation and her willingness to work with USA Weightlifting officials on a solution to the issue of attire that will satisfy the legitimate requirements of all parties.
Iran women’s Olympic dream crushed by dress code ruling.
Reuters- Iran’s dream of competing in the London 2012 Olympic women’s soccer tournament have been crushed by an unexpected ruling that their Islamic dress broke FIFA rules, a football federation official in Tehran said on Monday. Iran is complaining to the world soccer body after its women were banned from playing, moments before an Olympic qualifier against Jordan last week, due to their full-body strip that includes a head scarf.
FIFA’s rules for the 2012 Olympics state that: “Players and officials shall not display political, religious, commercial or personal messages or slogans in any language or form on their playing or team kits.“In order to comply with the Islamic dress code which is mandatory in the Islamic Republic, Iran’s women footballers play in full tracksuits and headcoverings that conceal their hair.
In a letter sent today to USOC Chief Executive Officer Scott Blackmun, CAIR National Executive Director Nihad Awad wrote in part:
“USA Weightlifting has apparently rejected Ms. Abdullah’s repeated requests for accommodation of her sincere religious beliefs and practices. Officials of USA Weightlifting cite International Weightlifting Federation (IWF) rules in rejecting any accommodation and in refusing to discuss a mutually-agreeable solution that would allow Ms. Abdullah to compete while maintaining her religious principles and without giving her an advantage over other competitors.
“As you know, the Ted Stevens Olympic and Amateur Sports Act requires that USA Weightlifting not discriminate based on ‘race, color, religion, sex, age, or national origin’ in order to maintain its status as a national governing body …
“No athlete should be forced to choose between faith and sport. Muslim women seek to participate in all aspects of American society, including sporting activities, and should not face artificial and arbitrary barriers to that participation.”
Awad added that this case is not occurring in isolation. Earlier this month, an Iranian women’s soccer team was barred from an Olympic qualifying match in Jordan because of the athletes’ modest attire.
IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUESTED:
Contact the United States Olympic Committee (USOC) and USA Weightlifting to request that Kulsoom Abdullah NOT be allowed to compete in the USA Weightlifting Senior Nationals to be held this July in Council Bluffs, Iowa, pending the outcome of a formal hearing on her request for UNreasonable religious accommodation.
Also request that both the USOC and USA Weightlifting DO NOT advocate on her behalf — and NOT on behalf of women of all faiths who wish to compete while wearing modest OPPRESSIVE RELIGIOUS attire — with the International Weightlifting Federation (IWF) and the International Olympic Committee (IOC). (USA Weightlifting is a United States Olympic Committee National Governing Body (NGB).)

i hate islam. to the max. to the core. it is satanic and from the bottom of hell. i hate how muslims abuse women and what life alah – satanic god – prepared for women. muslims are victims of islam in their life and mentality.
I wish hijabs niqabs and burqas were banned and punished with a fine. BUT i dont want muslim women to be deprived the fun they have in sports. their lives are turned into hell by their own god who despises humiliates degrades and limits them to the max. i dont want those women to suffer any more. when they get married they will be closed at home and bear children. islam treats wome as slaved and living incubators and men pleasers. so maybe it is all fun they have now i dont want them to be deprived of that.
Islamic women are going to have to stand as one and tell the men they will no longer be restricted in all the ways in which Islam dictates. The way in which Islamic women are oppressed, makes them slaves.
Linda, the women defend it. They are just as bad.
Ok how shallow are you, so basically what you are saying is that they should tear of their hijabs and wear something skin tight so men can look at their bodies and say oh look at her she is hot isn’t that being men pleases and objectifying women. I will give you something to remember you find pears and diamonds in the most sacred spots on this earth. They are covered up and very hard for humans to touch, so why can’t Muslim girls cover them selves. And be very hard for people to touch. Or is being loose and skanky something they should aspire to be. And FYI Islam doesn’t objectify woman, tradition does. So why don’t you go search up the meaning of the Quran, because you just proved to every one that you just listen to news reports, and to what other people think tell you.
We are saying that the bagheaded vagina virgins should stay in dar al islam along with their owners.
Displays of supremacy, such as the headbag, are not acceptable in non-mohammadan countries.
mohammadan c*nts are free to cover all they want…in dar al islam.
Not wearing bronze age arab bullshit on their heads in not “skanky.” YOU should “search up” the meaning of modesty. Modesty is not believing your head or entire body is your vagina because some bronze age arab ape said so.
And actually, you brainless mohammadan bint, you are the one who
“listens only to what other people tell you to think.” The proof is the fact that you belong to and defend a bronze age cult. Anyone who thinks for themselves understands upon reading mein kuranmpf what a steaming pile of bronze age arab bullshit it really is.
“Tebat”, it’s YOU who’s ULTRA-SHALLOW beyond all reason, let alone any and all comparisons!!!!
We know also just what the Qu’rân, the Hadiths, the Sira and the Sunnas ALL say, so begone with all your taqiyya and kitman – NONE of it will work here!!!!
DEATH TO ISLAM!!!!!
