Minister supports hijab decision

There is nothing wrong with this young lady wearing a hijab while playing soccer.

I think most can agree what is not right is to have your face covered during voting or getting a government photo. (driver license, passport)

Sure, we'll let them wear them until someone suffers a broken neck...

And if she trips on it and falls and hurts herself during play will she sue the soccer team for letting her go on the field wearing an outift that the safety standards prohibit?

Also, does the league have to change all of their rules to allow players to play out of uniform?

Sorry, this is one of those things where these people have to assimilate and get with the program. If they want to live under sharia law then they should move to where they can do that.

FIFA, which has worked at promoting women's soccer in Muslim countries, and which devotes an entire section of its website to anti-racism and anti-discrimination, doesn't ban religious or non-religious headscarves, provided they don't represent a danger to players.

Indeed, FIFA even includes pictures of players wearing head coverings to clarify what is permitted, and states that head gear made of soft, lightweight, padded material is not dangerous and is therefore permitted.

It's nice to see soccer growing so fast in Canada. Great sport.

I guess every group can ask for a change in uniform now. A Hijab is no part of the "muslim dress code", so any group can push her/his will through now. I wonder where it ends.

Hijab Islamic Dress Code

Brenda, I always thought you were very smart, that thought is being tested.

Really, Tritium...

Explain this to me then, will you?

I guess we can post links that contradict each other until we are blue in the face, like a couple of little smurfs.

Allah says in the Holy Quran,

"Oh Prophet! Tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks (veil) all over their bodies (i.e. screen themselves completely except the eyes or one eye to see the way). That will be better, that they should be known (as free respectable women) so as not to be annoyed. And Allah is ever Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."

There is a difference of opinion on the extent of hijab.

The minimum for hijab is covering everything except he hands and the face. Clothing must be very loose, of quiet color and fabric, and not resemble the clothing of men. Makeup and perfume are not allowed in hijab.

Many Muslim authorities also require women to cover their faces and hands.

Where there is a difference of opinion:

1. it is safer to follow the more extreme opinion. It certainly could not be a sin to cover more.

2. each person has to read all she can about the rulings, and make her own decision.

3. a wife should follow her husband's opinion, and a daughter should follow her father's, as the husband and father are responsible for a woman's safety and protection.

May Allah bless, forgive, and guide us all.

And so you do, my sweet little smurf

It is not part of the dress code, that's what I was told by several muslim women. It is a choice, not a must. A lot of muslim women, wearing a Hijab wear make-up too
