Here we go with the fucking hijab again...
A Tae Kwon Do coach pulled her team from a competition in Montréal because the referee asked the girls to take off their hijab, the Muslim veil women must cover their heads with.
Here we go again. Quebecers are racist, blablabla! And again, the feminists are either gonna be silent or take the side of patriarchy. Yeah, yeah, I know, free women are also free to cover themselves in shame. And the old tired argument "I know a Muslim girl who wears the hijab and nobody's forcing her". Yes, and George W. Bush is a compationate conservative. e_e If you want to claim you're forced to wear it because God told you so, start by proving that God exists and then you'll have a point. Why didn't the coach just act as the adult supervisor she was suppose to be, tell the girl to take it off and quit bitching. If your god wants you and your team to lose a competition because of a rag, then your god is an asshole and you should spit upon the face of its creation. 'the fuck that deity think he is bossing people around like that? And are 11 years old girls even supposed to wear the hijab in Islam? I thought little kids were exempted, even in backward places like Afghanistan.

I heard about throwing in the towel, but this is ridiculous...
the coaches decision should have been left to the team to decide if they would forfit. as for the issue with hijab, now would be a great time for nike or adidas or underarmor to delvelop a sport hijab (it shouldn't be to hard, and would work on the double standard)
OMG I don't care if you wear the vale! I think it looks kinda cool, personally. But WHO CARES if you wear it in the sport in the first place. OMG respect all religions. I don't believe in certain things like I'm kinda Agnostic but man who cares?! if that happended in America I'm mad >:(
Those martial arts competitions are held by private organizations - organizations that also respect the fact that the girls are competing in a sport that clashes with their culture to begin with. It isn't practical to wear such things on your face when you're going toe-to-toe with someone in a martial arts competition. If it flaps in front of your eyes, you're screwed. It's weird for anyone to place themselves at an unfair advantage during a competition, where a well-placed kick that the person may not see coming could possibly K.O. him/her much faster.
Besides all of that, the team knew the rules, and they still entered. I don't feel sorry for them.
Hey, it's martial arts. Aren't they just enacting their right to be like ninjas?
