Offer Upgrade  User ID: 9992933  United States07/30/2012 07:53 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The father of a female Saudi Arabian judo competitor says his daughter will pull out of the Olympics if she is not allowed to wear her hijab The father of a female Saudi Arabian judo competitor says his daughter will pull out of the Olympics if she is not allowed to wear her hijab during bouts. Wojdan Ali Seraj Abdulrahim Shaherkani, 16, is due to compete in the +78kg category on Friday. A Saudi official said earlier this month that its female athletes would have to obey Islamic dress codes. But International Judo Federation president Marius Vizer said she would have to fight without the headscarf. The sport has banned the headscarf for safety reasons and Vizer said last week: "The athlete from Saudi Arabia will fight in the spirit of judo and according to the principles of judo without a hijab".

More like he will pull her out if she is not allowed to wear it. I doubt she would throw away all that time and training an struggle. But her pig of a father doesn't care, he wasn't the one pouring blood sweat and tears into getting to london. I'm sure all he cares about is his so called honor. |

So she respects the rules or pull out. There are other Muslim women participating at the Olympics, they don't have this kind of claim. |

If she trained and struggled all these years to go to the olympics you can't tell me this is the first time her father is finding out about this rule. Or is he just a tard?

Nothing bad is going to happen if they let her wear a hijab in the Olympics. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 19146481 It's the rule of the Olympic games : no political or religious propaganda ! Exactly our swimmers can't wear their red-white and blue mouth guards on the podium. |

Good for them. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 20884758 No, they try to enter and control things that they will not blend or become one with. Major difference. They're kinda like the Jewish folk in that respect. |

In a normal world that would be so. Don't be all that surprised if they cave in.
