Girl barred from judo due to hijab

November 18, 2007 By admin

Stories like this one make the news more frequently these days. I don’t get it. Muslim reps always say, “No one is making me wear a headscarf. It is an expression of modesty”, blah blah.

Well: is it mandatory or not? If not — and you say it isn’t, not me — then the girl can remove it to compete.

The rules say you can’t wear such a scarf. So take it off and follow our rules.

Oh but wait: suddenly the scarf IS mandatory. See why we get annoyed?
