Although I don’t really like the taste of this story,,,why SHOULDN’T girls be allowed to play soccer wearing a head covering???

FIFA never really gave a good reason for NOT allowing the Iranian girls team to wear the hijab-head covering..maybe because there really isn’t any good reason…

Let freedom ring…(as long as the Muslims don’t threaten to start rioting unless EVERY girl wears one…)

Iranian Girls Play Soccer in Hijab

FIFA Lifts Ban on Hijab-Clad Iranian Girls

The Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) overruled an earlier verdict banning Iran’s female footballers from observing Islamic code of dressing in the Olympic Games in Singapore, and allowed Iranian women footballers to wear Islamic dress during the competitions

Reprinted from FARS News Agency

Earlier in March, FIFA had banned the Iranian women football squad wearing Hijab from participating in the inaugural Youth Olympic Games (YOG) which will be held from August 14 to 26 in Singapore.

Following the announcement, Head of Iran’s Football Federation Ali Kaffashian along with Member of the Federation’s International Relations Omid Jamali travelled to Switzerland to meet FIFA President Sepp Blater and FIFA Secretary-General Jerome Valcke on April 14.

The Iranian side could convince Blater and Valcke that the Iranian girls’ new wearing would not violate FIFA rules, noting that the entire world should respect Muslims’ rights and consider Islamic rules and values as a crucial factor when dealing with the Muslim countries’ women football teams.

Following the discussions in Switzerland, FIFA wrote a letter to Kaffashian, announcing its agreement with the Iranian girls’ Islamic code of dressing.

In its letter, FIFA said that if the hat covers the hair without violating the game’s rules and the girl footballers can use it, participation of the Iranian girls in the Olympic competitions in Singapore will be unimpeded.

FIFA also ordered the relevant bodies to take all the requirements to register the Iranian under-15 female footballers, stressing that there is no problem for the participation of the Iranian girls in the Singapore Olympic games.

I wrote about death threats against the producers of the TV cartoon series “South Park” and discussed it on my radio show.

Bart Simpson Stands Up for South Park

Well, it looks like at least ONE cartoon series, “The Simpsons”, has the brass to stand up and tell it like it is. Apparently the powers that be over at Simpsons-Ville value the truth over political correctness…they see the right to freedom of speech as granted by the US Constitution as more than empty, meaningless words…and they have the courage of their convictions to come out openly and say it…more than a bit rare in these days of “fear of Islamic reprisal”…

Check out this week’s episode of the show, where the opening credits have Bart writing on the blackboard, “South Park – We’d Stand Beside You If We Weren’t So Scared.”

But even more powerful was the 10-minute bit by comedian Jon Stewart where he trashed the Muslim organization involved, “Revolution Muslim”, ending with him telling the group making the threats to “Go f*** yourselves.”

Amen, Jon…Couldn’t have said it better myself…

Eat my shorts!

Bart Simpson stands up for freedom of speech

Reprinted from JPost.com E.B. SOLOMONT

The writers of The Simpsons have come to the defense of two South Park writers who received a threat from a Muslim group over their recent depiction of the prophet Muhammad.

The Simpsons’ opening credits this week showed Bart copying a phrase on a chalkboard: “South Park – We’d Stand Beside You If We Weren’t So Scared.”

Last week, comedian Jon Stewart also rallied behind South Park with a 10-minute sketch that ended with him telling the group making the threats to “Go f*** yourselves.”

Stewart linked the Muslim group, Revolution Muslim, to Osama bin Laden and 9/11. And he noted that the New York-based radical group enjoyed the parks, entertainment and Jewish delis for which New York City is known.

“These numbnuts get to enjoy it,” he said. “All because of how we, in this country, value and protect even their freedom of expression.”

The South Park episode in question, the show’s 200th, broadcast earlier this month, takes on the Islamic prohibition of depicting the prophet Muhammad, and introduced the prophet dressed in a bear suit. It also lampooned Buddhism and Jesus.

Following the episode’s broadcast, Revolution Muslim posted an Internet “warning” to the show’s writers, Matt Stone and Trey Parker, predicting that they could find themselves in the same position as a slain Dutch documentary filmmaker, Theo Van Gogh, whose film accused Islam of condoning violence against women.

The article’s author, Abu Talhah al-Amrikee, said the writers had “outright insulted” Muhammad, in a post first reported by CNN. Amrikee told The Associated Press that his posting was meant to raise awareness and prevent it from happening again.

“They should feel threatened by what they did,” he said.

Though he said that “I could shoulder some blame” for any danger to the writers, Amrikee praised bin Laden.

“We look up to him and admire him for the sacrifices he has given for the religion,” he said.

Comedy Central, which airs South Park in the US, censored episodes that followed the controversial 200th show. The storyline for episode 201 includes Muhammad, but censors his name.

Parker and Stone, in a statement, said the decision was the network’s, not theirs.

“In the 14 years we’ve been doing South Park we have never done a show that we couldn’t stand behind,” they said. “Comedy Central added the bleeps. In fact, Kyle’s customary final speech was about intimidation and fear. It didn’t mention Muhammad at all, but it got bleeped, too.”

They promised to be back next week with a whole new show on a different topic.

“We’ll see what happens to it,” they said.

The “warning” posted at RevolutionMuslim.com read, “We have to warn Matt and Trey that what they are doing is stupid and they will probably wind up like Theo Van Gogh for airing this show.”

The site included a link with details about a Colorado home that Parker and Stone own.

Dutch film director, film producer, columnist, author and actor Van Gogh was murdered in Amsterdam by Muhammad Bouyeri, a Dutch-Moroccan Muslim, in 2004 after producing Submission, a movie accusing Islam of condoning violence against women.

Revolution Muslim head Younus Abdullah Muhammad, 30, defended the posting in an interview with Reuters.

“How is that a threat?” he asked. “Showing a case study right there of what happened to another individual who conducted himself in a very similar manner? It’s just evidence.”

He said his group “didn’t tell anyone to go to their houses and conduct violence.”

So I guess there areally ARE some serious moderate voices in Islam today. The question is, will anybody listen to them? The Islamic terrorists claim that they are acting in the name of religion. Somehow I don’t think that this cleric will be listened to very seriously..
Prove me wrong…
Please…

Islamic scholar Tahir ul-Qadri issues terrorism fatwa

An influential Muslim scholar has issued a global ruling against terrorism and suicide bombing

Reprinted from BBC News Dominic Casciani

Dr Tahir ul-Qadri, from Pakistan, says his 600-page judgement, known as a fatwa, completely dismantles al-Qaeda’s violent ideology.

The scholar describes al-Qaeda as an “old evil with a new name” that has not been sufficiently challenged.

The scholar’s movement is growing in the UK and has attracted the interest of policymakers and security chiefs.

In his religious ruling, delivered in London, Dr Qadri says that Islam forbids the massacre of innocent citizens and suicide bombings.

Although many scholars have made similar rulings in the past, Dr Qadri argued that his massive document goes much further by omitting “ifs and buts” added by other thinkers.

He said that it set out a point-by-point theological rebuttal of every argument used by al-Qaeda inspired recruiters.

The populist scholar developed his document last year as a response to the increase in bombings across Pakistan by militants.

‘Heroes of hellfire’

The basic text has been extended to 600 pages to cover global issues, in an attempt to get its theological arguments taken up by Muslims in Western nations. It will be promoted in the UK by Dr Qadri’s organisation, Minhaj ul-Quran International.

Dr Qadri spoke for more than hour to an audience of Muslims, clergy, MPs, police officers and other security officials.

“They [terrorists] can’t claim that their suicide bombings are martyrdom operations and that they become the heroes of the Muslim Umma [global brotherhood]. No, they become heroes of hellfire, and they are leading towards hellfire,” he said.

“There is no place for any martyrdom and their act is never, ever to be considered jihad.”

Acts of vengeance

The document is not the first to condemn terrorism and suicide bombing to be launched in the UK.

Scholars from across the UK came together in the wake of the 7 July London attacks to denounce the bombers and urge communities to root out extremists.

But some scholarly rulings in the Middle East have argued that the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians is an exceptional situation where “martyrdom” attacks can be justified.

Dr Qadri said he rejected that view saying there were no situations under which acts of vengeance, such as attacks on market places or commuter trains, could ever be considered a justifiable act of war.

Although Dr Qadri has many followers in Pakistan, Minhaj ul-Quran International remained largely unknown in the UK until relatively recently.

It now has 10 mosques in cities with significant Muslim communities and says it is targeting younger generations it believes have been let down by traditional leaders.

The organisation is attracting the attention of policymakers and security chiefs who are continuing to look for allies in the fight against extremists.

The Department for Communities, which runs most of the government’s Preventing Violent Extremism strategy, has tried building bridges with a variety of liberal-minded groups, but often found that they have limited actual influence at the grassroots.
