#1 Young Ibn told his father, "they mock me father, they mock my robe and they mock the prophet. They say he is fake".

"Fake!" cried Ibns' father. He turns to his cousin, a man ready to avenge. "Begin then revenge."

#5 You know... my religion requires me to always carry a claymore.... I should be allowed to play a sport while carrying it shouldn't I?

I mean in the name of diversity and religious tolorance....

#7 heh. Now if it was rugby, I'd let her keep it on. Just makes the other team want to hit her harder.

#9 LOL! everyone. Nice string of comments.

If her father or brother or uncle is going to beat the living sh-t out of her if she doesn't wear the nonsense, I can understand it. Let that be known to everyone--let it be public knowledge. And let them know also, that all Islamic pseudo-men need to die.

But I can't stand the idea of some silly, oppressed, repressed, female Muslim man-worshipper holding herself up to be some kind of "holy" thing in comparison to her other ("slutty") team members in their shorts and t-shirts.

And they go along with it, because why? . . . Oh yeah. It's very important for US to be "culturally" sensitive--but not for them to be.

What's next?? "Barney is my god, and in reverence for him I must don the purple and green body costume?" People are stupid to let this continue--the Islamoidz are laughing all the way to the bank.

#10 Howard, look at the picture. I think she is actually wearing flash gear. It should work fine for a head ball.

Ex-lib, if you want to don the colors of Barney, they might just make you the goalie. :-)

#11 Can't get the picture I'm afraid - page won't load damn it.. I imagine it to be a filmy membrane thus avoiding any unpredictability in the flight of the ball from a header. It could bamboozle a goalie if it was any kind of Wazibilly turban.

LOL. It worries me that I understand exactly what you're saying.

#13 Super Hose: Yeah, and then when the game is over, I can go around and hug everybody.
