"Dave Minuk's decision effectively bars Muslim women from judo. For decades, women have fought hard for their rights and Minuk's call is taking them away," said the statement from the Council of American-Islamic Relations Canada.This has nothing to do with women. If the person who wanted to wear the headscarf had been a male, it would have had the same result.
One Stacey Ashley in this CTV article has to lie as well in order to make her point, saying, "Judo Manitoba gave a bureaucratic boot Saturday to a little girl who just wanted to participate in a tournament." She didn't just want to participate in the tournament. If that's what she wanted, she would have! Instead, she wanted to both participate in the tournament and wear a prohibited headdress. Do not all sane people see the difference there? CTV doesn't.
If they change their decision for the sake of accommodation, I encourage anyone in the relevant tournaments and who disagrees with as much just to wear whatever they want on their head and necks. Maybe like a big old giraffe hat, they look pretty cool, something like this. That'd be pretty intimidating too. Just say it's a requirement of your religion -- you'll have as much justification as Muslims do for wearing the hijab.
The mother of the girl said she is contacting Sport Manitoba who apparently has some say in these matters. May I suggest to all those who are interested to offer their own opinion on the matter? Sport Manitoba's contact information is here.

This is called dry run and probing.
The rules of any competition in martial arts state clearly: no jewelry, scarves, head coverings, piercings, bracelets etc.
Even protective gear and clothes are standardized, I do not remember seeing a WKO, WTO etc approved hijabs.
COVERING CHILDREN WITH AN HIJAB IS CHILD CRUELTY

Islam is a barbaric, sexist, violent ideology (not a religion) that worships a pagan god (Allah) and women are oppressed under Islam. How could any woman be ‘proud’ to follow a man who was a pedophile, endorser of clitoridectomy, slave trader, rapist, polygamist, punched his child bride and endorsed whipping/beating women and ploughing them like fields, stoned women to death, flogged his slave women for fornication while he had sex with slaves himself, raped his slaves, propositioned women and passed them round to friends, denied women equal inheritance, or equality under the law etc forever and abused and denigrated them in every way--not to mention his general sadism to others, mass murder, amputations, beheading, flogging, thievery, pillaging, lying, megalomania---unending horror .
The hijab is symbolic of Islamic violence, control, threats and totalitarian political aspirations!
There is absolutely no reason why we should allow young girls, even toddlers to be covered with heads wrapped in 'hijabs' that they cannot remove! Such attire is child cruelty and discriminates against girls under Islam's gender apartheid attitudes which conflict with western attitudes of freedom and equality for girls and boys. Allowing hijabs on children masquerades as tolerance and religious freedom while the repulsive reasons for such attire and its implications and effects are never examined. Those who find this attire (on adults or children) offensive and symbolic of repression and totalitarianism are never allowed to speak!
Freedom does not mean ‘do what you like’-hopefully we won’t let Muslim males marry/have sex with pre-pubescent children (if we manage to find out!) just because Islamic text, laws and Muhammad’s example say they can.
Islam teaches that women are evil and that the whole female is shameful and must cover herself to avoid being molested and to have some chance of entering paradise (though most women populate hell!!).
Women are polluting:
Koran sura 5.6 (repeated in sura 4.43 –re removing pollution before praying) And if ye are sick on a journey, or one of you cometh from the closet or ye have contact with women and ye find not water, then go to clean high ground and rub your faces and your hands with some of it
“When it's time to pray and you have just used the toilet or touched a woman, be sure to wash up. If you can't find any water, just rub some dirt on yourself. 5:6
Muhammad described women as "unclean" creatures. In a Hadith, Muhammad says, "Three things corrupt prayer: Women, dogs, and donkeys." There are several other sayings in which Muhammad reduced women to the level of an animal. "Woman is a vile beast," and "I think that women were created for nothing but evil."
"'The woman has two things to cover her: the grave and marriage.' It was asked, 'Which of them is better?' He (Muhammad) said, 'The grave.'”
Muslim Book 8, Number 3240: Jabir reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) saw a woman, and so he came to his wife, Zainab, as she was tanning a leather and had sexual intercourse with her. He then went to his Companions and told them: The woman advances and retires in the shape of a devil, so when one of you sees a woman, he should come to his wife, for that will repel what he feels in his heart.
And if he can't make it to his wife?
Note the rape rates (65->80%) in Europe are due to Muslim (non-western) males! Rape is indeed about power and Muslim males have absolute power over their women and can beat those who disobey (or just throw them out!)….infidel women are ‘booty’ to Muslims males!
This is a long time later, but I wanted people that visit here to know the truth. Previous postings have been skewed by misunderstanding and prejudice. I did not see one accurate quote from the Qur'an, or any proof that any hadith mentioned here was and "Authentic Hadith". There are many degrees amongst hadiths and some muslims do no follow any of them (gasp). The Qur'an guaranteed woman rights 1400 years ago. The right to inherit, own property, run a business, etc. Rights that where just recently given to woman outside of Islam and some Royalty. And now a girl chooses to wear a hijab ( uhmm yes most choose...) and she is refused participation in a sport. Most women wear hijab as a sign of respect for God and themselves, not because they have too. And the remark of Allah being some pagan god, Arab Jews and Arab Christians use the term Allah for YHWH and God the Father. The term literally means, The One worthy of worship. Let any one who is Christian or Jewish say they any different of God. Would you say that the one you worship is The One worthy of worship? Do not let language confuse you, and do not create a belief on an segment of an interpretation of the Qur'an. If you cannot read arabic then you can not accurately say what the Qur'an says. Don't qoute some error in interpretation or a segment of something. I can do that with the bible. "...and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass." 1 Samuel 15:2-3 (read more) Does that mean the Bible supports murder? Of course not. Many know what it is to be a Good Christian or Jew. How many of us know what it is to be a Good Muslim? Forget the fundamentalist and terrorist. Visit your local mosque and find some moderates or liberals... And remember, we all believe in loving our brother as ourself...
