    just now I saw in the CNN that "Aravane Rezaï" became winner of Madrid tennis masters!
    already she competed at the Women's Islamic Games winning Gold in 2001 and 2005 but I guess this is first time that a Muslim woman won and international tennis game.

    Her hair is showing. She even wears jewelry. What a shame, we are still waiting for the corresponding Fatwa to be issued.

    she can't play with this dress for Iran. for that she have to cover herself or play in place that no any man or camera present. also in Iran women prohibited to present in stadium when men are playing football.

    Frm religious point of view its k but when u r participating in games and sports one cannot stop viewers to see the game n it may be males or females. As you know in this fast world each n every moment can be catched so either one has to leave the game or have to sacrifice his or her rules.

    Meaning she is American. The whole [Your Heritage]-American nomenclature is pretty worn out. As a first generation American, I don't consider myself anything but American.

    I guess if our sport authorities want to offer one of dresses in the picture, then will lost their job.
    they must think of this type of cloths.

    Actually, those sport outfits look reasonable to me, even comfortable to wear. However, I don't think the head covering should be mandatory.


    Ha Ha -- that's funny. :)
