Ramadan: Why are the sports "experts" of this section quiet after a Hijabi Muslim woman brought the USA a bronze medal?

Why so silent? I want to hear your "expert" opinion. Don't be shy :)

    Because most people these days are so racist and don't want to support this. I believe that is completely wrong, and people should just simply be happy for her and support their country.

    I'm not a "Sports expert", but, wasn't the dress that Ibtihaj Muhammad wore - the pants and jacket, in violation of the Islamic Rule that forbids a woman from wearing a man's clothes?

    That certainly wasn't an abaya she wore for the fencing match. And, she usually wore tight jeans otherwise.

    So, does she really qualify to be the"modest" hijabi Muslim, at all?

    Kim Rhode has won medals in six consecutive Olympics (the first woman to do so), yet you probably don't know whom she is, nor do you care. The same logic applies.

    Typical people on this section. Bashes Muslims in every way possible but when Muslims achieve something and shuts them up , they act like they don't know/care. Idiots.

    I'm silent because this is the first time I heard about it. Nobody cares.
