[quote] Where's basketball? Soccer? (the real kind not the ones english play). What about ice hockey??? [/quote] What??? how many kinds of soccer are there? Did you mean to say football? As in American Football and not soccer? Are all these women running around in hijab playing? Sorry for being ignorant but I never knew that this existed. If it's the Islamic Countries Women Sports Games, then how come the UK is sending a team? This is really interesting. Does anyone have any background info.? wasalaam eleanor |

| um..i'm not sure if this is the same one that took place at islamabad or pakistan a few yrs ago...where muslim contestants or just women from any country joined in the games...it was closed to the media...n only female participants and women were allowed to enter the arena to watch the game or participate etc..our profs kept telling us to go n visit..but we had exams at the time n it was a bit far off..so.....if i remem correctly....i think they're decently covered but w/o hijab etc..since it's indoors..n only among females. ........? :) |
