Finally here is Iran's Olympic contingent of athletes in Beijing begins with a new controversy in Iran about attendance of female athletes in Olympic!
Today a religious leader speaker in Friday prayer in Mashhad city said to crowd "Our team in international scene shouldn't use a woman to carry Iran's flag because it's against our values and it's a war with preparation of people for upcoming of absent Imam, Mahdi". Ayatollah Alamolhoda continued "Do you (Olympic team officials) know what are you doing? To put a woman in front of team is against Islamic innocent Imams sayings. This is a bold move against our Islamic values. Participation of women in athletic environments are against Islamic values" and so on.
Among 53 Iranian athletes that came to Beijing, only 3 are female, based on Islamic law in Iran they are required to cover their head and body in public but Iranian officials permitted female athletes to take off their Islamic dress if they would be in female only areas. Because Iranian women outfit should cover their body from being seen in public by men so they have denied to attend most sports. They are limited to some sports such as archery, boating, chess, rowing and taekwondo.
Now if I want to answer to Tom Heneghan from Reuters that he asked in his article "Should men-only Muslim teams be barred from the Olympics?" Indeed we should stop them from attending to international scene like Olympics which everyone supposed to be in peace but unfortunately women athletes from these Islamic countries are not.
International community has responsibility towards everyone in this planet and has to use every chance to prove that we care to human rights and we are against any regime who abuses human rights.

I have just come across your blog and will spend some time working my way through your posts. I simply wanted to say 'Courage' my friend. You are standing for a brave ideal here, an honest, dignified, human ideal, and you are doing it in a place which makes this hard and difficult. I respect what you are doing here very much, and I send you my very best wishes, and support. Stay safe won't you?

ReplyDeleteDear friend, God has led me to you today. He loves you very much. I do not know you. But God knows you, and He loves you. He knows all your sins, and I can prove to you that He will forgive you and wash away your sin. He will do this for you because He wants you to be close to Him forever. Abrahim offered his son and a lamb died instead of his son. That lamb died as part of God's plan. Isa is the lamb of God. I can prove that. Read in the Injil John chapter 1 verse 29. It says of Isa, "Behold the lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world". Isa was born of the virgin. He was born without sin. He came to die in your place. You have sin, but Isa was the lamb of God, Who was the sacrifice for your sin. Just as Abrahim offered his son for God, so God offered His Son for Abrahim, for you, and for me. Isa died for you as part of God's plan to save you and forgive your sin. Isa rose from the dead. That proves that His promise to forgive you all your sin is true. If you talk to Him today, He will hear you and answer you because He loves you. You need His love. You can only have true peace if you receive the spirit of God to live in your heart by faith in Isa, the Son of God. I love you.
ReplyDeleteThanks Josephine for your support, warm and kind message.
ReplyDeleteI will be in touch with you.
But what if that woman wishes to dress like that? Who says women need to be semi-nude to compete in the olympics? You know what that leads to? A crappy tennis player like Anna Kournikova who is better known for her bikini pics than for actually playing Tennis.
ReplyDeleteDon't try to throw your lack of morals against them. It becomes even worse when you have a woman who actually wishes to wear that, than to be pressured into wearing skimpy little outfits to get the men excited.
Have you noticed how the female athletes wear less clothing than the men?
Seriously...just drop it. Don't be a douche bag.
@ Haik: don't you think so you shouldn't preach in Rotten Gods?
ReplyDelete@Anonymous: Remove "if" from your assumption of a false theory then you have nothing to say.
Remember, not all female athletes are nude!
U gvme an example of some of the athlets female who dont expose, girls expose themselves and give invitation to the rapist to rape them, and then they cry of being raped and they reveal their body and it is so obvious for a guy to scare at a nude women..

ReplyDeleteAre you suggesting chastity law should be practiced in society? am I haring you right?!!!
Well if this law saves some1s life so i think every1 should follow that law, and if at all people like u start thinking abt the positive aspect of hijab will understand, why it is mentioned compulsory in Islam for a girl to do Hijab...
ReplyDeleteHey Fariborz,today women atheletes practice nudity than they practice Games.Don't u see women athletes on the front covers of Various pornographic magazines.What does they reveal to u at that time .nudity or games.Just Think.
ReplyDeleteWhy would anybody want to think at such a idiotic and stupid Statement. Pornographic magazines? what a mens magazine. Hardly substitutes for pornographic material. Still if it bothers you so much, maybe you should write to the Olympic committee and ask them to include nude modeling in the next games?
