Muslim Girl Ejected from Canadian Soccer Tournament (Update)

Canada’s CBC is relentlessly leftist, and their story about the top soccer association’s decision not to allow the political symbol of radical Islam’s suppression of women shows their bias very clearly: Soccer officials fail to change rules about wearing hijab. (Hat tip: LGF readers.)

Note the language: the officials “failed” to change the rule.

An 11-year-old Ottawa soccer player said Saturday she will continue to fight for her right to wear her hijab, even though the world’s top soccer association has refused to change its rules on the issue.

“I thought it was disappointing because I thought I would actually make a difference, but I didn’t,” Asmahan Mansour told CBC News from Ottawa.

Someone put this 11-year old girl up to this, without a doubt. And the CBC actually calls it a “right.”

FIFA officials remained firm in their intention to not change the regulations.

“If you play football there’s a set of laws and rules, and law four outlines the basic equipment,” Brian Barwick, chief executive of the English Football Association, told reporters. “It’s absolutely right to be sensitive to people’s thoughts and philosophies, but equally there has to be a set of laws that are adhered to,” he said. …

After Mansour was ejected from the game on Feb. 25, her team withdrew from the tournament saying they won’t come back until the rules are changed.

“I just hope that one day Quebec will change the rules and I’ll be able to play,” Mansour told CBC News. “I’m just hoping that any girl with the hijab does not go through what I went through.”

Pushing the radical Islamic agenda on every front, constantly. Why doesn’t the CBC investigate who put the idea in this little girl’s mind to be an advocate for the suppression of women’s rights? (Rhetorical exit question.)

I’m not a Muslim or an Arab, you Zionist scumbag. I hope you realize that the WHOLE WORLD HATES YOU PIECES OF SH*T because of your deeds…. Israel is a Parasitic Terrorist Welfare State. The only thing holding that sh*tty little country up are its lobbies here in America and its Diaspora of psychotic Zionists who have a choke hold on the media. The PEOPLE of America hate you scumbags and hate the fact that you shake us down for BILLIONS of dollars every year for “poor Israel”…. the ONLY nuclear power in the Middle East.

We will NEVER forget how Israel attacked us in the 50’s (the Levon Affair)
We will NEVER forget how Israel attracted us in the 60’s (the USS Liberty)

WE WILL NEVER FORGET HOW ISRAEL ATTACKED US ON 9/11!!!!!!!!!!!!
