Good question. Sports require uniforms-usually shorts. What does a hijab matter when the uniform itself isn’t allowed?

There are teams full of Somali boys here, but I have yet to see a Somali girl join a team.

Plus, how can you run fast and change direction quickly in a full ankle length robe?

Separation of Church and State has been used by school administrators all across this country as a club to beat down student participation in Christianity while on public school grounds. How can these public school administrators now justify their capitulation to accommodate Muslims in their dress and daily prayer practices but who have no form or pillars in the making of this Christian nation?

That's because Islam is a cult, not a religion, and therefore, the 1st Amendment does not apply.

Since when were girls allowed to participate in sports? Do they get stoned at school or when they get home?

I used to get stoned at home after school (and sometimes before); but this was in the mid-70's when everyone just got stoned.

I’ve heard that about Upstate New York.

I also have relatives in Nassau and Suffolk counties.

I grew up in Suffolk County MANY years ago. Years ago, my late uncle was a GOP big wig on Long Island.

My NY relatives voted for Trump 2:1

Perhaps Dylan was cryptically referring to Islam and Sharia Law:

Well, they’ll stone ya when you’re trying to be so good
They’ll stone ya just a-like they said they would
They’ll stone ya when you’re tryin’ to go home
Then they’ll stone ya when you’re there all alone

But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned

Well, they’ll stone ya when you’re walkin’ ‘long the street
They’ll stone ya when you’re tryin’ to keep your seat
They’ll stone ya when you’re walkin’ on the floor
They’ll stone ya when you’re walkin’ to the door

But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned

They’ll stone ya when you’re at the breakfast table
They’ll stone ya when you are young and able
They’ll stone ya when you’re tryin’ to make a buck
They’ll stone ya and then they’ll say, “Good luck”

Tell ya what, I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned

Well, they’ll stone you and say that it’s the end
Then they’ll stone you and then they’ll come back again
They’ll stone you when you’re riding in your car
They’ll stone you when you’re playing your guitar

Yes, but I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned

Well, they’ll stone you when you walk all alone
They’ll stone you when you are walking home
They’ll stone you and then say you are brave
They’ll stone you when you are set down in your grave

But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned

Bob Dylan, Everybody Must Get Stoned

My understanding is that Trump would have won New York State if not for the libtards in NYC and the near suburbs.

Maine can give thanks to the Clinton crime syndicate for bringing the muslims there in the first place.

quote-How can these public school administrators now justify their capitulation to accommodate muslims in their dress and daily prayer practices but who have no form or pillars in the making of this Christian nation? The enemies within are killing this country.

drypowder, since you referenced Christianity, I’d refer you to the Christian Bible- and the Apostle Paul in his letter to the believers in Corinth.

It is written in the Christian Bible- 1 Corinthians 11

3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.
4 Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head.
5 But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.
6 For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.
7 For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.
8 For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man.
9 Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.
10 For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels.
11 Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord.
12 For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things of God.

The Apostle Paul understood ‘headship’ and the Patriarchal Govt of God and the curse in the garden.

Every Christian man who prays or prophesies with covering their head, according to scripture, is dishonoring their head.
and their head, is Christ.

Every Christian woman who prays or prophesies without covering her head, according to scripture, is dishonoring her ‘head’.
and her ‘head’ is either her father (if unmarried) or her husband (if married).

Not sure ‘head coverings’ is a hill ‘Christianity’ wants to mess with-
Nuns wearing their habit are doing exactly what these non western muslim and non muslim women are doing.
Same with an Amish woman who covers her head.

According to scripture, in those cases, those women are honoring their head- depending on marriage, that is either husband or their father.

And it may seem small or insignificant- but it explains the curse at the very beginning. and the continue curses from the garden.
And the change to the current cursed matriarchal govt system in the US -
from the former biblically based , Patriarchal blessed and ordained by God, govt system.

God has used a donkey before-
He can most certainly use non-western, non-Christian women, to be a testimony to His Blessed Patriarchal Govt Order and Headship- that is to be found in families, churches and government.

It will be for eyes that see and ears that hear..

Hillary Clinton’wearing the pants’ and uncovered head, is not a testimony to His Blessed Patriarchal Govt Order and Headship- But when she puts on a head covering, it is.

Try having that preach anywhere:)

Instead of the usual conservative gripes I would like to see them ask her and her family what they think of feminism and jihad.

"Are girls and women in Muslim culture, even allowed to participate in sports in the first place???" No, a few years ago some were killed because they dared to play soccer.

Someone please explain how a full body leotard hides all those feminine curves? Also, their ankles and their faces are out there for all to see. Does a male relative accompany them to class? Why are girls even being educated? This is just another play of the "oooh, look at me, I'm special" card. They pick and choose which muzzy rules to follow.

10,000 African newcomers, mostly from Somalia and Sudan in Maine's two largest cities, while others have come from the Middle East.

10,000 newcomers in just two cities. Let that sink in. 10,000 and newcomers. How many earlier arrivals? How many across the US?

Thanks, your points per Scripture from the Apostle Paul are all well and good. The allotment of muslim prayer time and space for prayer in our public schools remains an issue in this country.

That’s my thinking too. And , the way sports require running and jumping and bending, there would be time where Muslim sensibilities will.be offended. Not only are legs showing but legs could be apart, or parts of a woman’s body could bounce and offend Muslims . Based on what Muslims themselves tell us, it seems the whole area of athletic competition is too dangerous so to speak, for Muslim women to participate.
