Before we condemn the Iranian idea of modesty, we might consider that in early America the standards for female modesty were a lot closer to today's Iran than to today's Western standards. and as far as Christianity is concerned, I suspect the apostle Paul would approve of an Iranian female soccer game much more than he would a Western beach volleyball contest.

Yeah, they should wear clear plastic see-through ones.

Yep, the more medieval the better.

Your posts generally make me ill.

Stop the insanity. These scarfs are NOT mandatory. Are these women stupid?? They aren’t even allowed to drive in some places. They are beaten. They can be 1 of 4 wives....at the age of 13....

I’m in favor of modesty, and there’s nothing like a scarf to disguise the fact that you really needed a hair cut three months ago.

However, wearing something on your head is obviously going to influence a game of soccer. If it’s not a safety issue, there’s the question of whether padding on the head is an unfair advantage in a game that involves hitting the ball with the head.

Yep but they didn’t play soccer in those early days. The Mayan ball court game involving human sacrifice was closer by date.

Other the other hand, I can’t wait until Rooney is running around wearing a Hijib for ManU. That would be a sight to see.
