American chess player Nazi Paikidze also refused to play the knockout World Championship in Tehran, Iran, last year over the same issue.
What, we have a female chess player who is a Nazi? (semi-sarc)

And what is wrong with the international chess powers that be, that they would accept a host nation’s demands in this regard? Suppose a muslim nation banned homosexuals from participating? Think it would be awarded a tournament anyway?

If there was no Islam, the world would be utterly different. Don't forget that the emergence of Islam, coupled with the breaking of the trade between east and west led to the age of discovery. Without that, there most likely would not have been the impetus to head west and discover America.
perhaps later, perhaps I don't know, something else. The world as we know it would be utterly different without the emergence of Islam. I'd be chauvinistic and say it would be a better world and we would have right now been writing to each other from Mars to the moon
