France better start sending the signal that it is not a Muslim state before it’s too late.

I don’t know how people run away from shariah in one Muslim state, only to get to a free world and try to implement the same shariah they ran from.

If any body do any how send them back promptly. Zero tolerance.

Religious (islamic) violence is starting to get a hold on Europe, its time for T to me meet with Tat without delay. You do anyhow you see anyhow. No time
They ran from shariah because someone aka western countries went and destabilized their region for selfish economic gains

Be deceiving yourself.

It is even the women i used to pity, but now i know better. Under Islam they are worthless, a country where the laws of the land give you value. You want to bring back the islam you ran from in your fatherland. So you can worthless again.

I just remembered the story of the girl that left UK to join ISIS, after she was properly rapped: they mutilated her body. That is what you get when leave laws upholding your peace and safety. For a place where their religion permits honor killings.

Funnily, they are banning the use of head scarfs which help modesty and protect the chastity of our women.
However, nothing is said about the nudity of most of the female folks in the world today.
I am not surprised...

You can be modest w/o a hijab. Would you say the woman below isn't modest?

You Muslims just take everything to the extreme.

Re: France Ban French Female Athletes From Wearing Hijabs At The Olympics. by MrBrownJay1(m): 12:59am On Jul 19
as much as this is a very disturbing rule, it shows the hypocrisy of the French government.... so athletes from other nations can wear hijabs but French athletes cant? what kind of yeye rule is this? as usual, the French gov takes very racist decisions... if its ok for muslims female athletes from all over the world to compete in hijab during the olympics, why should it be a problem for French female athletes to do the same?!

Pls honestly.... can someone tell me how wearing hijab affects another person .....I need sincere answers pls

Yeah, It makes people feel unsafe. I served in a hospital in a yorubaland and I had patients covered up like masquerades for me to attend to. It worried me because you don't know who is behind the hideous mask. You never know when they scream Allah AkBOOOOM! 💣💣💣

We are saying the same thing, France don't want Hijab and those who can't live without it should represent Morocco, Algeria, Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran and other Islamic countries, bro it's a win win situation for everybody undecided


If it's against others or the people you hate, it's fair and just. As the same rule is applied to you or your friend, you cry foul and lose your voice screaming marginalization.


What i find hard to understand is what makes it hard for you to condemn injustice irrespective of where it happens and who it happens to.

You can't live a fulfil life hating others merely because their fate, culture and belief is different from yours. The hate you nurture for others, the evil you channel towards others because they choose to be who they're; practise their religion, live on the tenets of their culture will consume you one day.

Women in islam are the most confused bunch I've ever seen. They will fight u tooth and nail to let U know Islam value women.
Yet the latest one now is preference for male converts over men born as muslim by Muslim women.
These women will tell U they prefer to marry male converts from Christianity because they respect women and are not misogynist.
I wonder is it not Christian values that make them not to be misogynist? Why can't your Islam make your own men better husband.

I just taya.

1. It's a security risk, seeing how it has been employed severally by suicide bombers.

2. It's a subtle decoy for the spread of Islamic laws and ways of life in places where they're not.
3. Number 2 is naturally linked to number 1 above

I wish an intelligent investigative journalist would be so kind to do a follow-up on all those scallywags that went to join ISIS then from Europe then.
I'm curious about how they all ended,I know it never ends well.

France have banned French female athletes from wearing hijabs at the Olympic Games sparking a huge backlash from activists.

France announced that it would prevent its athletes wearing the hijab in September of last year.

Now, Amnesty International has hit back at the decision which they describe as ‘discriminatory hypocrisy’.

Amnesty International said that the ban breached international human rights laws and that it prevented athletes from exercising their human right to play sport without discrimination of any kind.

Amnesty International and ten other organisations called on the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to step in.

However, the IOC responded that overturning the policy was beyond its remit, explaining that ‘freedom of religion is interpreted in many different ways by different states.’

Visegrád 24 on X: “France has banned French female athletes from wearing hijabs while competing in the upcoming Olympics and Paralympics in Paris. 🇫🇷” / X

The IOC clarified that its own rules applied in the Olympic Village and therefore athletes would be permitted to wear headscarves saying: “There are no restrictions on wearing the hijab or any other religious or cultural attire.”

Anna Błuś, Amnesty’s International Women’s Rights Researcher in Europe said: “Banning French athletes from competing with sports hijabs at the Olympic and Paralympic Games makes a mockery of claims that Paris 2024 is the first Gender Equal Olympics and lays bare the racist gender discrimination that underpins access to sport in France.”

France is the only country in Europe to prevent headscarf wearing women from participating in most domestic sports competitions.

Rights groups have said that not only does the policy go against IOC’s guidelines but also international treaty obligations that France are required to uphold.

Although the UN have not directly addressed the ban, the UN Rights Office’s spokeswoman in Geneva said: “No-one should impose on a woman what she needs to wear or not to wear.”

She also warned such practices could have harmful consequences and said policies like this are only acceptable under really specific circumstances.

Don't worry, you will understand when you're denied what you deserve because you speak English with the intonation of your mother tongue or are bold enough to show you're black/Igbo/Yoruba//Igala. Then you know how dehumanising baseless discrimination is.
