Iranian sportswomen kick arse! Dec 24, 2010
Don't mess with Iranian women! ;)

Apparently Iranian sportswomen did well in the recent Asian games - winning gold in Wushu and Bronze in Tae Kwon Do. I came across this photo site today (see Christmas in Iran thread) and these set of photos of Iranian sportswomen was also featured.

Interesting images of Muslim sportswomen:

Cheer up FD, it is Christmas. Give up the hate and cynicism for a day at least. These are just some photos of Muslim women who don't quite fit the Islamophobic fantasy stereotype. Whilst I understand this may offend your sensibilities - your complaining is getting a bit old. Just some feedback (in my non-mod capacity) - as mod I'd defend your right to be grumpy.

So, don't be a grinch.

But to keep you happy, here's the Iranian pres with a medalist - and the political angle would be just the fact Iran is in the news a lot and Islamphobes bang on about how Islam oppresses women etc. :

Happier?

Western principles shouldn't mix with the Eastern one as well.

I tend to agree here a bit. Of course, this also applies the other way around.

Worth a bump - given the recent Fifa ruling on football attire.

Cheers,

They all look a bit butch to me. Women shouldn't play football, that's just wrong.
