I think this deserves a standing ovation in front of the mainstream feminists who have constantly dehumanized and demeaned our existence as Muslim women by suggesting that we’re oppressed people. This deserves a standing ovation in front of the hundreds of men who have claimed that the religion of Islam does not tolerate liberated and free women (which is, of course, contrary to the teachings of Muhammad). This deserves recognition; Muslim women are participating in wrestling, swimming, shooting, and other physically demanding sports while wearing the physical hijab.
All of you are my role models; go kick me some misogynistic ass ladies!
Additionally, these ladies are bringing it while fasting during Ramadan.
And that Malaysian athlete? She’s competing while 8 months pregnant.
Beat that, Michael Phelps! (only Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me listeners will get this in-joke >3>)
I just saw the cutest interview of Nur Suryani on TV earlier tonight. When asked how did she cope with the competition being heavily pregnant and all, she said: “I just took lots of deep breaths and told the baby to behave.”
