PC run amok-Female Muslim Weightlifter allowed to Competes in a Full-Body Covering!


This is a horrible decision with great ramifications!

What happened the concept of separation of church and state Liberals love to throw in our faces?

I thought the concept of treating people separate but equal is unconstitutional?

This is how it starts and down the road Muslins will argue that they need Sharia courts. We’re becoming the United States of Europe!


The Blaze


Kulsoom Abdullah has become the first woman to compete in the U.S. weightlifting championships while wearing clothing that covers her legs, arms and head.

Abdullah was cleared to compete in accordance with her Muslim faith after the International Weightlifting Federation ruled two weeks ago that athletes could wear a full-body “unitard” under the customary weightlifting uniform.

Abdullah, a 35-year-old from Atlanta who weighs roughly 105 pounds, lifted before a small crowd Friday in Council Bluffs, Iowa. Wearing a flowing black hijab and matching top with a tan, long-sleeved undershirt and long black socks, Abdullah cleared a snatch of 41 kilograms, or just over 90 pounds, and 57 kilograms in the clean and jerk.
