Muslimer og sport: regler og udfordringer

When you are a Muslim, you have several rules you must follow. This can often be a problem In sports.

For example in soccer or handball, if you are a woman and Muslim, you must wear a headscarf, and this can be a problem, because many club managers won’t allow headscarf’s too be worn. They often say: it’s because if they were a headscarf they can be strangulated. I think this is bullshit, and personally I think it’s because, they won’t accept other cultures, except for their own. But maybe I’m wrong, who knows?

Also swimming can be a problem, since Muslim men, has too wear clothes that cover from the bellybutton and down to the middle of the knees. And Muslim women’s, because they have to wear clothes, they must cover the hole body, except for the hands and face. I think that the only solution to this problem is to wear special “Muslim” swimsuits.

Boxing is also a big problem for Muslims, because of the clothes you were as a boxer, and because you will get punched in the head. The prophet Mohammad (SAWS) has forbidden Muslim to hit on the face while training. I personally think this is great, whit a capital G, because if you get hit on the face, you lose neurons (brain cells), and that’s why most, old boxers are “stupid”. I love boxing, but because of the danger I never do it.
