If you read the complete post and care to click the link, you would know.
I don't have a Facebook account. Would you care to give a synopsis?

Muslim countries deprive women the freedom to choose what to wear
Unveiled women are not sources of evil
It is erroneous to believe men are easily provoked (by non-hijab-ed women)

And I think this is why Qatar and Dubai would never be awarded the Games. They would probably force all the female athletes to wear burkas and hijabs.

German girls make a better girlfriend but Egyptian girls make a much better wife. More than half American women will lose their husband in a divorce, if they get married at all. Kinda sad for women.

What an absurd and bigoted statement. You're clearly drunk.

Ok, so apparently I'm one of those evil people who don't believe that we (as Westerners) should be imposing our cultural norms on others.

And, unlike some, I guess I'm reluctant to impose my feelings on others. That is, that all women must certainly feel horribly done by when they wear certain clothing because I would feel that way.

I've always been one to try to take what people say at face value. One of these athletes has said that she doesn't mind playing in this attire. I suppose I shouldn't believe her, because, Jesus, how could anyone think that way?

You can believe what you want.

In many Muslim countries, the German volleyball player's picture will be blurred, and in more Muslim countries this match would not be allowed to go on with the German girl dressed the way she was, and then in other Muslim countries even if they allowed the German to dress the way she was, they wouldn't allow the local girl to wear a 2 piece even if she wanted to.

The horror!

Again, I will ask, who are you or anyone else to tell a group of people that their social mores are wrong?

I am siding with the voices from within that society who want the freedom of choice that is taken for granted in Infidel nations.
