If they were that religious in Iran there would be no Iranian women soccer players.

Thank buddha that FIFA is finally doing something right after allowing those hideous vuvuzelas at the last World's Cup. When will muzzie countries learn that rules are rules and we don't create special rules just for them?

Besides - the Iranian women aren't banned, it's the hideous head gear that is banned.

It's Islam that won't allow them to play because the mullahs see a woman's neck and can't control their sexual urges.

3. If it's so important to the Arabic women to wear the scarf, why isn't the JORDANIAN team they were going to play wearing them?

Lastly, this is a duplicate thread.

It's not an "Arabic" thing, it's a "Muslim" thing, and Iranians aren't Arabs.

Yes, but they're not the same thing. Most of the world's Muslims are actually in Indonesia, and there are many more Muslims in other non-Arabic countries.

There are a lot of very religious Muslim women in Iran.

I can't say it's comfortable, but I have seen Muslim women working out in hijab. You can even find websites online that sell bathing suits that meet Islamic dress codes.

It's women's soccer after all. I mean who watches? Maybe they would get more attention if they dresed like beach vollyball players.
