UN seeks to impose Islam, hijab on FIFA

We’ve covered this before. FIFA has been infiltrated (see last sentence below) and will now force the organization to submit to Islam. via United Nations backs hijab in football – chicagotribune.com.

GENEVA, Fed (Reuters) – The United Nations has joined the campaign to overturn the ban on the hijab in football four days before the sport’s rule makers are due to review the decision.

The U.N. Secretary-General’s special adviser on sport for development and peace Wilfried Lemke has written to FIFA president Sepp Blatter expressing support for the right to wear a safe, Velcro-opening headscarf.

Lemke expressed his hope that “the issue can be resolved in a way that respects both the Laws of the Game as well as cultural considerations, while promoting football for all women without discrimination,” the U.N. said in a statement.

“It would send the message that each female player, from the top elite level down to the grassroots, has the freedom to decide whether or not to wear this particular piece of attire while on the field.

“It would give the opportunity for remarkable female athletes to demonstrate that wearing the headscarf is not an obstacle to excelling in life and sports, and would hence contribute to challenging gender stereotypes and bringing about a change in mentalities.”

While Olympic sports such as rugby and taekwondo allow Muslim women to wear the headscarf in competition, soccer is opposed for safety reasons.

Last year the Iran women’s soccer team were prevented from playing their 2012 Olympic second round qualifying match against Jordan because they refused to remove their hijabs before kickoff.

Iran, who had topped their group in the first round of Olympic qualifiers after going undefeated, were given 3-0 defeats as a penalty which abruptly ended their dreams of qualifying for the London Olympics.

The ban will be reviewed by the International Football Association Board (IFAB) which meets in England on Saturday

Founded in 1886, it is soccer’s ultimate law-making body comprising four members from FIFA and four from the British associations.

FIFA vice-president Prince Ali Bin Al-Hussein of Jordan will present the case for allowing players to use a Dutch-designed Velcro hijab which comes apart if pulled.

The Tehran Times reports the IFAB has approved sharia for FIFA thanks to Al-Hussein:

The eight-man International Football Association Board has given the green light to Islamic female footballers that wish to wear the hijab, or headscarf, during matches.

 The IFAB agreed in principle in Bagshot, south of London, on Saturday to overturn the decision they took in 2007.

The hijab decision, taken after a presentation to the Board by FIFA executive committee member Prince Ali Bin Al Hussein of Jordan, was agreed by all eight members and will also be subject to further evaluation with a final decision to be taken on July 2.

Jordan’s women’s team was handed a 3-0 win in the Olympic 2012 qualifiers in June, despite no game taking place, after the Iranian team was banned from playing for wearing Islamic scarves.

“I am deeply grateful that the proposal to allow women to wear the headscarf was unanimously endorsed by all members of IFAB,” Prince Ali said.

“I welcome their decision for an accelerated process to further test the current design and I’m confident that once the final ratification at the special meeting of IFAB takes place, we will see many delighted and happy players returning to the field and playing the game they love,” he added.

What we see is the result of Muslims infiltrating organizations and destroying them from the inside out. And more sharia.
