Comments: Athletes '€˜not bound to Muslim dress code'€™

S

ept. 18, p1

Islam prescribes covering almost the entire body as its dress code, but when it comes to sporting events such as the upcoming Islamic Solidarity Games (ISG), the athletes, particularly non-Muslims, will not have to abide by the Islamic dress code.

Your comments:

These games are really pointless. There are no Christian Games or Buddhist Games or Atheist Games, after all.

Mario Rustan

Should he represent a secular nation when he forces the association to make an exception based exclusively on religion?
