Iranian Women's Soccer Team Disqualified From Olympics Over Headscarves



The Iranian women’s soccer team was defeated even before it could compete for a spot in the 2012 summer Olympics -- sidelined by the Muslim players' headscarves.

The team was to play an Olympic qualifying match against Jordan last Friday, but officials of the international football association, FIFA, disqualified the team because the players' Islamic headscarves violate the association's dress code, the Washington Post reported.


...And of course Ahmadinnerjacket was quick to dispense verbal justice onto those evil imperialists!

"These are the dictators and colonialists who want to impose their lifestyle on others," Ahmadinejad said in a news conference, according to The National. "We will deal with those who carried out this ugly job. We follow definite rights of our girls."
