Atlanta weightlifter's plight over Islamic attire gets international attention �| ajc.com

"No athlete should be forced to choose between faith and sport," CAIR Executive Director Nihad Awad wrote in a letter to USOC Chief Executive Officer Scott Blackmun. "Muslim women seek to participate in all aspects of American society, including sporting activities, and should not face artificial and arbitrary barriers to that participation."

Ironic that the hajib can be viewed in exactly these same terms.
