Female chess players protest wearing hijab at Iran world championship

[Aramagedon]

this is a dress a women will wear on her wedding. It is not for everyday use. In India women can wear anything from short skirt and tank tops to Burqas and Naqaabs

I know it mate. I ment 'traditional dress'.

I saw a documentary about India. Wearing skirts in Indian cities was highly immodest because it could increase crimes and men attentions. Almost no Indian woman wore skirts in streets. Even the western tourists who wore skirts changed it with traditional Indian panits after few days. I think that documentary's name is " 1000 places to visit before you die " .

Events shouldn't be organised in regressive countries.I can see the fiasco of the Qatar world cup already.

What is your definition of regressive? You are in favor of French forcing women to take of clothes, but against the Iranians forcing women to wear Hijab.

former Pan American champion Carla Heredia -- who did not qualify for the Tehran tournament

She had a problem with hijab right after she was disqualified from competing.

Iranians can do what they want in Iran but don't force women who only come there to play chess/whatever to dorne islamic attire.

As opposed to forcing women to take of their cloth by French authorities who only go to the beach, which is considered progress by people like you.

lol...you have little understanding of things.FIFA wouldn't have given them the tournament in the first place if they didn't promise to accomodate fans.What other teams ? Nobody would watch it without European teams.Don't get me started that Brazil,Argentinian and most South American fans are the same....drinking,women dressed lightly in the heat,etc.

Why can't they watch it from Home? Is the only way to see it to be in the stadium?

The question of whether alcohol was allowed to be consumed in additional areas and at the games themselves was asked, Hassan Abdullah al Thawed, chief executive of the Qatar 2022 World Cup bid, said the Muslim state would also permit alcohol consumption during the World Cup. A few specific fan-zones will be set up during the event, that will provide alcohol for sale. Also certain bars are now being developed for all the tourists coming to support their chosen teams in the World Cup

So that means you were wrong.

No,I was right.Qatar gave assurances beforehand that fans will be accomodated.I still think there will be incidents tht can be avoided by giving the WC to a normal country.

Those women chose to live in France,the chess players are only there for World Championships.

What happened to your rule "Their country their Rule" I guess in this case the argument came to bite you in the *** and now you are scratching all over the place.

I personally think, she knows she will lose her title and is hiding behind the "hijab" just like BIGOTS or Islamophobic hiding behind French laws that one must be half naked to go to beach because those laws only will affect Muslim women or women with self-respect.

There's no comparison.People shouldn't be forced to dress according to islamic ideology if they attend a chess championship..I don't care what they do in their country,chess players are only there to play because the tournament is there,why should they dress like opressed Iranian females? They're not even muslims.

You mean if I go to England they must let me drive on the right last time I checked they drive on the left ....why would they force me to drive on the left while in most of countries people drive on right?

Off-course there is no comparison, dressing up is a sign of oppression, but taking your clothes of is progress. Thank you for clarifying it for me.

Why would you believe in documentary which shows some western prejudice against India for not bowing to them

Ask me as i live here and i can tell you women can wear anything except bikinis (only in big city you wear bikinis). Only crime you would invite is staring
