Hijab a Physical Threat?
An 11-year-old Ottawa girl was asked to leave the field at a soccer tournament in Laval this weekend for wearing a hijab.
The Ottawa Sun and Ottawa Citizen reports Asmahan Mansour was forced to leave the field after the referee expressed concerns the hijab was a physical threat to the other players.
The coach pulled Mansour and the Nepean Hotspurs under-12 girls soccer team out of the tournament. Four other Ottawa youth soccer teams also forfeited the tournament.
It must have been one of those wild and crazy, leap off their owner and strangle innocent bystanders hijabs. After all, its not like the good people of Quebec have ever done or said anything that would indicate a predisposition to bigotry concerning minorities
