France Bans Muslim Hijabs From the Olympics

France’s Sports Minister, Amélie Oudéa-Castéra, has announced that French Muslim athletes will be barred from wearing hijabs at the Olympics. The decision is a gross violation of the religious freedom of Muslim athletes and should be condemned throughout the world. ...

There should be global outrage over the refusal to allow French Muslim women to practice their religious values. These women want to compete for their nation but their nation will not allow them to do so in a way that is consistent with their faith.
