I think i'm going to close the thread since people have said what they've had to. Otherwise it's probably going to lead to arguments, like the posts which i've just had to delete - right after bro Muezzin called against it.

FIFA rejects hijab
CAIRO — The expulsion of a Canadian Muslim footballer from a match for wearing hijab has taken a dramatic and global dimension after the game's ultimate regulators backed the decision, Canada's The Gazette daily reported on Sunday, March 4.
"It's absolutely right to be sensitive to people's thoughts and philosophies," Brian Barwick, a member of the International Football Association Board (IFAB), the guardian of the Laws of the Game, said after a meeting on Saturday, March 3.
"But, equally, there has to be a set of laws that are adhered to - and we favor Law 4 being adhered to."
The fourth rule lists the items a player is entitled to wear and makes no reference to head covers.
It also stipulates that "a player must not use equipment or wear anything that is dangerous to himself or any other player."
Last week, a Canadian referee ejected 11-year-old Asmahan Mansour during a National game for wearing the hijab on safety and security grounds.
The Quebec Soccer Federation insisted the referee was enforcing international guidelines regarding equipment and safety rules.
IFAB, which administers the rules for the Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), ruled that the referee made the correct decision.
"If you play football, there's a set of laws and rules. Law 4 outlines basic equipment," Barwick said.
FIFA also weighed in.
"The wearing of a hijab is already covered by Law 4 on Players' Equipment," it said in a news release following IFAB's meeting.
Until last week, FIFA's position was somehow different.
FIFA official Nicholas Maing had told The Gazette that "there is nothing prohibiting hijab" in the laws of the game.
He cited how goalkeepers are allowed to wear protective caps and head guards.
