Blessed Posted August 9, 2008 ^LOL. Ibti, Same name and that smile. I can't see the photos but from the videos he looks like he put on some weight. But he is married now, so maybe that explains it.. LOL. What are the odds.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Urban Posted August 9, 2008 I was watching the news this morning, and it was very sad to see what's happened to some chinese families, they lost their homes to make way for Olympic developments. I was probably living in a cave for the last couple of months or so, but this only caught my attention now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rahima Posted August 9, 2008 Ibtisam, Those women are not atheletes. That said however, just because a sister might be competing in the games, it does not mean that she can't half-try. I'm sure it can never be xalaal, but she can at least try to minimise the sin. Praying once a day is better than not praying at all. You can't argue that just because i'm in sin, i might as well just add more to it. From a personal perspective though, i found it distasteful that they were representing a country where most women where the hijab, yet none of them were.
