Iranian ruling on women sports is wrong

With reference an item on Muslim debates about Iranian clergy's opposition to women participatin in sports. This amounts to oppression against women - did the Clergy know that women have rights to believe in what they do, the Quraan goes far out to suggest that a Muslim man can marry a Jewish and Christian woman and she can practice her own faith. (Research is pending to dismantle the propagation that a Muslim Woman can do the same).

This ruling is contrary to Islamic beliefs, and we hope some one issues a Fatwa against these 'men' that they are not Muslims any more when they go against the very essence of Islam; Freedom, thus rendering both Fatwas ridiculous.

Muslim Debate site writes: "Iran senior Muslim cleric against participation of women in Asian Games, saying women sports are product of West dirty culture. Is true almost every thing in Muslim world is from the west because we Muslims didn't create anything in the last centuries. But can we clean this dirt with our Burqa, suicide bombing, hypocrisy or dictator corrupt governments? www.muslimsdebate.com/faces/sn.php?nid=1332"
