Muslim girls and College 2

Even though Muslim girls are expected to be modest in everything especially their clothes but that does not keep them from participating in anything they want. For example girls can play any sport they want. Girls don't have to wear shorts or sleeveless tops to participate in a sport. They can wear pants and shirts that have long sleeves to participate in any sport they want. Their are professional leagues in Muslim countries. One interesting sport that is played in Iran is Paint ball, their is a professional girls team for paint ball. Most Middle Eastern usually participate in Soccer because it is a very popular sport in their countries. I know some girls who are not allowed to wear long pants in soccer so they wear short but then they wear tights under it. Girls can even participate in swimming their are special kind of attire for Muslim girls to wear if they want to swim. I know this may sound like "Well what's the big deal?" But some people out their think that just because Muslim girls are expected to be modest they can't do anything "fun" or participate in anything they want. And that is certainly false. Just to put it out their, just like their are family's from every religion who are harder on their children their are also Muslim families who don't allow their children to participate in such things. But from a religious point of view Muslim girls can participate in any sport they want as long as they are modest.

I do agree people think that because Muslim girls have Hijabs then they are just girls who have boring lives. And that is certainly not true.

Even though I'm a guy I can kind of relate to this because even Muslim guys have some kind of difficulties and peer pressure in school.
