Muslims demand female Tunisian Olympic silver medal winner be stripped of her citizenship for not respecting Islam

(Tunis)  I don't know about you, but for the past fortnight I watched and fully enjoyed the Olympic Games. Held every 4 years, these games allow the best in their field to compete and see just who is the best in their field in the world. Many counties take part in which to showcase their champions.

One such champion was Habiba Ghribi, a young girl competing for Tunisia, who got the country's first Olympic medal of the games when she won silver in the 3,000-metre steeplechase. Something to be proud about you'd think. Well, not to the pious Koran bridge who are demanding that she be stripped of her citizenship for not respecting Islamic mores, because they felt her running gear was too revealing, really:


Then they complained about swimmer Oussama Mellouli for drinking juice before racing. He won gold in the 10 km marathon and bronze in the 1,500 metres freestyle.

You'd think that these people would be proud of these athletes winning Olympic medals for their country. But no, to them they broke the law and as such much be punished. Welcome to the world of Islam.
