When Sifan Hassan stepped onto the Olympic podium to accept her gold medal for the record-setting marathon she ran on Sunday, she used her platform to show support to Muslim women around the world by wearing a hijab. In many parts of the world, the choice wouldn’t have been noteworthy, but in Paris, where French athletes were banned from wearing hijabs during this year’s Olympics, it sent a powerful message.
Hassan — an Ethiopian-born Dutch athlete — doesn’t appear to usually wear a hijab, making her decision to wear one on Sunday night all the more stirring. On X, people praised her decision to support athletes and other hijabis in France, who are frequently discriminated against for wearing religious coverings.
For once you see that your western culture is weak, not rooted enough in history.
Just accept the fact and refrain from despising others !!!
