I think it is very very do-able, almost obviously so. All we have to say is we see women as we see men...WE ARE EQUAL, GET OVER IT!

It is not a choice for muslim girls weather to wear or not to wear a hijab. It requires them to wear it and cover their bodies when they are in public. It is clearly stated in surah-e-noor and also in surah-e-ahzab how muslim women should dress in public and in private. So please do not misguide people by saying that it is their choice to wear or not to wear hijab.

It all comes down to culture. Represent ladies!...Expressing yourself physically through sport is one of the most universal forms of communication. It is important for the world to see its own diversity! This is what beauty truly is.

Its good to hear that we have our sisters coming forward and saying that they want to take apart in sports.My point is if they do feel they will have to do like how our sister do it in the far east...women only and i mean not just the teams the crowd as-well. The whole point of the hijab is so sisters are seen for talents and respectedm, not as sex objects.

i think it's great that things should change with the times. some of the traditions that have been kept for years should be altered which make them easier to follow for the people who want to follow them

Im asian, but this documentary has no place on the 1xtra website. Personally the bbc should put this documentary in another associated website. This should be relevant to most urban music liseners, not just people involved with Islam. I want to see some documentaries that many people would want to lisen to: that focus on issues surrounding urban music or its culture, so 1xtra should'nt just cater for muslim people. Also I'm not really bothered bout the hijab issue, this is Britain and people have to adapt thier lifestyles without forgetting thier traditions....I know its hard BUT deal with IT!

It's definitely possible to balance faith and sporting ambition! i'm a muslim, and i don't wear hijab, but those who do - good on them - it's personal choice in the end.

It's important that we push to encourage people of all races and faiths to participate and develop talent in sporting activities. just because a muslim girl wears hijab doesn't make her any less talented if she has the gift and definetly doesn't stop her! islam is a religion that, despite media interpretations, is definetly not an oppressive religion... in fact i know it encourages women to make the most of what they have be it through education or sport.

Always keep in mind, many of these "traditions" are cultural not religious, and a part of patriarchal societies... even today in the west girls aren't given enough credit, support or funding in male dominated sports such as cricket- i should know, i played county level youth cricket and my brother on the other hand plays for england and county level youth cricket- both were worlds apart. in the end, traditions back "home" for many muslim girls is what holds them back.

its great you're adressing this issue.. the more support we can get the more chance these girls get to play and be involved- hijab or no hijab. :]
