Muslim high school athletes in Maine have been gifted with new hijabs guaranteed not to fall off during sporting events, CBS News reports:

Deering High School in Portland, Maine, is providing sport hijabs with the goal of making Muslim girls comfortable - and boosting their participation in sports. The lightweight scarves stay put and are less bulky than other hijabs, garments that cover the hair and are worn by many Muslim women to express their faith.

Two non-Muslim students raised all the money themselves to buy the religious head coverings for their teammates to avoid criticisms about the separation of church and state:

Tennis co-captains Liva Pierce and Anaise Manikunda raised more than $800 online to buy the sporty hijabs for their Muslim teammates after the school's athletic director learned of the product. They solicited private donations to avoid criticism for using taxpayer funds on religious apparel, and ended up with enough to outfit all teams, including lacrosse, soccer, volleyball, softball, field hockey and track.

Council on American-Islamic Relations spokesman Ibrahim Hooper praised Deering High School for being the first in the U.S. to provide hijabs for Muslim athletes.

One Muslim lacrosse player at Deering said, “We're more confident on the field. This one doesn't fall off. No matter what I do, it won't fall off."

“Muslim students at Deering said they were grateful for the support at a time when President Trump has pushed to ban travel from several Muslim countries,” the CBS report eagerly points out. It then adds, “Maine - the nation's whitest state - is becoming more culturally and racially diverse with immigration. There are about 10,000 African newcomers, mostly from Somalia and Sudan in Maine's two largest cities, while others have come from the Middle East.”

The school’s athletic director, Melanie Craig, said, “Our kids know that, when they come in through our door, they're safe, they're honored and we honor individuality. And this was one way we could do it.”

"We're hopeful that this does encourage more Muslim female athletes to participate," Craig added. "I do believe it has held some of them back. It takes courage for them to stand out here and honor who they are and their diversity."

One outgoing senior who was born in Iraq, Israa Enan, said her parents didn’t want her playing sports because of the uniforms and so she didn’t go out for the tennis team.

"I wished I was one of these girls who wear the hijabs and play with it, but it's OK," Enan said. "I'm too late now [but] happy for the other girls who have the opportunity now to wear the hijab and be more comfortable doing the things they like to do."

As the CBS News report notes, this trend was motived by 2016 Rio Olympic Games fencing medalist and media darling Ibtihaj Muhammad who was the first American to compete wearing a hijab. However, what everyone still continues to ignore is Muhammad’s hatred for Israel, which comes with the territory for Muslims.

It’s not only Nike that’s making sports hijabs. The company behind these is Asiya, out of Minnesota. Asiya, run by a Somalia native, is soon moving headquarters to New York to keep up with demand. The company was named after Asiya bint Muzahim, “a key figure in Islamic history known for standing up to injustice,” the report states. According to Wikipedia, Asiya is considered by Muslims as one of the greatest women of all time. The Koran teaches that she was married to Pharoah during the time of Moses and was killed by her husband for believing in monotheism and submitting herself to Allah.

So, she was killed for being an infidel, then. Welcome to Islam. Enjoy your hijabs, girls.
