This week's poll asks whether women athletes should be able to compete while wearing the hijab. FIFA has come under fire over the past week for disqualifying the Iran's women's soccer team because members of the team did not comply with the FIFA dress code. This issue has received a lot of attention in both the media and in the blogosphere. What do you think? Was FIFA right or should the Iranian women (and other Muslim women) be able to wear the hijab during competition?

The poll is located on the top right hand side of the original post. Feel free to leave your comments below.
