        This was a half story about her working hard in spite of her impairment but why the religious angle? Then I started to think a boxing class only for muslim women who want to train without the hijab is exclusive and discriminating.

        Hi Matthew. Hope you are well. The classes are not just for Muslims lol. We don't ask religion when you attend. So ladies from the class attend other classes and similarly ladies from other class use this as a catch up if they miss classes during the week 😄

        Not a problem. Thank you! Maybe we will see you at the clubs up coming fights to cheer on the local talent. Some if the boxers are really go places.

        Another Muslim article by the BBC... it would be interesting to know how much time the BBC award to Islamic issues considering they only make up 5% of the population.

        She's a visually impaired female boxer? Her religion isn't really that important to the story is it? Been plenty of Muslim boxers in the past, one of them my hero Mohammad Ali.
