A Muslim man is not allowed to carry a woman on his shoulder, how is this happening?

No hate but when you see the Fight you see that Khelif is Not on the technicial level of her Opponents, ist juste the Physik that breaks them. It is clearly Not fair

The only thing we can do is write to the Olympics and boycott them. Stopped watching all Olympic Games after this and will boycott their sponsors.

Imane Khelif did not only beat up women and get away with it. He was rewarded with a gold medal. It's sickening.

Male won gold in female olympic boxing,
Good history

[Bigjay]

I remember when a man would beat up a woman and go to jail, not win a medal???

[simonjordache]

Just googled and apparently Muslim men are forbidden from even shaking a Muslim woman’s hand. Didn’t mention anything though about carrying a Muslim woman with her legs wrapped around your neck 😂

[Mojames]

Algeria’s only chance at an Olympic gold medal was to put an XY vs XX in a boxing ring

[jesseluve]

As far as I know, in Muslim countries, it's forbidden for a woman to have physical contact with a man other than her husband. Look, what happened when the game ended😂

[hermanspaerman]

Clown Olympics. And people wonder why interest in Olympic games is fading.

[ValeryLegasov]

A creature that is neither a man nor a woman is destroying the women's boxing match. This is a very terrible affair.

[chrisverby]

Well, the guy carrying khelif out of the ring with kehlif's legs around the his neck should be able to confirm if he is male or female.

[Ecoxiss]

Can't believe a guy just won the womens olympic boxing.

[michaelfortenberry]

As an American, we take responsibility. This level of idiocy could only start in the United States.

The thumbnail raised a question. Is it customary for a Muslim man carry 25 years old Muslim woman on shoulders even if they are related? I can imagine a father carry his young daughter, under 10, on the shoulders. In all the wild celebrations of Olympic gold medals, in more open societies w/r/t how women should behave in public, this takes the cake. Maybe just maybe both know they are of the same sex? Otherwise I can’t imagine even if they were brother and sister.

What part of Imane's face, body, muscle, voice, and Y sex chromosome would be considered female athletes?
