  • EOC PRESIDENT EOC Newsletter
    EOC Newsletter No. 193 June 2019 MESSAGE FROM THE EOC PRESIDENT Dear colleagues, Allow me to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you for contributing to the success of the 2nd European Games Minsk 2019, which I am sure you will agree was an excellent competition that far surpassed our expectations. Athletes from all 50 of our European National Olympic Committees competed in Minsk, the smallest delegation being Liechtenstein with one athlete, and the largest being Russia with 224. In total, 43 countries returned home with at least one medal. We have received overwhelmingly positive feedback from all stakeholders, in particular the athletes, who said they were impressed with the state-of-the-art venues, the excellent conditions at the Athletes’ Village and the overall organisation of the Games. Our gratitude must be extended to our friends at the Minsk European Games Organising Committee for their dedication to the European Games project and the quality of their work in the lead up to and during the event. I would also like to thank EOC Coordination Commission Chair Spyros Capralos, who deservedly became an IOC Member during the Games, for his unwavering support and invaluable advice from the moment he and the rest of the Commission were named. It is thanks to their efforts that our athletes could focus all their energies on what mattered most – the competition. As a result, we were treated to some amazing athletic achievements in Minsk. Some set personal bests, others were crowned European champions, while a good number also booked their tickets to the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020.

  • Exploring Inclusion and Alienation Within the Sport Experiences of Hijabi Athletes in Ontario
    In and Out: Exploring Inclusion and Alienation within the Sport Experiences of Hijabi Athletes in Ontario by Asma Ahmed Abdin Khalil A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Science Graduate Department of Exercise Sciences University of Toronto © Copyright by Asma Ahmed Abdin Khalil 2018 In and Out: Exploring Inclusion and Alienation within the Sport Experiences of Hijabi Athletes in Ontario Asma Ahmed Abdin Khalil Master of Science Graduate Department of Exercise Sciences University of Toronto 2018 Abstract Western sport environments may create challenges for young Muslim women who choose to participate while adhering to their Islamic values and principles. In this way, participation in sport may serve to exclude young Muslim women when cultural and religious needs are not met. The purpose of this study was to explore how young Muslim women who wear the hijab experience inclusion or alienation due to their involvement in sport in Ontario. Data collection with seven Hijabi athletes consisted of semi-structured interviews and audio-diaries recorded over a one-month period to examine identity negotiation, social interactions with non-Muslim teammates and coaches, and the influence of broader discourses on the sport experiences of young Muslim women. Results pertained to solidarity as well as Islamophobic interactions with teammates, surveillance due to hypervisibility of the hijab, and behaviour modification. This research highlights the heterogeneity of Muslim women in Ontario and how they navigate sport experiences. ii Acknowledgements I am incredibly grateful for all the excitement, challenges and joy I have experienced these past two years. Alhamdulillah. I want to thank my wonderful research participants for the time and energy they put into this project.

    The Islamic Research Foundation (IRF) is an International Resource Centre on Islam and Comparative Religion. To facilitate information and research in the field of Comparative Religion, we have made available a huge collection of books and CD-ROMs on all the major world Religion. The books include, Religious Scriptures in the original text, transliterations and their translations. We also have various Encyclopedias of world Religions and books by distinguished personalities of various religions. We also have a unique collection of CD-ROMs which adds immense value for both information and research work. Islam is a Semitic religion, which has over one billion adherents all over the world. Islam means "submission to the will of God". Muslims accept the Qur’an, as the word of God revealed to His last and final prophet, Mohammed (peace be upon him). Islam states that Allah sent messengers and prophets throughout the ages with the message of Unity of God, and accountability in the Hereafter. Islam thus makes it an article of faith to believe in all the earlier prophets, starting with Adam, and continuing with Noah, Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, David, John and Jesus amongst many others (may peace be on them all). CONCEPT OF GOD IN ISLAM by Dr. Zakir Naik The Most Concise Definition of God: The most concise definition of God in Islam is given in the four verses of Surah Ikhlas which is Chapter 112 of the Qur’an: "Say: He is Allah, The One and Only. "Allah, the Eternal, Absolute. "He begets not, nor is He begotten. And there is none like unto Him." [Al-Qur’an 112:1-4] The word ‘Assamad’ is difficult to translate.
