muslimswearingthings: Bilqis Abdul-Qaadir practices for her debut with the University of Memphis after a knee injury last year postponed her freshman season. When she takes the floor this year, she will be the only Muslim woman playing Division 1 basketball, while covering her hair and her limbs. I think this is really awesome.  Just another example of the wonderful of tolerance, diversity, and acceptance alive in the South.  And, best of all, in my hometown!
