Russian Foreign Ministry Slams Paris Olympics Ban on Athlete in Hijab as ‘Segregation’
Sputnik – 26.07.2024
MOSCOW – France’s decision to ban an athlete in hijab, a traditional Muslim headscarf, from the Paris Summer Olympics is a “blatant act of segregation,” Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Friday.
This comes a day after French sprinter Sounkamba Sylla said she was banned from the Olympic opening ceremony because she wore a hijab.
“Another blatant act of segregation took place in Paris yesterday… It was made clear that even prior to the Games, this sporting event had nothing in common with the purposes of the Olympic movement … and in all regards contradicted the Olympic spirit,” Zakharova said.
She compared the ban to discrimination faced by Russian and Belarusian athletes and journalists at the Games, adding that the “logic of cancellation” was now affecting French sportspeople.
“One more time [the West] violates the spirit of sports outside of politics. Contrary to claims of some French officials that they are striving for diversity and freedom of expression, those who disagree are demonstrably and ostentatiously sanctioned,” Zakharova said.
The Foreign Ministry spokeswoman said that the Paris Olympics now had no reason to be seen as an open, fair or democratic sporting event.
The 2024 Summer Olympics will be held from July 26 to August 11, while the Paralympics will run from August 28 to September 8.

“As Mr. Yakub continued to preach for converts, he told his people that he would make the others work for them. (This promise came to pass.) Naturally, there are always some people around who would like to have others do their work. Those are the ones who fell for Mr. Yakub’s teaching, 100 per cent.” — The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad, chapter 55 of Message to the Blackman in America titled “The Making of Devil”
“Three blessings a Jewish man is obligated to pray daily: ‘(Blessed art Thou,) Who did not make me a gentile; Who did not make me a woman; and Who did not make me a slave.’” — Babylonian Talmud, Menahot 43b–44a
The story of the Jewish American experience that most Jews want to believe, and want the world to believe, is one of almost endless historical victimhood. They insist that they fled anti-Semitic oppression in Europe, landing safely on Ellis Island long after the Civil War’s end in 1865, and certainly some did. … continue

Is Russia a Christian state, or does it effect to have transcended Christendom, as the hypocritical, ZOG/Moneychanger-stooge West claims to have done (which is why it is dying)?
Let me state right here, I think Muslims are also zoglodytes. One can’t be formatted by Hebroid organized criminals and NOT be. Perhaps the Muslims, like the “Jews”, claim to be a manifestation of the (antisemitic) Prophets, but if that were the case, they would all be Christians, as the Prophets were working to fulfill the coming of the Messiah, which is where their rage at the Hebrew mob originated.
My point is that we all should have gone through the Christian phase by now, but the stiff-neck holdouts have hijacked the planet and diverted it to this nest of vipers, murderous multicult Globalist clown show and idiocracy we live in today.
Russia is right to point out that the ZOG West has it in for Muslims, same as it has it in for Christians, but given that these human rights institutions came out of Christendom, and even the “spirit of the Olympics” came out of Christian Logos (perfected ancient Mideast and Greco-Roman values) — not Islam, and certainly not ZOG/Hebroidism — it should note that in its official statements.
Instead, it effects to be the “scientific” arbiter of fair play, the same as the old, mass-murdering Marxist-ZOG Soviet (Bolshevik) Union.
