It’s no secret that the Olympics have changed quite a bit in the past few decades. Olympians are stronger, faster and better trained than before. World records are constantly being broken (Michael Phelps has broken more than two dozen) and yes, more skin is shown than ever before.

This isn’t your grandparents’ Olympics.

But because Olympians are sexier than ever and are showing more skin, there is at least one man out there calling these Games the “Bikini Olympics.” He is none other than Saudi Cleric Sheikh Muhammad Al-Munajid. He’s a Saudi Islamic lecturer and author, showing up on Saudi TV shows often. In an interview with Al-Majd TV on Sunday, Al-Munajid called the Beijing Olympics “satanic.”

How come modern sports – especially women’s sports – involve the exposure of private parts? It is well known that the Olympics – both in the past and the upcoming games … the world’s worst display of women’s clothing is the women’s Olympics. No exposure of women’s private parts on a global scale could make Satan happier than Olympic games that include women’s sports. 

This is the same dude, who in 2005, said that women soccer players shouldn’t exercise in public because they wear “tight fitting, short” outfits. In 2007 he said Western “beasts” use public toilets and wear colored underwear to “conceal all that filth.”

Clearly there are some religious issues attached to this man’s feelings, but we’re not going to get into that. Our view is that sports is a religion. And in this religion called Sports, women who are badass athletes and sexy are saints.
