Sonny Bill Williams fan wears All Blacks 'rugby hijab' with pride Posted Image All Blacks supporter and Sonny Bill Williams fan Rehana Ali had to make her own "rugby hijab" to avoid copyright issues. The Aucklander captured attention on Saturday night wearing her special homemade All Blacks hijab at the test match against South Africa. The idea of a "rugby hijab" was suggested to her by her sons during the 2011 Rugby World Cup and Ali said she always wears it on game day. *** Ali said it was important for the Muslim community to come forward and share their identity as it should be commonplace in such a multi cultural country as New Zealand. "I have a social life as well and being a Muslim shouldn't make any difference. I am an individual just like you." Her message to other Muslims, whether they are rugby fans or not, was "don't be shy to show your identity and wear your religion proudly". "We should all respect one another's religion." FYI ... Sonny Bill Williams is a professional NZ All Black Rugby player, and he is a muslim. https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/rugby/96956211/sonny-bill-williams-fan-fan-wears-all-blacks-rugby-hijab-with-pride |
