Abstract
As stated on its description page, the blog Muslim Women in Sports [http://muslimwomeninsports.blogspot.ca/] (MWIS) consists of a collection of news and articles on Muslim women and sports around the world. I decided to create the blog due to a lacuna of a central repository of collected materials about Muslim women's involvement in physical activities. Since I was asked to share the background story of the blog for this book, I need to go back to May 2008, two months after the exciting yet innovative symposium on Sports and Muslim women, which took place at Concordia University in Montreal. Although the blog isn’t a by-product of the symposium, the idea was triggered after chains of events following the symposium.
