Mirza Doesn't Play Doubles With Pe'er to Avoid Inflaming Muslims

For goodness sakes, it's just tennis - can't we leave all the politics out of it?



From Ynetnews: Indian tennis star refuses to play with Israeli

Indian female tennis player Sania Mirza, 19, who is ranked 39th in the world, announced that she would not play with Israeli up and coming tennis star Shahar Pe’er in the doubles tournament of the Bangalore Open for fear of violent protests by India’s Islamic community.



The two friends were prevented from cooperating in last month’s Australian Open for the same reason.
