THE taunts -- though fortunately rare -- just roll off psychologist Monique Toohey's back. They will be away for at least five weeks, but Houli will remain in Melbourne to support his wife Rouba, who gave birth to the couple’s third child last week. "Rouba says one of the biggest myths about her faith is that the "rules" are inflexible. Bachar Houli is a Australian Rules Footballer. "A lot of people have said to me about the Brownlow, 'What will you wear?'. "I live two lives. I was more interested in sports anyway. "Just by communicating, people were able to realise similarities rather than differences.
"I've spoken to a lot of people and many are amazed and just rapt they've got a Muslim girl out there trying to show the world what we can do." Bachar Houli will remain in Melbourne to support his wife Rouba The Tigers will be away from Victoria for at least five weeks Shane Edwards is also likely to miss the club's trip to Queensland In some people's homelands, police are seen as more of an authority figure - whereas we're trying to engage with the community. It'll be a better year for both of us. "I'll have some idiot who drives past and yells out something," says Toohey, who wears a hijab -- a scarf that covers her head and neck. Breaking news, feature and stock photography, delivered at speed and on-demand. "I think (Muslims) feel like they've got more of a connection now to Victoria Police and someone who can speak their language," she says. (But) if anyone's sick or can't fast for whatever reason, you're allowed to break it. "I went on Catholic camps with youth groups, but by the end of one year I felt really comfortable with what Islam had to offer. Rouba says her husband "doesn't like shopping, so I can't take him, but that's what girlfriends are for".What makes an Aussie teenager who was raised a Catholic in suburban Springvale turn to Islam?For psychologist and mother-of-two Monique Toohey, it was the faith's treatment of women that was the clincher in her conversion at 18.She knows her reasoning may be jarring for some people, given the stereotype that "Muslim women are the victims in need of rescue while men are the aggressor or the terrorist".At 15, Toohey had joined what was then Arnott's as a sales merchandiser, the company's youngest employee to hold the title. For example, she says, Bachar was allowed to break fasting during Ramadan to attend an important AFL draft camp. Houli said that was never an issue for him and made his professional debut in 2006 for Essendon. "I might not wear the hijab, but I respect my religion a lot," she says.
"It's not my business, which is what I'd hope they'd think if they saw a Muslim woman . She graduated last June and will spend two years posted as a probationary constable to bayside Chelsea.There are also school visits, and Savran recently returned to speak at assembly at the primary school where she used to teach. "It was hard seeing him go through such a rough time - hard not only for me, but for our family and friends and the supporters.

Congratulations to Bachar Houli and his wife Rouba on the birth of their son, Mohamed. Houli is the first devout Muslim and third Muslim overall to play in the AFL.
