  Beach volleyball's penchant for bikinis has touched off a bit of a cultural clash in the conservative Muslim city of Doha, which by hosting the Asian Games, is trying to bolster its bid to bring the 2016 Summer Olympics to the Middle East. Though 16 Muslim nations are represented at the Asian Games, only one, Iraq, is competing in women's beach volleyball.
