Muslim-Christian Soccer Match Fouls Out

Dispute Over Playing Of Women Priests Sidelines Interfaith Game At Religious Cooperation Conference

(AP)  A soccer game bringing Muslim imams and Christian priests "shoulder to shoulder" on a field in Norway was canceled Saturday because the teams could not agree on whether women priests should take part.

The game was to mark the end of a daylong "Shoulder to Shoulder" conference in Oslo that encouraged religious dialogue between the two faiths.

Church of Norway spokesman Olav Fykse Tveit said differences began when the imams refused to play against a mixed-gender team of priests because it would have gone against their religious beliefs in avoiding close physical contact with women.

"We found that out two days before, but because we thought it would be a nice conclusion of the conference we didn't want to call it off, so we decided to stage an all-mens team game instead," he said.

But when the church decided to drop its female players, the priest team captain walked out in protest.

Just hours before Saturday's scheduled game, the church released a statement saying it had called it off because it was sending the wrong signal.

"We realize now that it will be wrong to have a priest team without women... The reactions we have had today shows us that this is being interpreted as a gender-political issue. This is why we cannot go through with the soccer match."

Fykse Tveit said that, despite the differences on the field, "one very good lesson we've learned from this is that when we cooperate, we also enter each others boundaries, and that's a positive thing."

Just more proof of the Islamic faith's position to keep women as second class citizens and slaves.

-Big effort to come up with such a ****** conclusion Kingdong69? You did eh? Nice try.

-The real question is the Muslim Priests would be wondering whom the kids born after the game would belong to?

Which real man would play a man's game with females?

Where is the challenge to play females at soccer, when one has to be concerned about harming the 'weaker s-ex'?

To hell with the islamic insanity; but real men playing soccer with females is dumb!

Anyway, for the christians side, IT IS GOOD TO SEE THAT THE PERVERTED PRIESTS ARE MAKING AN ATTEMPT TO PLAY WITH FEMALES, and stop sodomizing and traumatizing the little boys!

Agnim

WOW, I actually agree with you for once. A football match with both men and women is just daft.

All male or all female teams fine. But mixed is pointless.

It's nothing to do with religion, it's a matter of ability.

[gaye5]

Agnim I agree with some of what you say.. and as a woman, I can see no sense in playing such a rough game.. didnt such rough games come about to help get rid of some of that build up testerone in MEN..

If I was one of these preists I would be scared of hurting one of the woman in case she sued me, and with the large number of stupid Judges we have now the woman would be likely to win..

[gaye5]

Hey, I see that the Muslim world want the infidel to apologise for the cartoons of Mohammad.. there is no discussion of an apology from Muslims on the billions of dollars of damage done by Muslims world wide nor nothing said about the many deaths caused by Muslims and they want us to apologise.. These guys think that they have us on the run and they are right we give in to them at every whim..

What about other races it is always Muslim this, Muslims that, Muslims complain, muslims want sharia. While other nations live peacefully in the land of their adoption thankful that they have been saved from the hell that they were in, but NOT THE MUSLIMS thy outrage against any little thing..
Mohammad said that a Terrorised people were easier to conquer...

Of course!
These devilish christians perverted priests are trying to pull one over on the maniac muslim men the same way they have been pulling two many over the children when they sodomize and traumatize them.

If we really want to soften up the insane islamists, then empty a few mosques and level them and recycle a few korans for toilet paper. LOL

Yeah, I'm sure you will agree from experience that if anything females should play a 'rough game' with males only if the balls are much smaller and less round, right? LOL

ROTFLMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank GOD I'm an ATHIEST! LOL!!

Honestly, this is the first logical thing I've seen muslims request. I believe in this country there are
two kinds of feminists - those who insist that women are just as intelligent as men and deserve the same pay and the same rights. Then there are the women who think they're better than men, insist on unrealistic terms and make the whole thing harder for everyone. I think this incident with the soccer game is a prime example of unrealistic. It's been proven over and over that in general men are stronger physically than women, and those who chose to not accept it, male or female is being unrealistic.

Second, playing against women is against their religion. It would be like asking a Jew to eat pork or the priests to denounce Christ to play against women. We commonly give in to these people when it comes to important stuff, but we walk away when it comes to something legitimate. Can these priests really be that incredibly stupid, or are we not getting the story correctly?

[stezzer]

Agnim

You know something old chap? I'm starting to think you may be a genius. A deliberately provocative, argumentative genius, but clever old boy, nevertheless.

[toolmangler-2009]

If someone like Agnim can see the stupidity of such contests then "WHY" cannot the normal world see it?

[zootallures2]

Who cares? Got any more dumb arse ideas? Hierachial society suks moose wang, no matter what dumb k-rap you try to stir the dirty old pot with.

[mr_right_]

hahaha fool Preists.

Away from religion this sound too dumb to play against women football!

there is always a limit men are men and women are women! you can not change the fact.


Why we not see women boxing match against men?!!!

Why all those feminist voices silent?!!

[gaye5]

jscribe58, I do not believe in the feminist movement, however although extreme it has brought some common sense into play...
I will be howled down for this but I believe that women men and women are equal but in their different ways. There is no doubt that women are more nurturing than men and men are more mechanical etc etc etc.., not with standing that they can both do any job that they want too but each do best at their gift..
Women, are meant to be the more gentle of the species, however some women want to be more men that men... shame eh...
I wonder if our society would have gone down the drain so quickly if women had of brought their children up instead of a whole lot of different day care teachers... I refuse to do this to my children..
This is well off the subject but interesting anyway..
Is this just Muslims wanting to dupe us into believing that they are just wonderful ministers happy to play soccer with the hated infidels, nah, just another trick to make us believe that the Quran really doesnt say that when the time is right that they are to slaughter all in the world who will not submit...

[gaye5]

Women, are meant to be the more gentle of the species, however some women want to be more men than men... shame eh...

sorry I spelt a word wrong...

Tens of thousands of people slaughtered every year by muslims and there is no outrage yet a few catoons and the whole muslim world is outraged... So until their own Imams and leaders start punnishing with their lives those who they say are extreemists, then we cant believe that they mean what they say.. EVERY quran would have to be destroyed to avoid what they intend for us in the future, but dont worry lads we will just keep sleeping until their numbers have mutiplied enough to be able to slaughter us all if we dont submit..
Their 4 wives stay at home, mutiply and educate their many children about the hated Indfidels..

[gaye5]

ToolMangler, I have much on the Quran and some of their other holy books and when they try to tell us that it is a religion of peace, they must only be reading the first quarter of the Quran which is indeed full of love, tolerance, etc but once Mohammad acquired enough numbers to become a force he became a force by their gods orders Mohammad said, which Mohammad obviously intended from the beginning..
That is shown up in the fact that he chose one of the gods which was a god of agriculture, war and the sword.. so his intentions were obvious from the beginning.
But our stupid world leaders continue to take council from Imams, and Muslims, however if our leaders read the last three quarters of the quran themselves they would see that although lying is against Islam that Muslims are allowed to lie for the cause of Allah, to the infidel, in times of war, to help in an argument for their own safety sake, and to their wives etc etc as long as they do not mean it in their hearts, in other words they can lie at the drop of a hat..and as they consider that we are opressing them because we dont give them open slather, and they say that they are at war with us, we are the infidel, and for the cause of allah which is to slaughter all who will not submit, we are in a very dangerious spot and our leaders keep sleeping, while they mutilply like flies.
