And secretly, the imams will watch porn later

Straight from The Onion. Except that its not. Too strange to be real.

Soccer game for priests, imams, caceled

STOCKHOLM, Sweden - A soccer game between Muslim imams and Christian priests at the end of a conference to promote interfaith dialogue was canceled Saturday because the teams could not agree on whether women priests should take part.

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

The church decided to drop its female players [Cowards...] and the priests’ team captain walked out in protest.

Hours before the game was to end the daylong “Shoulder to Shoulder” conference in Oslo, the church released a statement saying it had called off the match because it was sending the wrong signal.

I don't think the women are anywhere near as strange as the imams.

But yeah, so much for "dialogue". Sort of like when the Muslim Student Union at UCI pulled out of an "interfaith dialog" because of the Jews present.

Interfaith talks are always pulled apart in Malaysia because some morons think it is stupid...

They have happened before, though. Can't remember where.*
