Muslim-Christian soccer tie scrapped after sex row
OSLO (Reuters) - Muslim and Christian leaders in Oslo
scrapped a soccer match meant to foster understanding between
religions Saturday after the imams refused to play a team that
included women priests.
The imams said physical contact with women would be
inappropriate, NRK public television said, and the Norwegian
Christians refused a proposal of a male-only clash. The match
was to have followed talks meant to build bridges between
faiths in Norway.
"Some say that bodily contact is the problem. It leads to
special feelings that can lead to something forbidden," imam
Senaid Kobilica told NRK public television in explanation.
A woman priest from Norway's Lutheran state church, who was
part of the Christian team, said that barring women from the
pitch would be discrimination.
"It's disappointing because it means deciding to sacrifice
someone from one's own side -- women, who historically are
those who have had to give way," priest Kjersti Oestland Tveit
said. "It's a setback for sexual equality in 2007."
Her objection prompted the Christian captain to cancel the
match. "There are both men and women priests in Oslo, and you
can't have a dialogue in which everyone can take part and then
have a game where only men are allowed," Trond Bakkevig said.
