I just think they were frightened of being beaten by a bunch of girls. That and their religion is on the nuts side of evil.

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.

No soup for you goat boy!

Forget about whether this is right or wrong for a minute. Don’t you think that whomever organized this game might have foreseen this coming? The things that could be avoided with just a little thinking.

[GBA]

Good call.

(physical contact with woman would be inappropriate)
The Norwegians had better teach goats to play soccer.

It leads to special feelings that can lead to something forbidden

Where do I start....no, I don't want to get banned.

MUSLIM and Christian leaders in Oslo scrapped a soccer match meant to foster understanding

Well, why didn't it foster understanding? Christians should now understand that Muslims think women are lower than whale sperm.

Sorry, I’m with the Imams on this one.

You can’t play men against girls in this situation, either the girls would get severely injured, or the men would have to “play soft” just to ensure women weren’t hurt, in which case, the game, as a contest, is meaningless.

just think they were frightened of being beaten by a bunch of girls.

LOL! Good point. ;o)

[Paleo Conservative]

Here's what they really meant to say,

We play like girls, say imams

[Contra]

These people are just gay as all get out. They have no problem kissing men.

[JoeSixPack1]

What the hey,,, they already walked out on Condi because the room Violinist was showing too much “wrist”!

[Vince Ferrer]

... meant to foster understanding between religions

It worked

"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...

How about offering to play them football. We'll kick, they can receive...

[Freedom_Is_Not_Free]

What a wonderful illustration contrasting Christianity and Islam. Christianity is inclusive. Islam is intolerant.

Well, that and they behead and stone people and perform clitorectomies...

[flowerplough]

Not playing girls, they say? Funny, I’ve often read that an unfortunate number of Imams, Mullahs, and other authority figures in Muslim madrassahs often force certain male students to “play girl” late at night.

It leads to special feelings that can lead to something forbidden," imam Senaid Kobilica told NRK public television in explanation.
Once again we're shown that Islamic men have no desire or ability to control their own lustful nature and thoughts. And naturally it would be the women's fault that such "special feelings" came about.
Every day men around the world control their lustful nature and thoughts yet these "paragons of virtue" can't control their thoughts from merely touching a woman during a sporting event?
They act like they're in a perpetual rut.

[upsdriver]

I’m with the imans on this one. In the first place, women shouldn’t be priests, so they shouldn’t even be on the team.

[AmericaUnited]

I think it would be reasonable to scrap the soccer match and instead do mud wrestling.
