\nThis has to be one of the odder images of interfaith dialogue yet. Priests and\u00a0 imams settling the Crusades on the soccer field.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

I\u2019m sad to report that my team (though I must confess to being a bit torn, being both Danish and Muslim) got thrashed 7-0, and despite some healthy trash talking (apparently, the imams made the mistake of playfully promising to \"eat them for breakfast\"; I guess the priests decided to dust off their Viking helms and just go medieval on them).<\/p>\n

Too bad the imams couldn\u2019t draft Tariq Ramadan, who I understand was an avid and talented footballer in his younger days in Switzerland.\u00a0 He could\u2019ve been our Saladin. <\/p>\n

The event was to kick off a three day \"Islam Expo\" in held Copenhagen recently.\u00a0 The background is Amalienborg<\/a>, a castle and winter home of the royal family in Copenhagen.<\/p>\n

The Danish-enabled can read about it here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Who would the \"soccer hooligans\" be here?\u00a0 Hizbul Tahrir?<\/p>\n

BTW, what\u2019s with the harnesses?<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
