A Priest, A Rabbi, and An Imam Walk Into a Bar...
Well, that's what this sounds like:
Christian ministers will tackle Muslim imams in a pre-World Cup friendly officiated by a Jewish referee as part of an initiative aimed at increasing understanding among religions, it was announced Wednesday.I don't know... if the Jewish officials appear to be biased in any way, won't that lead to a fatwa and other jihadiness? Especially if the Imams are friends of Mad Mahmoud... just sayin'...
The eight-a-side match presided over by three Jewish officials was organised by the German Protestant Church and will take place Saturday, just over a month before the big World Cup kick-off on June 9.
The friendly match is part of a wider initiative associated with a conference organised by the British Embassy in Berlin on integration, racism and football and will be the first such match in Germany, according to the Church of Berlin and Brandenbourg.
