Sporting
"In 1600 these dramatic fantasies became a reality, as Londoners who had spent more than a decade watching plays filled with raging Turks and duplicitous Moors sporting turbans and bran- dishing scimitars were now able to see real-life Muslims like al- Annuri moving around London with their entourages, conducting diplomacy and doing business at the highest levels of Elizabethan society." (Jerry Brotton, This Orient Isle- Elizabethan England and the Islamic World)
