Muslim Mothers and President Bush

[911]

Two Muslim mothers are sitting in a cafe chatting over a pint of goat's

milk. The older of the mothers pulls her bag out and starts flipping

through photos and they start reminiscing.

"This is my oldest son, Mohammed. He's 24 years old now."

"Yes, I remember him as a baby," says the other mother, cheerfully.

"He's a martyr now, though," mum confides.

"Oh, so sad dear," says the other.

"And this is my second son, Kalid. He's 21."

"Oh, I remember him," says the other, happily. "He had such curly hair when

he was born."

"He's a martyr, too," says mum, quietly.

"Oh gracious me," says the other.

"And this is my third son. My baby. My beautiful Ahmed. He's 18," she

whispers.

"Yes," says the friend enthusiastically, "I remember when he first started

school."

"He is a martyr, also," says mum, with tears in her eyes.



After a pause and a deep sigh, the second Muslim mother looks wistfully at

the photographs and says. "They blow up so fast, don't they?"

AND

The Iranian Ambassador to the UN had just finished

giving a highly charged political speech blasting the U.S.,

and as he walked out into the lobby of the UN Council,

he met President Bush.

They shook hands with some ammount of diplomacy, and

as they walked through the building, the Iranian said,

"You know, I have just one question about what I

have seen in this evil devil-land, America.

President Bush smiled diplomatically and said, "....Well,

Mister Ambassador, anything I can do to help you, I will."

The Iranian smirked, and said with an attitude in his voice,

"My son watches this American show, 'Star Trek' ...and

in it there is Chekhov who is Russian, Scotty who is

Scottish, and Sulu who is Chinese ......but no Arabs. My

son is very upset and doesn't understand why there aren't

any Iranians on Star Trek!!"

President Bush laughed, leaned toward the angered Iranian

ambassador, and whispered,

"That's because it takes place in the future!"

YES, They have jokes about us but damn if were allowed to laugh at them. Look at what their doing to the POPE! for crying out loud. Over a silly innocent speech. And earlier this year with the jokes from The Netherlands. Honestly, these people are twofaced.

Fortunately, when you talk about *any* group of people, or indeed nation,

the "these people" component are always in a minority, usually small. Any

nation. We all have them. IMO it is best not to tar everyone with the same

brush.
