Muslim Mothers and President Bush
Posted: Thu Sep 14, 2006 1:06 pm
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!"
:D
