Here's a little "joke" that's been circulating as of late:
Three strangers strike up a conversation in the airport passenger lounge in Bozeman, Montana, while awaiting their respective flights.
One is an American Indian passing through from Lame Deer.
Another is a Cowboy on his way to Billings for a livestock
show and the third passenger is a fundamentalist Arab
student, newly arrived at Montana State University from
the Middle East.
Their discussion drifts to their diverse cultures.
Soon, the two Westerners learn that the Arab is a
devout, radical Muslim and the conversation falls
into an uneasy lull.
The cowboy leans back in his chair, crosses his
boots on a magazine table and tips his big
sweat-stained hat forward over his face. The wind
outside is blowing tumbleweeds around, and the
old windsock is flapping; but still no plane comes.
Finally, the American Indian clears his throat and
softly he speaks, "At one time here, my people were
many, but sadly, now we are few."
The Muslim student raises an eyebrow and leans forward,
"Once my people were few," he sneers,
"and now we are many. Why do you suppose that is?"
The Montana cowboy shifts his toothpick to one side
of his mouth and from the darkness beneath his Stetson
says in a smooth drawl ......
"That's 'cause we ain't played Cowboys and Muslims
yet, but I do believe it's a-comin´".
:mad:
There was a conversation that followed this. I mentioned it's a sick "joke." The person who posted this on the blog I was reading responded with: "You liberals don't understand these people are trying to kill us."
I had to explain to him that Muslims and islamic fundamentlism were two different things.
ergh...
:mad:
