An incident occurred in a supermarket recently, when the following
was witnessed:
A Muslim woman dressed in a Burkha (A black gown & face mask) was
standing with her shopping in a queue at the checkout.
When it was her turn to be served, and as she reached the cashier,
she made a loud remark about the English Flag lapel pin, which the
female cashier was wearing on her blouse.
The cashier reached up and touched the pin and said, "Yes, I always
wear it proudly. My son serves abroad with the forces and I wear it for
him".
The Muslim woman then asked the cashier when she was going to stop
bombing and killing her countrymen, explaining that she was Iraqi.
At that point, a Gentleman standing in the queue stepped forward,
and interrupted with a calm and gentle voice, and said to the Iraqi woman:
"Excuse me, but hundreds of thousands of men and women, just like
this ladies son have fought and sacrificed their lives so that people
just like YOU can stand here, in England, which is MY country and allow you
to
blatantly accuse an innocent check-out cashier of bombing YOUR
countrymen.
It is my belief that if you were allowed to be as outspoken as that
in Iraq, which you claim to be YOUR country, then we wouldn't need to
be fighting there today. "However - now that you have learned how to
speak out and criticise the English people who have afforded you the
protection of MY country, I will gladly pay the cost of a ticket to help
you
pay your way back to Iraq".
"When you get there, and if you manage to survive for being as outspoken
as what you are here in England, then you should be able to help
straighten out the mess which YOUR Iraqi countrymen have got you
into in the first place, which appears to be the reason that you have
come to MY country to avoid."
Apparently the queue cheered and applauded.
