Muslim on an airplane & Tolerance

I don't know where this came from or it if is true.  But if it is true, the Captain and the flight attendant get a big Amen from me.


A 50-something year old Muslim man arrived at his seat on a crowded flight and immediately didn't want the seat. The seat was next to an elderly white woman reading her Bible.

Disgusted ... the Muslim man immediately summoned the flight attendant and demanded a new seat. The man said ... "I cannot sit here next to this infidel." The flight attendant said ... "Let me see if I can find another seat."

After checking ... the flight attendant returned and stated ... "There are no more seats in economy ... but I will check with the captain and see if there is something in first class."


About 10 minutes went by and the flight attendant returned and stated ... "The captain has confirmed that there are no more seats in economy ... but there is one in first class. It is our company policy to never move a person from economy to first class ... but being that it would be some sort of scandal to force a person to sit next to an UNPLEASANT person ... the captain agreed to make the switch to first class."

Before the irate Muslim man could say anything ... the attendant gestured to the elderly woman and said ... "Therefore ma'am ... if you would so kindly retrieve your personal items ... we would like to move you to the comfort of first class as the captain doesn't want you to sit next to an unpleasant person."

Passengers in the seats nearby began to applaud while some gave a standing ovation.

I say ... can I get an Amen to that.

I've seen this one several times, each with a different city, state and/or country.  So feel free to substitute your city for New York City, New York.  After all the Muslim bashing that has been going on, I'm on board with showing a little tolerance.

I think it should be the goal of every American to be tolerant.  I am truly perplexed that so many of my friends are against another mosque being built in New York.  Thus the Mosque should be allowed, in an effort to promote tolerance. 

That is why I also propose that two nightclubs be opened next door to the mosque, thereby promoting tolerance from within the mosque. 

We could call one of the clubs, which would be gay, "The Turban Cowboy", and the other a topless bar called "You Mecca Me Hot".

Next door should be a butcher shop that specializes in pork, and adjacent to that an open-pit barbeque pork restaurant, called "Iraq o' Ribs".

Across the street there could be a lingerie store called "Victoria Keeps Nothing Secret ", with sexy mannequins in the window modeling the goods.

Next door to the lingerie shop  would be an adult sex toy shop, "Koranal Knowledge", its name in flashing neon lights, and on the other side a liquor store called "Morehammered."

All of this would encourage the Muslims to demonstrate the tolerance they demand of us, so the mosque problem would be solved.
