Islamic People in Exile

An American HOBO decided to write a book about famous Mosques around the world. So he bought a plane ticket and took a trip to China.

On his first day he was inside a Mosque taking photographs when he noticed a golden telephone mounted on the wall with a sign that read "$10,000 per call".

The HOBO, being intrigued, asked a priest who was strolling by what the telephone was used for. The priest replied that it was a direct line to heaven and that for $10,000 you could talk to Allah. The HOBO thanked the priest and went along his way.

Next stop was in Japan. There, at a very large Mosque, he saw the same golden telephone with the same sign under it. He wondered if this was the same kind of telephone he had seen in China and he asked a nearby Holy man what its purpose was. He told him that it was a direct line to heaven and that for $10,000 he could talk to Allah. "O.K., thank you," said the HOBO.

He then traveled to India, Sri Lanka, Russia, Turkey,Iraq,France, Germany,. In every Mosque he saw the same golden telephone with the same "$10,000 per call" sign under it.

The HOBO, upon leaving Germany decided to travel to Palestine to see if Palestine had the same phone. He arrived in Palestine, and again, in the first Mosque he entered, there was the same golden telephone, but this time the sign under it read "10 cents per call."

The HOBO was surprised so he asked the priest about the sign. "Imam, I have traveled all over World and I have seen this same golden telephone in many Mosques. I am told that it is a direct line to Heaven, but everywhere the price was $10,000 per call."

"Why is it so cheap here?"

The priest smiled and answered, "You are in Palestine now, son - it is a local call".

There are crazy fundamentalists in every religion and every culture including Islam.

There are crazy fundamentalists in every religion and culture, including Islam. People who refuse to see or respect the other sides point of view.

Normal in todays world death is not a sentence for disagreeing. In my travels of 10 years and 79 countries the dangerous religions are Islamic and sometimes Hindu. There are tribal religions that are dangerous when superstition enters the area.

THEIR GOING TO NEED A SH*TLOAD OF DIMES....HA HA HA

Yes, the Palestine people are going to need a lot of dimes to get to Heaven. The Israel people will land on their feet, and the Palestine on their backs.

I always heard the Hitler quote as:

"If you tell a line long enough, loud enough, and often enough, people will believe it."

Why do you hate the People of Palestine Andy ? Remember their land was stolen and dived up by Foreign nations and given to the Jews. Why not give the Palestinians part of Germany, and The U.K since they caused the Problem ?

I have been to Palestine, they ae not a poor country and they have the choice to leave. They are not refugees, they are living in Israel. This is my problem. It is dysfunctional and counter productive to whine about about something that happened 50 years ago. The same for Tibet, to encourage or listen to something that must be accepted is stupid. The Palestine people refuse to accept the world on its terms, therefore I refuse to accept them. If I was them, I would move to Egypt and have a life of Peace, but that never appears to be what they want.

You drop one bomb on my family and I would drop 50. If they want to declare war on Israel, this is fine, if they just want to kill innocent people by lobbing bombs into Israel, then they deserve to have 50 shot back.

I am still lightweight in talking compared to the Lebanon man here in Guatemala, he understand, this is not aboout religion. Palestine people play off the sentiments of th world to be a mafia, there are many evil people in Palestine. It is the unholy lands.

"The Palestine people refuse to accept the world on its terms, therefore I refuse to accept them. If I was them, I would move to Egypt and have a life of Peace, but that never appears to be what they want"

This shows your racism more clearly than anything.

I'm sure you wouldn't give the same advice to George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King Jr or any other revolutionary who sought to change the status quo. Fighting tyranny is revered in our society, that is, unless you happen to be fighting the tyranny of a religious and cultural ally, do that and you get branded a terrorist.

"If they want to declare war on Israel, this is fine, if they just want to kill innocent people by lobbing bombs into Israel, then they deserve to have 50 shot back"

The Palestinian people did not declare war on Israel. These so called "Israelis" (who are, in reality, Europeans that lost any trace of semitism about 500 years ago) came into Palestine with British arms and cash and turned millions of people into refugees overnight. And you have the balls to call the men giving their lives to fight this tyranny "terrorists"?

The only terrorists are the pieces of shit dropping 2 ton bombs from 10,000 feet on the heads of people too poor to afford proper housing.

"In my travels of 10 years and 79 countries the dangerous religions are Islamic and sometimes Hindu"

It's amazing to me that you can ignore the death and destruction caused by the U.S. Military, all justified with this idea of "spreading civilization", which comes directly from the Bible. Bush bombed Afghanistan and said God wanted him to do it, he attacked Iraq by saying we need to give them American (read, Christian) values. THERE ARE BIBLE VERSES INSCRIBED ON THE MILITARY'S RIFLES. Is American terrorism not the result of a dangerous religious ideal? Of course not, religious violence only bothers people like you when other people do it, if it's your own military doing the murdering you stand by and applaud like the mindless drone you are.
