I got this via E-mail today


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.

In my opinion, it's that sort of talk on both sides (the unpleasant muslim and the patronising bloke) that keeps wars rolling along, year after weary year..

Had the email sent to me a couple of years back. Usual urban myth.

As torrenter says we could do without this attitude from either party albeit it is fabricated. Designed to stir up the wrong emotions.

I served in the 1st gulf war and I am proud to have done my bit. However I do agree that the muslim and the so called patriot just add to the grief with bigoted attitudes to each other. We should just pull our boys out and leave them to it. Now the place is back in control a bit send all the iraqis home and look after our own such as denise in the b&b looking at a grim xmas....

I'm also wondering if it's true, me personally wouldn't have been able to pull that paragraph together in a week let a lone of the cuff as claimed!!!

Let's hope it is true and let's hope that someone did buy the bloke a drink. I really don't understand why others seem to think that he did something wrong. He stood up to an agressive, bullying and offensive woman in a polite and firm manner. Personally I would have called the police.

Michael, it didn't happen! It is a work of fiction.

There was no "agressive, bullying and offensive woman".

I know that is probably the case. That's why I wrote 'let's hope' at the start.

But let's pretend for a moment that it did happen. Just what did the hypothetical bloke do that was wrong?

I think people like the fictitious women are best ignored. I worked in Ireland in the mid 70's and early 80's when because of my english accent I had remarks like that directed to me. These people want to have a aurgument which will accomplish nothing.

(Unemployment was also high and one day someone said it was wrong that I had come from England and taken a job away from a local person. Thought that was a bit much as at that time thousands of Irish people were working in England!!)
