A TRUE STORY - Found on Mr Chris Amos's Facebook that really hits home.
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.
IF YOU AGREE... Pass this on to all of your proud English friends.. I
just did.............!!!
