A friend sent me this, it is something I agree with totally and just wanted to share.
Some may agree, some may not.


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, as she reached the cashier, she made a loud remark about
the 'British 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. 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 Britain, which is MY country and allowing 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 British people that 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". "Finally, when you get there, if you manage to survive
for being as outspoken as you are being here in Britain, 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 British
and American friends..

    I 100% agree with what that man said in the que line. I would have cheered and applauded louder than anyone in that line!
