Lost in Translation?

Embracing Idiocy

Achelois:

Last year Aly’s cousin accepted Islam. He is the latest person to become Muslim in Aly’s growing Muslim family. To celebrate the occasion all the Muslim cousins and their spouses took him to a halal restaurant in East London. As we were gathered around the table filled with platters of kebabs and tandoori chicken, the new Muslim asked while still chomping on a drumstick, “So, Muhammed, when exactly did he die?” Pin drop silence. A ‘well meaning’ cousin spoke after a full 30 seconds of numbing hush, “He is RassoolAllah salAllah wa alehi wasaalam and his blessed soul departed from this world in 632 A.D. ALWAYS make sure you respect Allah sws, Islam and its blessed RassoolAllah salAllah wa alehi wasaalam. You were disrespectful.” The newbie gave a desperate look that said, “Dear God, what have I done!”

Welcome to Islam, you dim bulb!

Convert: "I think I am having second thoughts. Can I leave Islam now?"

Welcoming committee: "What did I just say?"
