To: Tell It Right

You forgot these;)

The great religion in Arab countries is, of course, Islam. But Islam is also divided into different sub groups. The largest group are the Sunnis, who form the majority in many Arab countries.
In addition to the Sunnis there are many smaller groups, such as the Shiites. Besides Sunnis and Shiites, there are Druze and Alawites as well as Sufis.

Druze make good food. At least at the restaurant I ate at when I was in Israel years ago.

The bottom line of most major religions is, “Don’t bother other people.”

And then there’s Islam................

Well, good Muslims are not supposed to drink alcohol.

So, in the Middle East, would a comedian start a joke with "A Sunni, a Shi'ite, and a Druze walked into a cafe..."?
