Culture Snafus can be the undoing of many a clueless Westerner.

"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus

I plan on naming my next dog "mohammed" if my wife will let me get away with it.

I doubt that I will win the argument since she is a first grade teacher in good standing.

I’m going to get a dog and name the mutt “Mohammed”. That’s how much respect I give islamics and their idiocy.

If you named the bear Jesus you’d have to watch out for the “radical right” Christians who would...pray for you!

“Death and doom lurk for the unwary in many neighborhoods of the global village”.....Sounds like a good reason to visit Grand Teton National Park or maybe Glacier Park in Montana and not give a rats ass about offending Rama-lama-Ding-Dong in his native country.

I'm waiting for the Muslim version of Miss Manners' Guide to Excruciatingly Correct Behavior, also known as "Kids Say the Darnedest Things -- and Then Get Beheaded".

an account of all the things you ought not to do when you go overseas could fill a book.

What I've never understood is that when we visit overseas, it is only polite for us to respect their customs.

When they visit us here, it is only polite for us .... to respect their customs.

What is wrong with this scenario? Why aren't they expected to respect our customs when they go overseas?

It’s the story of a very unfortunate colored man,
he got arrested down in old Hong Kong

He had twenty years privilege taken away from him
Cuz he kicked ol buddaha’s gong
