On time I was hangin' out in Tehran, Iran, sharing the rent of a little room with a Persian guy, named, Naseem. He told me a story once, which he said would explain to me the Moslem mentality: A Jew, a Christian, and a Moslem were traveling across the desert and had finally come to where they were totally out of food and just about out of energy. They were only about a one day journey to the next town, tho. Miraculously, just before sundown, a bird flew overhead and dropped a dried piece of meat! They agreed that what they would do (Because it was so late in the day), would be to wait 'til morning to eat the meat. But because it was only large enough for a one-person meal, they agreed upon a plan; whoever had the most far-out dream in the night would eat the meat, go to the next town, and return for the others (Yeah, right!). So they wrapped up the morsel, went to sleep, and in the morning they arose, most excited. First the Jew spoke, " I was at the sixth level of Heaven! Nothing was lacking. I was eating fruits I hadn't even seen before!" The Christian butted in, " Man, I was at the seventh level of Heaven! I didn't even know what hunger was! All I was doing was feeding others!" They looked at the smiling Moslem and asked about his dream. He said, "In the night Mohamed came to me and woke me up, and said,'Get up, fool, and eat the meat'"
