There’s a joke they tell in Mexico. An angel is visiting God and sees he has three buckets of frogs, labeled Japanese, American, and Mexican. The first two have lids on them, the Mexican bucket does not. The angel inquires as to why this is. “I have to put a lid on the Japanese bucket,” God explains, “because they’re very clever and figure out ways of escaping. The American bucket has a lid because they figure out how to work together to escape.” The angel wonders why no lid on the Mexican bucket. “Because if one tries to escape, the others pull him back in.”
It now seems that’s even more true of Islamic culture. Read about a man who tried to act a little modern, and got pulled back into the bucket. Well, what do you expect from the Roach Motel of religions?
