If this is true, I would have loved to have been there!

I am led to believe,an incident occurred in a supermarket
Recently, when the following was witnessed:

A Muslim woman dressed in a Burkha (A black gown & face mask) was
Standing with her shopping in a queue at the checkout.

When it was her turn to be served, and as she reached the cashier,
She made a loud remark about the Australian Flag lapel pin, which the
Female  cashier was wearing on her blouse.

The cashier reached up and touched the pin and said, 'Yes, I always
Wear it proudly. My son serves abroad with the forces and I wear it for
Him.

The Muslim woman then asked the cashier when she was going to stop
Bombing and killing her countrymen explaining that she was Iraqi.

At that point, an elderly Gentleman standing in the queue stepped
Forward, and interrupted with a calm and gentle voice, and said to the
Iraqi woman:

'Excuse me, but hundreds of thousands of  Australian men and women,
Just like this ladies son have fought and sacrificed their lives so that
People just like YOU can stand here, in Australia, which is MY country and
Allow you to blatantly accuse an innocent check-out cashier of bombing YOUR
Countrymen.

'It is my belief that if you were allowed to be as outspoken as
That in Iraq, which you claim to be YOUR country, then we wouldn't need to be
Fighting there today'. .'However - now that you have learned how to speak
Out and criticise the Australian people who have afforded you the  protection 
Of MY country, I will gladly pay the cost of a ticket to help you pay your
Way back to Iraq '.

'When you get there, and if you manage to survive for being as
Outspoken as what you are here in Australia, then you should be able to   help
Straighten out the mess which YOUR Iraqi countrymen have got you into in
The  first place, which appears to be the reason that you have come to MY
Country  to avoid.'

Apparently the queue cheered and applauded.



It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.
It's  also nice to be AUSTRALIAN.
