A Muslim dies and finds himself before the Pearly Gates.
He is very excited, as all his life he has longed to meet the Prophet Mohamed.
Having arrived at the ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■, he meets a man with a beard.
‘Are you Mohamed?’ he asks.
'No, my son. I am Peter. Mohamed is higher up.
And he points to a ladder that rises into the clouds.
Delighted that Mohamed should be higher than Peter.
he climbs the ladder in great strides,
climbs through the clouds coming to a room
where he meets another bearded man.
He asks again, 'Are you Moham ed?
'No, I am Moses. Mohamed is higher still.
Exhausted, but with a heart full of joy.
he continues to climb the ladder and, yet again,
he discovers an even larger room
where he meets another man with a beard.
Full of hope, he asks again, 'Are you Mohamed?
'No, I am Jesus…You will find Mohamed higher up.
Mohamed higher than Jesus!
The poor man can hardly contain his delight and climbs and climbs,
ever higher. Once again, he reaches a larger room
where he meets a man with a beard and repeats his question:
‘Are you Mohamed?’ he gasps,
as he is, by now, totally out of breath from all his climbing.
'No, my son…I am God. But you look exhausted.
Would you like a coffee?’
‘Yes, please, my Lord’
God looks behind him, claps his hands and calls out:
‘Hey, Mohamed, two coffees!’
Keep your trust in God;
The government has failed you miserably!
