The Atheist Teacher

girlA young woman teacher with obvious liberal tendencies explains to her class of small children that she is an atheist.

She asks her class if they’re atheists too.

Not really knowing what atheism is but wanting to be like their teacher, their hands explode into the air like fleshy fireworks.

There is, however, one exception. A beautiful girl named Zainab has not gone along with the crowd.

The teacher asks her why she has decided to be different. “Because I’m not an atheist.”

Then, asks the teacher, “What are you?” “I’m a Muslim.”

The teacher is a little perturbed now, her face slightly red. She asks Zainab why she is a Muslim. “Well, I was brought up knowing and loving God. My mom is a Muslim, and my dad is a Muslim, so I am a Muslim.”

The teacher is now angry. “That’s no reason,” she says loudly, “what if your mom was a moron,and your dad was a moron, – what would you be then?” She paused, and smiled.

“Then,” says Zainab, “I’d be an atheist.”

    Thank you, Yusuf Amjad, AND SARA, too.

    I agree that many stories you quote, after converting them to Muslim names, have been floating around in the West for years!

    But, so long as you do not break any copyright law, it is fun to read many such stories again, and again!

    Our admins should read some books, e. g. start with tales from Rumi.

    Very well crafted jokes, well done. I live in England so I recommended this site to my friends. As you can imagine, some of them are non muslims and athiests. Some of the jokes that you do post on this site don’t always appeal to them because there sometimes seems to be a religious bias. I just thought that I would share that with you. Other than that, well done and thank you for sharing this stories with us.

    To Abdalla,
    You can put any any name instead of Zainab. It does not change anything.

      Someone will swap teacher to muslim, student to atheist. That is why someone should be reasonable not disgresful.

    Again I don’t understand, why every American little beautiful story turn to Arabic with a Muslim character in it
    don’t we have our own stories to share with!

      I feel the same! And no need to disgrace anyone even atheist, on other place you may see doing the same to muslims. We are above this things, mutual respect to each other
