A devout Arab Muslim got into a cab in London. He curtly asked the ‘cab driver’ to turn off the radio because his religious doctrine forbade him listening to music.

The Cab driver politely asked why. His passenger replied that in the time of the Holy Prophet there was no music, especially Western music, which is the music of the infidel.

The cab driver politely switched off the radio, stopped the cab and opened the door for his passenger to disembark.

 The Arab Muslim was surprised and asked him: “What are you doing???”

 The Cab driver answered: “In the time of the Holy Prophet, there were no taxis, no bombs, no plane hijacks, no west invented loud speakers in mosques that woke up newly born, the elderly and the sick at unearthly hours, no suicide attacks, no RDX, no AK 47; only ‘PEACE’ everywhere. So shut up, get down and wait for a camel!”
