Eight-year-old Mohammad entered his classroom on the first day of school. « Whats your name? » asked the teacher.... « Mohammad, » he replied. « Youre in Ireland now, » replied the teacher, « so from now on you will be known as Frank. » Mohammad returned home after school. « How was your day, Mohammad? » his mother asked. « My name is no longer Mohammad. Im in Ireland now and my name is Frank. » « What? » she said. « Are you ashamed of your name? Are you trying to dishonor your parents, your heritage, your religion? Shame on you! » And his mother beat him. Then she called his father, who beat him again. The next day when Mohammad returned to school the teacher saw all of his bruises. « What happened to you, Frank? » she asked. « Well shortly after becoming Irish I was attacked by two #$%$ Arabs. »`
