Strange Conversations Aug 8th of Current Year

I wish this conversation would have lasted longer and for me to have been less guarded about exposing my less than Muslim believes with this man.



M gets on a train to go to Ginza Japan Fest in Chicago.

Sits across from a man staring at the window.

Stranger: Are you Arabian?

M: Yes. (rest of conversation is spoken strictly in Arabic)

Stranger: Where are you from? *other passengers start to stare*

M: Yemen (No I will NOT ask you where you're from to further this conversation I should have just told you I'm not Arabic)

Stranger: O will you please pray to Allah for me.

M: Why?

Stranger: I'm very ill.

M: May Allah cure you.

Stranger: Thank you, thank you love.

M: *puts headphones back on and looks at opposite direction*

Stranger: Where is Allah right now?

M: He's watching you and me and everyone else, from up above.

Stranger: O wow Allah is awesome. I've been a sinner, I wonder if Allah will ever forgive me.

M: Sure, no one is perfect.

Stranger proceeds to show me his upper gum which contains brown deposits in place of what used to be his teeth.

M: *smiles*

Stranger: Allah did this to me. I'd like to fuck his sister but he doesn't have one. Do you not sin because of Allah.

M: I do not sin because of morals I've acquired through my parents.

Stranger: Well Allah is an asshole for making me this sick, fuck him and his non existent sister. Goodbye. *man gets off on Belmont*
