The atheist

Bismillah,

Assalamualaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu!

A 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 are atheists too. Not really knowing what atheism is but wanting to be like their teacher, their hands explode in to 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 decide to be different.

"Because I'm not an atheist." replies Zainab

"Then", asks the teacher, "What are you?" "I'm a Muslim", replies Zainab. The teacher is perturbed now, her face slightly red. She asks Zainab why she is a Muslim. "Well, I was brought up knowing and loving God (Allah). 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", Zainab said, "I'd be an atheist."
