Recognizing the Armenian Genocide.... "Present" - Sack cartoon

13. I don't trust religious people like her.

I'm apparently in the minority in this country, which has consistently placed atheists/agnostics as the least favorable people to serve as President in polls.

I worked with a Muslim woman from Turkey who supposedly hated religious intolerance, but I later learned it was only intolerance to HER religion that was unacceptable.

I was home-brewing beer back then, making several kinds of English ales at the time because they were so easy to make without flaws. I wore a shirt to work one day which stated "The Blood of Anglo-Saxons flows through my veins. And sometimes... their beer." Also on the shirt was Saint George's Cross, an old flag of the English.

She complained to the managers that my shirt offended her because it was a "flag of the Crusades."

The (Republican) managers shared her complaint with me, laughing about it. They encouraged me to continue wearing the shirt in the future.

I didn't wear the shirt to work anymore, but I also never spoke to that Muslim woman ever again.

The Crusades from about 1000 years ago?! Seriously?!
