The Iranian Ambassador to the UN had just finished giving a speech

and walked out into the lobby of the convention center where he was

introduced to a U.S. Marine General. As they talked, the Iranian said,

"I have just one question about what I have seen in America."

The General said, "Well, anything I can do to help?"

The Iranian whispered, "My son watches this show called 'Star Trek'

and in it there is... Kirk who is Canadian, Chekhov who is Russian,

Scotty who is Scottish, Uhura who is black, and Sulu who is Japanese,

but there are NO Muslims. My son is very upset and doesn't understand

why there aren't any Iranians, Iraqis, Afghans, Egyptians, Palestinians,

Saudis, Syrians, or Pakistanis on 'Star Trek.'"

The General leaned toward the Iranian Ambassador, and whispered

in his ear, "That's because it takes place in the future...."
