The Symbol of Islam

图片取自 sunshine anyday

My mother sat in front of my father and raised his head up. "What is wrong?"

"They whipped me," my father said.

"Why?" my mother asked in amazement.

"Because I have shaved my beard. They called me an infidel and a Communist," my father said, incredulously. "They said that the beard is the symbol of Islam."

"Islam is about what is in your heart, not what is on your face," my mother stated.

"I told them if the beard is a symbol of Islam, a goat must be a Muslim since it is born with one," my father said, looking slightly dazed as he spoke. "Then they whipped me."
