Two Christians crash an airplane in the middle east...

and landed in the desert. Miraculously, they both survived with minor injuries, so they sent off a signal flare and began rationing their emergency supplies. The food was eaten by the end of the first week, and the water lasted until the end of the second. But they continued weathering the hot days and cool nights, never for one second giving up hope. Almost three weeks passed, and they saw a caravan of jeeps over the horizon.

They turned to each other, waiving excitedly. But one of the christian men corrects himself and a worried look rushed over his face. "Oh crap", he said. "These guys are probably muslim!"

His friend rolled his eyes. "We're in the middle east, Jim. You're probably right. What's your point?"

And Jim, in a huff, replied "Well, I just think I should tell them I'm Muslim too. Because, well, you know how these people are. Don't you, Ben?"

But before any reply could be made, the convoy of jeeps arrived at the wreckage. An older man wearing a traditional thawb and dark sunglasses stepped out of one of the jeeps and inspected the men standing before the remnants of the plane.

"My friends", he said in a heavy accent. "We saw the flare and spent many nights searching the desert for you."

The two Christian men nodded nervously between each other, then back to the man in the thawb.

"We will take you back to our city and make sure you are taken care of. But all I ask is that you identify yourself, so that we may greet you as friends."

"My name is Mohammad", said Jim. "And I'm a Muslim."

And the man in the thawb nodded solemnly, adjusting his glasses away from the desert sun.

"And my name is Ben", said Ben. "And I'm Christian."

And the man in the thawb again nodded solemly. "Ben, my friend: you have been through so much hardship over these last three weeks. We shall take you back to our city, where we will give you all the food and water that you need!"

The man in the thawb then turned to Jim, again adjusting his sunglasses. "And Mohammad, my Muslim brother: welcome to Rammadan!"
