The American Tourist (muslim)

[Djamila]

An American tourist decides to visit Bosnia and Herzegovina, flying first to Zagreb, Croatia, because the air fare is cheaper and then renting a car to drive the rest of the way to Sarajevo.

After crossing the Croatian border into Bosnia and Herzegovina, he passes through a small, beautiful Muslim town and decides to get out of his car to take some pictures. He has a coffee and a brief conversation with some of the locals at the cafe, and then gets back in his car and continues on his way.

A few kilometers outside of the village, a man suddenly appears in the middle of the street with an AK 47. The American is terrified, stops his car, and sits behind the wheel with his hands up in the air. The Muslim man walks over to his car and tells him to get out. The American is, of course, absolutely terrified - he remembers the beheadings in the Middle East, all sorts of horrible things of that nature.

He gets out of his car and the man orders him to remove his pants. The American fears even worse things... and removes his pants. The man tells him to... you know what... (to himself, not to the Muslim man). The American tries, but obviously the situation is a little stressful. The Muslim man presses the gun against the American's temple and says, "DO IT!"

So the American struggles, and finally does it. The Muslim man screams, "AGAIN". The American does. Then once more, "AGAIN". The American does... when the Muslim man orders "AGAIN!", the American starts crying and says: "I can't... I just can't. Go ahead and shoot me... I don't care."

The Muslim man asks, "You can't?" The American responds that he really can't.

The man leans over his shoulder and says, "WOMAN! GET OUT HERE!" Then turns back to the American and says, "You will give my daughter a ride to Sarajevo!"
