Italy and the Sikhs

>>About a century or two ago, the Pope decided that all the Sikhs

>>

>>had to leave Italy. Naturally there was a big uproar from the

>>

>>Sikh community. So the Pope made a deal. He would have a

>>

>>religious debate with a member of the Sikh community. If the

>>

>>Sikh won, the Sikhs could stay. If the

>>

>>Pope won,

>>

>>the Sikhs would leave. The Sikhs realized that they had no

>>

>>choice.

>>

>>So they

>>

>>picked a middle-aged man named Harbinder Singh to represent

>>

>>them. Harbinder asked for one addition to the debate. To make

>>

>>it more interesting, neither side would be allowed to talk. The

>>

>>Pope agreed.

>>

>>The day of the great debate came. Harbinder Singh and the

>>

>>Pope

>>sat opposite each other for a full minute. Then the Pope raised

>>

>>his hand and showed three fingers. Harbinder looked back at him

>>

>>and raised one finger. The Pope waved his fingers in a circle

>>

>>around his head. Harbinder pointed to the

>>

>>ground where he sat. The Pope pulled out a wafer and a glass of

>>

>>wine.

>>

>>Harbinder pulled out an apple.

>>

>>The Pope stood up and said, "I give up. This man is too good.

>>

>>The Sikhs can stay."

>>

>>An hour later, the cardinals were all around the Pope asking

>>

>>him what had happened. The Pope said, "First I held up three

>>

>>fingers to represent the holy trinity. He responded by holding

>>

>>up one finger to remind me that there was still one God common

>>

>>to both our religions. Then I waved my finger around me to show

>>

>>him that God was all around us. He responded by pointing to the

>>

>>ground and showing that God was also right here with us. I

>>

>>pulled out the wine and wafer

>>

>>to

>>

>>show

>>

>>that God

>>

>>absolves us from our sins. He pulled out an apple to remind

>>

>>me

>>of original sin. He had an answer for everything. What could I

>>

>>do?"

>>

>>Meanwhile, the Sikh community had crowded around Harbinder

>>

>>Singh."What happened?" they asked "Well," said Harbinder,

>>

>>First he said to me that the Sikhs had three days to get out

>>

>>of here. I told him to get lost and not one of us was leaving.

>>

>>Then he told me that this whole city would be cleared of Sikhs.

>>

>>I let him know that we were staying right here."

>>

>>Yes, and then???" asked the crowd.

>>

>>I don't know", said Harbinder, "He took out his lunch, and I

>>took out mine!!!"
