A bloke walks into the library in Glasgow and says to the lady behind the counter, "Scuse me Hen, di ye hae ony books aboot suicide?"
She stops doing her cataloguing, looks at him over the top of her glasses and says, "If you borrow that, you’ll never bring it back – Now piss off!"

Mmm... I can see where TGW is coming from - it is somewhat insensitive, although I would stop short of branding it as "inflammatory and bigotted". TGW, I think you're overreacting a little, although there are some who would no doubt find the joke offensive.
In future, guys, can we please leave ethnic or religious issues out of the jokes thread? Cheers!

A slight overreaction, but I've removed it just to keep the peace.

The fact that it said "Shortly after 9/11 made it inflammatory.
The fact that it brands all Muslims as worthy of that sort of treatment makes it bigotted.
Set in any other way it would be funny. It's that sort of behaviour that makes people feel they are being persecuted for something they didn't do. That is how the whole problem is perpetuated.

As I said in the now deleted message in the other thread, most Irish jokes originate from Ireland, most Jewish jokes originate from the Jewish community, so ethnic and religious jokes are not bad per se but I think that was a little different. In fact I've got a couple of blinding Irish gags that I'll post in a bit!
I was in the US on 9/11 and I saw how innocent Muslim people were treated for weeks afterwards - that was not funny. I'm not Muslim, in fact all organised religion leaves me cold. I am just a normal white British bloke who likes to see all people treated fairly.
Cheers
