Cocaine and the Infidels

An excerpt from a conversation I had at the US hospital where I am training with a cardiologist who knew nothing about me but my name, Mohammad Ayman, as it appears on my lab coat:

M. A:  It's amazing how many cocaine-induced heart attacks we've seen lately

Dr. R:  You don't see much back home?

M. A:  No. Cocaine abuse is uncommon there.

Dr. R:  I bet it's because you behead everybody who uses it.

M. A:  Well we have capital punishment for dealers, but it's not beheading.

Dr. R:  Yeah you execute drug dealers, but export drugs to countires where infidels live, like the US.

M. A:  ...

Dr. R:  Am I right?

M. A:  No, you are absolutely wrong.

Dr. R:  Well this happens in Afghanistan.

M. A:  Well I am not from Afghanistan.

Dr. R:  But you are from a Muslim country, right?

M. A:  Yes and it's very different from Afghanistan.

Dr. R:  Where are you from?
