Donkeys and Elephants

Today I was at the playground with my daughter. I spotted a brother there with his children and we exchanged Salams and started talking. During the course of the conversation, he asked me: ”Do you know why the Republican party uses and elephant as their symbol?” I answered no. He enlightened me: ”Because they have always wanted to destroy the Ka’bah, and were inspired by the story in Surah Fil “Have you not seen how We dealt with the companions of the elephant…”

He then enlightened me on the reason the democrats took the donkey as their symbol: “Because most of them are Jews and Allah says in Surah al-Jumu’ah describing them: ”…like donkeys carrying loads of books…”

I had no comment :)
