Kindly treat the below matter as joke....
As there is no intension to hurt any ones sentiments....

Three strangers at the Great Falls airport are awaiting their flights.
One is a Native American on his way to Helena for a statewide Indian Pow-Wow.

Another a ranch hand on his way to Billings Montana for a stock show.

The third passenger is a fundamentalist Arab student, newly arrived, and on his way to study engineering at Montana Tech.

To pass the time they strike up a conversation on recent events, and the discussion drifts to their diverse cultures.

Soon the westerners learn that the Arab is a devout radical Muslim, and believes his people are justified in their 'holy' war.

The conversation falls into an uneasy lull. The cowpoke leans back in his chair, crosses his boots on a magazine table and tips his big sweat-stained hat forward over his face.

The wind outside blows and blows and the old windsock flaps but no plane comes.

Finally, the Native American clears his throat and softly he speaks:" Once, my people were many, now we are few."

The radical Muslim raises an eyebrow and leans forward, "Once my people were few," he sneers, "and now we are many. Why do you suppose that is?"

The Cowboy shifts the toothpick to one side of his mouth and from the darkness beneath his Stetson Cowboy Hat says, "That's 'cause we ain't played Cowboys and Muslims yet boy."
 
They haven't played cowboys and muslims yet? What about the Iraq war? Or are they ignoring it because of the severe thrashing they are getting in return.
 
self depracating and funny.For those of you who didnt get it , Its different, cos both the muslim and the american are the butt of the joke at the same time :)
 
Yeah ... tis not that bad a joke as people here might think ... like fantasy where you have temporary suspension of disbelief ... you need to be cool and open minded with jokes to really appreciate them ...

It is a clever and sarcastic little joke ... which can be interpreted in so many different ways ... I like it :)

Do tell..i could only see one within the context, and it's borderline sure but i had a laugh.

Not expected from the cowboy who is supposed to be well an animal hand and not too bright but otherwise completely in character.
 
not to sound preachy or anything but jokes of dubious taste work well only if they are genuinely funny...

as for this one---Sarcastic, yes..funny, nopes
