One day at a school in Harrow, London, a teacher said to the class of 5-year-olds, "I'll give £20 to the child who can tell me who was the most famous man who ever lived."
An Irish boy put his hand up and said, "It was St Patrick !"
The teacher said, "Sorry Paddy, that's not correct."
Then a Scottish boy put his hand up and said, "It was St Andrew !"
The teacher replied, "I'm sorry, Hamish, that's not right either."
Finally, a Muslim boy raised his hand and said, "It was Jesus Christ !"
The teacher said, "That's absolutely right, Omar ! Come up here and I'll give you the £20."
As the teacher was giving Omar his money, she said, "You know Omar, since you're a Muslim, that means a follower of Islam, I was very surprised you said Jesus Christ !"
Omar replied, "Yes. In my heart I knew it was Muhammad, our prophet but business is business !"
