I took an illegal taxi last night, chauffeured by an Azerbaijani, and presumably a Muslim. At some point, a bus driver dangerously cut off my taxi, sending my driver into a rage. The taxi driver accelerated, made eye contact with the bus driver, and unloaded a creative but crass tirade involving his genitals and a dizzying combination of the bus driver's mother, wife, daughter, and their orifices.
Somewhat shocked, I looked at the driver and said "это не по-мусульмански," roughly translating to "this is not Islamic behavior." The driver paused to think for a moment and then looked at me with shame and embarrassment and said, "you are right, I shouldn't say anything about putting it in their mouths."
The rest is okay, I guess.

Love this story. It reminds me of this joke told to me by a Persian friend about Muslim weddings (the link is a Jewish version of the same):
