The Beer Summit


As we all know, President Obama had used an unfortunate word to describe the action of Sgt Crawley, on July 16, in arresting Professor Gates Jr. He realized his mistake and decided to make amends, by calling over the sergeant and the professor to his mansion, at the white house, and have a beer or two with them, to neutralize the situation. Vice President Joe Biden was invited. 

Taking the cue, the American media, gleefully, arose to the occasion, by terming the get together as the ‘beer summit’!

Having a casual beer together seems to be another approach by Obama, to solve a small domestic misgiving.


Well, and good. But suddenly, this thought came into my mind. What if the sergeant had been a Muslim? Can the Islamic overseers allow such acts of diplomacy? Clearly not. Not with alcohol-consuming being one of the no nos of Islam. The most they can do is to have a ‘mineral water summit’, but that is rather unattractive. The parties involved may refuse to turn up! A ‘grape juice summit’, perhaps? Or an apple juice? Or...no, I had better stop here! Well, folks, time to reminisce about the favourite drink of your country!


Just in case your beer-drinking historian asks you when was the Beer Summit held, the answer is Thursday, July 30, 2009!
