To Be Left Alone -- Tell People You're Muslim

My Web/Twitter friend says this works for her...

I have come across two instances where being a Muslim has gotten people to leave me alone

#1 while walking I was approached by 2 Mormon youth on their 'mission' wanting to spread the word to me I told them I was a Muslim and it was as though I had rabies...they retreated fast and said not another word

#2 was when Jehovah's Witnesses came to the door to give me some talking to. I said we are Muslims. It was 2 girls. At that statement it was as though I had turned into the Devil himself, their mouths dropped open...no words...they backed away

@al_habieli That's both sad and hilarious at once. May I use that? And if I do, do you want attribution? It's too good not to share.
