The Iranian Ambassador to the UN had just finished giving a speech and walked out into the lobby of the convention center where he was introduced to a U.S. Marine General.
As they talked the Iranian said, "I have just one question about what I have seen in America."
The General said, "Well, anything I can do to help."
The Iranian whispered, "My son watches this show called Star Trek and in it there is Kirk who is Canadian, Chekhov who is Russian, Scotty who is Scottish, Uhura who is black and Sulu who is Japanese but there are NO Muslims. My son is very upset and doesn't understand why there aren't any Iranians, Iraqis, Afghans, Egyptians, Palestinians, Saudis, Syrians or Pakistanis on Star Trek."
The General laughed, leaned toward the Iranian Ambassador and whispered in his ear, "That's because it takes place in the future."

Re: Star Trek question
I think the current king of Jordan is a Star Trek fan, and got himself a cameo on 'Voyager'.
