Irish Turmoil - 1970s joke

Kind of a 1970s joke but funny anyway…

An American goes visiting to Ireland. All of a sudden a man grabs him from behind and holds a knive around his neck; The man asks the American “Are you Catholic or Protestant?”

The American is in shock. He thinks to himself, ‘If I say I am Catholic he is bound to be protestant and he will rip my neck apart. If I say I am Protestent he is bound to be Catholic and I am in deep ****… what to do’

The American thought for a moment a replied, “I am Jew”.

The Man made a sneeky laugh and said, “I must be the luckiest Arab in Ireland”.

— hope you guys get it!
