Part 1

The people of the city of Alexandria, Egypt had fallen out of favor with the Caliph of Baghdad.  They had failed to properly submit their taxes (1/5th of the city earnings) that was due to the Caliph of the Ummah.  The Caliph wanted punish the people of this city.  It had came to to appoint a new amir of the city, and as punishment, he chose one of the poorest men of the whole town, a man who's only job was to clean bathrooms and sewers. The Caliph was acting on the principal that if you give a man power who has never had anything in his life, then he is sure to abuse the power. So he gave the amirship to Bubbacar Rahman the poorest man from the minority tribe in the city.

However, the Caliph underestimated Bubbacar Rahman. He took great pride in his work of cleaning toilets, and he was a very simple and humble man.  He cared little for his newfound wealth and position as Amir of Alexandria. He kept little of the wealth for himself and he soon developed a reputation as the most pious and benevolent amir of all of Egypt!.........

continued....... Part 2....

Soon this pious Amir of Alexandria began to develop quite a reputation.  His people loved him and although he had risen in fame and status he still went and cleaned the restrooms everyday where he once worked.  One time an envoy from Iraq came to see him and he prepared for them a great feast and entertained them with stories of knowledge from the most notable shiekhs and travelling devines of the region.  He sent them away with many gifts as was his policy with any travelers to his region. 

When the envoy returned back to Iraq and told the Caliph of what they had been given, and of the favours Abu Bakr had distributed amongst the people.  The Caliph was red with anger, for he had only appointed him as a punishment for the people of Alexandria for being short on their taxes.  The Caliph demanded that Amir Bubbacar be removed from his position, have his eyes gouged out, and dropped in a remote desert to fend for himself!  The loyal servants of the Caliph of Bagdad went to Alexandria and carried out their orders, removing Abu Bakr from his position.

No... it's not that deep.  There weren't any threads I was interested in so I had to entertain myself... so here's a story, maybe 1 or 2 people will read it and derive some benefit.
