David and Solom? Or Tom and Jerry?

At my talk tonight, I was comparing the small, but growing, progressive and inclusive Muslim communities vs the "mainstream." I said "It's like Goliath and Solomon." Then I was like, "Wait, it's Solomon, right? Some students responded, "David," and I said, "oh, right!"

Then I looked at the Muslim students sitting together in the audience and said,  "we have David in the Quran, right? We have David, but no Goliath, right? 

Confused and perplexed, I continued, "well, maybe it's like Tom and Jerry, but Jerry always wins." The audience burst out laughing!! :-)
