Well, Abdul, my ancestors slaughtered yours like pigs. Care to relive the Good Old Days?

Don't like the rules? Find a Muzzie school and go back to the 6th century!

So we should just let the students wear terror chic then?

How are these kids promoting ethnically/racially inappropriate behavior or violence?

Good point. How can the school claim that attacking Jews is inappropriate to the "Palestinian" race or ethnicity? It's the defining factor of their existence!

There is an old saying, when in Rome do as the Romans do and if you are in the United States do as we do or get out.

This is part of their heritage. Is it OK to wear this rig to school?

You are correct.

For Arabs, it is correct behavior to wear the kaffiyehs, a symbol of terrorism against Israelis.

Funny how the article doesn’t mention the what the “anti-Israel” statement was.
I guess if you wore a shirt which said “R.I.P. Israel” one day and a kaffiyeh another, you could make the leap (very small one for most of us), that these kids were “...promoting ethnically/racially inappropriate behavior or violence.”
Can you imagine a student wearing a “R.I.P. Islam” or “R.I.P. Muslims” t-shirt to school?
Think that would cause a stir?

happygrl, where can one join the BORG?

If some of my ancestry reaches back to the crusades and I wear a Templar cross to your school how will you react Ahmad? After all, that’s my heritage.
