A-rabic on T-shirts..tres kewl
Most Ar-ab countries aren’t exactly known as hotbeds of rock ‘n’ roll fervor, so, sadly, few Western bands have actually played the Middle East. But wouldn’t a concert tee look cool if they had?
That’s the idea behind 26-year-old graphic artist Brendan Donnelly’s newly unveiled collection of shirts, which sport the logos of bands like Joy Division, the Velvet Underground, and the Ramones (left), all translated into Ar-abic.
The concert tee gets an Ar-abic tweak
Obviously intended for audiences with a well-developed sense of irony, the tees subvert the familiar in a way that somehow manages to make fun of both repressive regimes and Western-style consumerism.
Hmmmmmmm.
So the tees “manage to make fun of both repressive regimes and Western-style consumerism.”…As if they are remotely equivalent eh.
Why dontcha try some of these originals on for size eh.
Heck yea, I’d luv to have the A-rabic language strewn across my chest. No matter that all Muzlim societies..ranging from good ole Pakistan, Somalia, Afghanistan, Iran, Sau-di A-rabia, Iraq, Algeria, and now even Gaza remain the most repressed, brutal, impoverished and benighted cultures on earth.
Heck, let’s display their letters on our free American chests shall we.
Suffice it to say, the bands would be banned in Muzlim countries and have their long haired pony tailed heads lobbed off if they didn’t convert to Izzlam pronto. Irony. Uh huh. 
So sure..wear your funky new t shirt on Madison Ave., but one word of advice: If your’e an “infidel”..(Christian, Jew, or anythin else NON Muzlim)..don’t sport one on your next trip to Saudi A-rabia eh.
Hollywood and the Fashion Industry:
Like seeing eye dogs that are trained to lead culturally blind people into the societal gas chamber.
Hey, fashionistas: Try wearin a t-shirt condemning Sh-aria’s killing of Christians and Jews, honor killings, wife abuse, rape, torture, forced conversions, or female genital mutilation…see how long it stays on yer back k.
A-rabic t shirts.
Because nothing says fashion like using the language of the very terrorists who attacked us.
You absolutely have to have A-rabic on your chest?
O.K.
Wear this one.
The above phrase in Ar-abic is “lan astaslem.” It means “I will not surrender / I will not submit.”
Commemorate the sixth anniversary of the ji-hadi attacks on America
Better yet..wear this one:
Betcha Madonna and Demi already are.

Wear one into your bank. See what happens.

“Hollywood and the Fashion Industry:

October 10th, 2007 at 9:04 am
Might give these a miss Angel, try these for size … See:

Now there’s a T-shirt!
Appreciate your visits to mine!

I like the “I Will Not Submit” t-shirt. There’s a double standard in everything.
October 10th, 2007 at 9:32 am
You won’t catch me wearing any of those.
October 10th, 2007 at 10:00 am
Angel, have you seen that Whoopi finally said something that makes sense.

Here’s my proposal for a worthy messaged T-shirt in Arabic:
“Every terrorist mission should be a suicide mission… with our help.”
Thank you Col. Ralph Peters!

My favorite T shirt says “Does not play well with others” on the back and has a picture of a bull.
October 10th, 2007 at 1:00 pm
On the serious humorous side back in the day I never understand Japanese and Chinese characters on tees. So I’m not getting this. The “we will not submit” tee is cool and wearable by many.Can you ship to Saudi Arabia ? You can’t ship a Bible there so I’m wondering on the shirt. Truth being Truth and all that. Take Care
October 10th, 2007 at 1:41 pm
Never was into T-shirts anyways!
Hope all is well hun!

I am utterly appalled to see Joy Division’s “Unknown Pleasures” in Arabic. I don’t mean to sound like a self-righteous bastard or anything, but I have reached the point where fighting fire with fire is the only thing I feel like doing. Since the Arab world is so sensitive about anything of theirs appearing on anything that they don’t put their little stamp of approval on, I take a similar stance against anything Western being flaunted in Arabic. It’s a disgrace.
October 10th, 2007 at 4:24 pm
I don’t see why we contuine to pander to Islamists.
October 10th, 2007 at 4:58 pm
Can I get one with “Long Live Israel” on it in Arabic?
Don’t know how long it will last in Saudi Arabia.
October 10th, 2007 at 5:16 pm
“Because nothing says fashion like using the language of the very terrorists who attacked us.”
Excellent point, Angel!
October 10th, 2007 at 7:13 pm
The Muslims will probably protest those tees!They have a problem with everything!
Good post Angel.
October 10th, 2007 at 7:58 pm
They may as well put a bullseye of the reverse side of their Arabic ‘T;’ and a red dotted ‘cut here’ line around their neck! I guess it just goes to show you that: stupid is as stupid does… or something like that.
October 10th, 2007 at 8:20 pm
I have few Patriotic tees, one with an Ann Coulter quote right after 9/11 and the other says celebrate diverisity with pictures of a bunch of handguns, both always draw comments, grin.
October 10th, 2007 at 9:09 pm
Tshirts are one thing, but look at what they’re doing to the Empire State Building.
October 10th, 2007 at 10:22 pm
mine would state emphatically:
“MMM, BACON - MY FAVORITE VEGETABLE!”
in honor of our son who would eat it all day long if there were enough
pigs in the world!
