   Gee, I wonder if wearing advocation for jihad in New York blatantly on a t-shirt will finally start to get people’s attention. Nothing like planning mass murder to shake people up. Do you think MSM will cover this story or are the reporters wearing the shirts?

   Oh, sure. And the word “Crusade” derives from the Latin “crux,” meaning “cross.” So if I were to print T shirts saying “Crusade to Mecca,” I’d be merely promoting tourism to Saudi Arabia. Right? Not my fault if the word suffers from association to events in the past. Right?

   “I think it’s pretty much an opportunity for girls to express that they are part of New York City society . . . and shaking off oppression.”

   Right - how about shaking off their burkas and medieval religious repression? For that matter, lose the t-shirts altogether and go topless, ala PETA.

   Having seen the “breasts not bombs” wackos, I would like veto power over any woman considering this.

   No offense, ladies, but those loons scared me.

   And, meanwhile, can anyone get a count of how many Islamic women and girls will be maimed or murdered in the name of “honor” today?

   Just curious - a t-shirt signifies “shaking off oppression”, but burquas signify…what, exactly?

   NEW YORK - Wake UP! It’s high time you remember that 3,000 of your fellow New Yorkers were murdered on your city streets. Are you going to do something about this metaphorical finger this madrassa is giving you and your city?

   Bloomberg for President?

   Somebody needs to sue the Madrassa and get their non-profit status revoked.

   The Superintendent of NYC Schools needs to be told how this kind of action is not just in poor taste, it is a conflict of interest.

   Debbie has to mind the p’s and q’s of her position as a tax-funded entity, including non-Muslim oversight of the school’s activities in the NYC school system.

   Someone is asleep at the wheel, especially if “Debbie” is doing such things without checking with her superior in the school system chain of command.

   I wonder if she knows Faisal Khan? How does the American Muslim Law Enforcement Association define “Intifada”?

    And this has got to be one of the things that totally drives me batsh#t over the ‘coexist’ crowd and their ’save the jihadi he wouldn’t be doing this if it wasn’t for the USA’ standpoint.

    You get people like Rosie O supporting the ROP. Yet, the ROP would kill her before allowing an opinionated lesbian to exist. Yet, she shouts down Israel and the USA to support the ROP.

    Of all people who should be fighting against the ROP and creeping Sharia you would think it would be liberal woman. As they would be stuffed in burquas and never heard from again. But they just don’t get it.

    They count so much on being able to tell a gullible west that the words don’t mean what we think they mean.
    jihad = inner struggle
    intifada = shaking off
    The Islamic radical propaganda machine is well oiled and operates on all cylinders. They have had a lot of success with intimidating most press and news agencies to get them to repeat their party line and they count on the publics’ willingness to accept their explanation since most are so ill informed of anything related to the Islamic world. We, in the west, really want to believe that they bring a message of peace but their actions sure do speak a different mission.
    Until I hear more of them condemming the killing of civillians rather then explaining to me what certain words mean I will continue to believe their actions and not their words.

    They don’t even know that their violent jihad is the lesser jihad.

    The greater is to convert through words, and debate.

    Because brute force is easy. Intelligent debate is hard.

    “The word [intifada] basically means ’shaking off.’ That is the root word if you look it up in Arabic,”

    She neglects to mention that the root “Shake off” refers to “Uprising” in that same definition and the word was created to mean Arab’s in Gaza to “Shake Off” or do an “Uprising” against Israel.

    http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/intifada

    Etymology: Arabic intifAda, literally, the act of shaking off
    : UPRISING, REBELLION; specifically : an armed uprising of Palestinians against Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip

    Should she even be in the education system if she does not even know the true meaning of this word?

    I wonder what the reaction would be if someone started putting out T-Shirts etc with the slogan “Pro-Life Intifada”?

    If “Debbie” had to face an organized group of taxpayers at a public meeting where they called for her censure and termination, would she argue that the word doesn’t mean the same thing as the villainous Arafat endowed it with in Gaza?

    And what oppression in NYC does Debbie refer to? Taxpayers giving their hard *earned* wages to an NYC bureaucracy that caved to “Palestinian” demands to have a Madrassa in the first place?

    This is rich. Has she been on Oprah yet?

    Exactly. EVERYTHING liberals hold dear - feminism, abortion, gay rights, free love, etc. - would be lost under shari’a law.

    It would be and they are in denial over this very simple, proven fact.

    Which is why my argument stands:

    Liberals tolerate Islam because they hope Islam will defeat Christianity.

    It is no news to anyone here that Christianity is continually under attack in this nation…yet we fight back through the courts, our faith, and things like blogs.

    So I truly and honestly believe the left despises Christianity so they’ve decided to tolerate Islam in the hopes the former will be defeated by the latter.

    It makes me sad and it makes me sick.

    I challenge ANYONE who thinks America is a raving Christian theocracy to spend a month in an Islamic nation - and this is specifically directed at women like Rosie O’Donnell and feminists who whine about abortion rights and equal pay.

    Spend a month living like gum on the bottom of someone’s shoe (simply because you’re a woman) and then talk to me about how horribly oppressive this supposed Christian theocracy is.

    Yesterday I saw a better example of “throwing off oppression” by Muslims

    A block of tables at “In-N-Out” burger occupied by one contingent that included 1 Muslim adult male, 4 Muslim women in head scarves, 3 teen girls, and 5 elementary aged kids - all of them eating cheeseburgers.

    They had just come from the nearby “Raider Image” store.

    Halal food for dinner maybe, but lunch was burger mania.

    Okay, let’s accept the “shaking off” definition for a moment. What is being shaken off? She said “oppression”. But what oppression is that? By the current government? The culture? What?

    No matter how I look at it, even using her word definitions, it still shakes out as being a synonym for “revolution.”

    Investigate “Debbie” and her ties to HAMAS. Where does the money come from that funds “Arab Women” Active in Media and Art?

    No, I am not advocating this, but I would not lose sleep if it happened.

    Until animals like this intifada supporting woman are on the receiving end of an intifada, they will continue to terrorize Americans.
