Wearing a t-shirt with foreign language = terrorist?

Can you  believe the ignorant people in America? People in other countries learn 2,3 or even more languages, but because we are so focused only on America, most Americans only know English.

How can people compare someone wearing a t-shirt saying 'we will not be silent' to a bank robber saying they are a bank robber? 

The shirt didn't say "Terrorist" or "Airplane Bomber"!

Seems now an easy way to make money, though. Get a t-shirt printed with some arabic script for about $20. Book a flight from a major airport. Wear said shirt and hope to be asked to cover it up. Even better, get a long fake beard for about $50 to improve your chance of being asked to cover the t-shirt up!   Call up the ACLU and have them represent you in Court....Ca-ching!!!

240,000 dollars awarded to man forced to cover Arab T-shirt

NEW YORK (AFP) – An airline passenger forced to cover his T-shirt because it displayed Arabic script has been awarded 240,000 dollars in compensation, campaigners said Monday.

Jarrar, a US resident, was apprehended as he waited to board a JetBlue flight from New York to Oakland, California, and told to remove his shirt, which had written on it in Arabic: "We will not be silent."

He was told other passengers felt uncomfortable because an Arabic-inscribed T-shirt in an airport was like "wearing a T-shirt at a bank stating, I am a robber,'" the ACLU said.

Jarrar eventually agreed to cover his shirt with another provided by JetBlue. He was allowed aboard but his seat was changed from the front to the back of the aircraft.
