August 6, 2007 -- Activists with ties to the principal of the city's controversial new Arabic-themed school are hawking T- shirts that glorify Palestinian terror, The Post has learned.

The Palistinians should glorify something else they’re good at like...like...never mind.

I am obviously not good at posting to FR.

[Vision]

This is just shocking. I never would have expected this.

Damn fools.

[VeniVidiVici]

And this surprises NY Liberals how?

[milford421]

I know that a group, “Stop the Madrassa” has been formed by the opposition. The NY Sun is keeping readers abreast of developments on this.

[BronzePencil]

But they said it was only an Arab language school and wouldn’t be political! I can’t believe the muslims lied! waaaaaah!

[GFritsch]

A Department of Education spokeswoman defended Almontaser, saying her link to the T-shirt was tenuous.

In the pre-PC America, when things generally made sense, Almontaser would be tenuous. In other words 'out on her ass!'

[sauropod]

The inflammatory tees boldly declare "Intifada NYC" - apparently a call for a Gaza-style uprising in the Big Apple.

Reason enough to deep six this.

[Gil4]

That’s OK - it was funny both times

[wastedyears]

Maybe I should go into Brooklyn more often. I guess now it won’t be just to see friends.

[Bon mots]

Starting to sound like Paris!

[JimRed]

Oh, great! Now each of our sons are working in a primary target area; the carpenter in Manhattan and the architect in Washington, D.C.

There is enough evidence to charge them with a hate crime.

[KosmicKitty]

"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."

Ummm... Yeah, right!

Do they shake off the suicide belts too?

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

What? You mean you really thought that this was a school for teaching the Arabic language? Ho ho ho. That was never the intention. The intention was to create a place where like-thinking people could increase their hate for the country that greeted them with open arms and is giving them everything that they whine about.

[Red_Devil 232]

"... the carpenter in Manhattan and the architect in Washington, D.C."

They should get together and build something. LOL

[CaptRon]

"The word [intifada] basically means 'shaking off.' That is the root word if you look it up in Arabic," she said.

And the odds that her impressinable young students will take that as its meaning are...?

[Rummyfan]

No worries!

[firebrand]

The groups that were fighting this school used the wrong tactics: The first school claimed their kids were too young to mix with older kids. The second school, where it is scheduled to open now, said they didn't have enough room--a problem that was solved with ease.

When are we going to develop the backbone to oppose this school for the right reasons, and for that matter, to oppose everything we should oppose without fear?

We need to nurture our own self-esteem as Americans, and not let the PC, America-hating poison seep through our skin. So we all came from different places. So what? If there ever was a time to stand together with courage it is now.

[juliej]

This school must be stopped - period. Gibran? That fifth rate poet? Are they serious?

[juliej]

Kill thousands of Christians and Jews, blow up greenhouses, desecrate synagogues and get treated like gold!

[juliej]

Do they “shake off” their burkas or shmatas? What is the penalty for wearing nail polish?

[juliej]

What a sick decadent culture! The woman in the photo was being buried except for her head to be stoned to death by the Persian Islamonazis. They are dangerous - be afraid - very afraid.

[Clemenza]

Walk along 5th Avenue in Bay Ridge, especially from 65th to 75th Streets. You would think you were in East Jerusalem with the signs in Arabic, women in chadors, and men smoking shisha pipes and reading the Koran.

[juliej]

When the Jews left Gaza they handed over wonderful greenhouses to the Moslems and what did they do? Destroy them! They destroy everything. That is their culture.

[juliej]

I am sure that they have not yet hit rock bottom! The t shirt (Intifada NYC) is the tipoff. They can try to spin it all they want but we know what it really means.

[Yehuda]

[juliej]

But they’re “oppressed” - don’t you see? LOL!

[juliej]

But world does not care about the “Jewish refugee crisis” that was created when Egypt, Iraq, Syria and other Moslem countries began expelling and persecuting its Jewish citizens who had lived there for hundreds - no, make that thousands - of years. Israel took them in. Yet Arabs prefer to keep the “Palestinians” as refugees, not that they are innocents: they helped destroy Lebanon. the world has forgotten that one.

[milford421]

Have you read the Executive Summary report on this school?

All need to. Page 8 states that the ITS, (partner of the school - ITS stands for Columbia University’s Teacher’s College Dept. of Int’l and Transcultural Studies), will sponsor teacher professional development workshops in, among other things, ISLAM!!!!

[Sir_Ed]

I can attest to that. I’m visiting Bay Ridge for a few weeks, and we went to Leif Eriksen to look at the tornado damage...here were so many women in chadors I thought I was in Pakistan.
