Gateway students allowed to wear Arab scarves
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette ^ | 2/18/2009 | By Eleanor Chute

Gateway High School today permitted two Muslim students to wear scarves known as kaffiyehs in school a day after they were told they couldn't go to class if they didn't remove the scarves.

Ms. Zanella said that concerns had been heightened when three students recently wore T-shirts saying "RIP Israel."

Why don´t the just cut to the chase and ban Jewish students to be sure they don´t offend these two students?

This has been posted many times on FR, but it cannot be posted enough:

The Muslim Takeover of the West; How it Works:

(Adapted from Dr. Peter Hammond’s book: Slavery, Terrorism and Islam: The Historical Roots and Contemporary Threat.)

For anyone who may still have lingering doubts about the real danger of the Muslim onslaught of the West, this may be the most revealing analysis of the threat of the Islamic Jihad that you will ever read. The reasoning is impeccable and the conclusions reached are both obvious and startling.

Islam is not a religion nor is it a cult. It is a complete system. Islam has religious, legal, political, economic and military components. The religious component is a beard for all the other components. Islamization occurs when there are sufficient Muslims in a country to agitate for their so-called ‘religious rights.’

When politically correct and culturally diverse societies agree to ‘the reasonable’ Muslim demands for their ‘religious rights,’ they also get the other components under the table. Here’s how it works — percentages source CIA: The World Fact Book (2007).

As long as the Muslim population remains around 1% of any given country they will be regarded as a peace-loving minority and not as a threat to anyone. In fact, they may be featured in articles and films, stereotyped for their colorful uniqueness:

United States — Muslim 1.0%
Australia — Muslim 1.5%
Canada — Muslim 1.9%
China — Muslim 1%-2%
Italy — Muslim 1.5%
Norway — Muslim 1.8%

At 2% and 3% they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs:

Denmark — Muslim 2%
Germany — Muslim 3.7%
United Kingdom — Muslim 2.7%
Spain — Muslim 4%
Thailand — Muslim 4.6%

From 5% on they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population. They will push for the introduction of halal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims. They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature it on their shelves — along wi th threats for failure to comply. (United States).

France — Muslim 8%
Philippines — Muslim 5%
Sweden — Muslim 5% Switzerland — Muslim 4.3%
The Netherlands — Muslim 5.5%
Trinidad & Tobago — Muslim 5.8%

At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves under Sharia, the Islamic Law. The ultimate goal of Islam is not to convert the world but to establish Sharia law over the entire world.

When Muslims reach 10% of the population, they will increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions (Paris — car-burnings). Any non-Muslim action that offends Islam will result in uprisings and threats (Amsterdam — Mohammed cartoons).

Guyana — Muslim 10%
India — Muslim 13.4%
Israel — Muslim 16%
Kenya — Muslim 10%
Russia — Muslim 10-15%

After reaching 20% expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings and church and synagogue burning:

Ethiopia — Muslim 32.8%

At 40% you will find widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks and ongoing militia warfare:

Bosnia — Muslim 40%
Chad — Muslim 53.1%
Lebanon — Muslim 59.7%

From 60% you may expect unfettered persecution of non-believers and other religions, sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia Law as a weapon and Jizya, the tax placed on infidels:

Albania — Muslim 70%
Malaysia — Muslim 60.4%
Qatar — Muslim 77.5%
Sudan — Muslim 70%
Bangladesh — Muslim 83%
Egypt — Muslim 90%
Gaza — Muslim 98.7%
Indonesia — Muslim 86.1%
Iran — Muslim 98%
Iraq — Muslim 97%
Jordan — Muslim 92%
Morocco — Muslim 98.7%
Pakistan — Muslim 97%
Palestine — Muslim 99%
Syria — Muslim 90%
Tajikistan — Muslim 90%
Turkey — Muslim 99.8%
United Arab Emirates — Muslim 96%

100% will usher in the peace of ‘Dar-es-Salaam’ — the Islamic House of Peace — there’s supposed to be peace because everybody is a Muslim:

I attended this high school about 20 years ago. We did not have such problems then — because we did not have many Muslim students, and the Muslims who did attend did not wear “Israel RIP” shirts.

Btw I am an Indian Hindu (sort of, really an atheist).

Just counteract this move by wearing blue and white scarves with little stars on them. Tit for tat.

Time to show the hypocrisy and fear of Muslims, break out the Skull caps and crosses.

Wanna bet this school has dress codes for others? I wonder if they ban gang insignia or clothing, because that’s what the Kaffiyeh is when worn indoors in the US.

Let’s be clear here because this article isn’t. This punk feels free to hate on Israel while insisting he be allowed to wear gang colors.

“Mohammad says he did wear a t-shirt recently that said “RIP Israel” and understands now that it was inappropriate. But the scarves, he says are different.

“It’s cultural, it’s not political you know - it’s our right to wear it,” he said. “

Once again muslim scum and Western Culture conflict, and western culture backs down. The scum use our own rules and tolerance against us. The problem is that our rules were meant to apply to civilized people of good will, not barbarian throw-backs who seek to destroy us.

I always say we Americans shouldn’t rag on Euros so hard for letting in a flood of Muslims and capitulating to Islam, because the US is doing the same thing, just more slowly. If Mexico were a Muslim country, we’d be giving in to dhimmitude even faster, since we take in more immigrants per unit population; indeed even the GOP is full of open borders types. It is merely that we don’t share a border with a Muslim country or have one just across a strait.

I would say there is more historical hatred and violence associated with the terrorist scarves then the Confederate Stars and Bars which the liberals have demonized. It would be interesting if the Stars and Bars would be permitted.
