Bag On Berlin Metro: ‘This Text Has No Other Purpose Than To Terrify Those Who’re Afraid Of The Arabic Language’
Just recently, journalist Nader Al-Sarras was riding the metro in Berlin, when he spotted this bag designed by Rock Paper Scissors. It reads: “This text has no other purpose than to terrify those who are afraid of the Arabic language”. Genius, huh? Nader thought so too, so he took a picture and posted it to Facebook. It has gone viral since, with over 35k likes and 15k shares.

Share on FacebookConsindering what gernany has been though recently, I find this inappropriated. But thats just me.
Considering what Germany did in the past, I find German inappropriate anywhere - but that's just me being facetious because what you said is incredibly ignorant.

I think it should be reciprocate. Anyway, I was not suggesting to change cultures and adapt entirely to the refugees. Neither was I suggesting an "Arabification" of Germaany. I was simply suggesting using education as means of fighting back and knowing whom to fight amd whom you're fighting. Just this.
Load More Replies...The whole point of the bag is that being afraid of language is just dumb. Being afraid of people because of their religion is even dumber. Rather be afraid of the crazy people - they are the terrorists and and their language and/or belief is actually of no consequence, just something they hide behind to validate their own pathetic view of what they think the world should be like.
Load More Replies...If they've accepted them... why would they be afraid of their language? Can't be both.
Load More Replies...Why would people need to be afraid about a arabic text? Are you afraid of chinese characters tatoo?...This is called irony, if you don't catch the joke I believe all hopes are lost...
so...... how exactly does this help the current situation? it it no way educates or improves. For those that don't read Arabic (which are most people)~ it's USELESS. Wouldn't it be better/ more entertaining if there was a "transalation" after the Arabic text?
Scan with an app and translate... The point is to "be afraid", until you find out what it means and then hopefully you will realise how stupid your fear was in the first place...
Load More Replies...Haha I find this sarcastic and hilarious. English-speaking people make massmurders too you know but nobody is afraid of english writing.. So you should stop being afraid of arabic because that doesn't equal terrorist. And the bag is a great reminder about it.
no it's not it's just being provocative in order to sell bags to SJW's. The left is being exploited by capitalists that want to make a quick buck out of their principles, remember all of those Che Guevara T-shirts?

How is it islamophobia when you fear the actual terrorism? Islamophobia needs to stop? How about terrorism needs to stop? If in your neighborhood 90% of crimes (assault, rape, murder, etc) is done by dudes that wear hoodies, isn't it obvious that people will pretty much fear and avoid dudes with hoods? Another example. If a town of 100k people with no religion (or other than christian to take your example) had only small non-violent crimes in the last 10+ years accepts 1000 people that are christian (accepts them without any fear and out of compassion) and then the crime rate exceeds any records (with brutal stabbings, murder, explosions and rape against the locals) don't you think it's kinda normal to start fearing and avoiding them? That right there is not islamophobia, it's simply fear of dying and spirit of conservation.
