We Will Not Be Silent; an update to the continuing WOT*

JFK passenger told he couldn't fly wearing Arabic script T-shirt

An Arab human rights activist says he was prevented from boarding a plane at Kennedy International Airport while wearing a T-shirt that said "We will not be silent" in English and Arabic.
[...]
One of the officials told him, "Going to an airport with a T-shirt in Arabic script is like going to a bank and wearing a T-shirt that says 'I'm a robber.'" he said.
Whaaa!? The slogan "We will not be silent" was originally used by the German anti-war movement ... against Hitler. How ironic, (yeah, just ironic, I've run out of adjectives to describe the constant rape of irony that constitutes Bushco), that suppressing that message is alive and well in America.

We should all wear that slogan on our chests and in our hearts, translated into Hebrew, Arabic, Hindi, Farsi, Spanish ... and especially Texan.
