Image“Not my Islam” shirt

May 5th, 2008Esra'a (Bahrain)

More than a year ago, Lalith and I created a “Not My Islam” shirt. I got it for my family and friends. Recently my sister took some great photos of her wearing it (and yes I made her do it). I thought I’d plug them in here to inspire and encourage others to get it [...]

June 20th, 2007Ray Hanania (Palestine/USA)

I posted a new video on the experiences of buying in the Souq of the Old City of Jerusalem on my video production web site at www.ArabAmericanTVOnline.com … it follows the experience of friends, Aaron Freeman (who is a performer in the Israeli-Palestinian Comedy Tour) and his wife Sharon Rosenzweig as they negotiated a purchase [...]

Some bomb Iran. Others shroom Iran.

January 28th, 2007Esra'a (Bahrain)

We’re doing this to mock the Casual Conservative “I bomb Iran” shirts. If you mess with Iran, we mess with your shirts! Actually, this was inspired by a discussion here where Arash and I figured that we may as well turn the mushroom cloud into an eatable mushroom.

And this is a new video I made, about the media and how we tend to use it to dehumanize people, rather than just to inform. Selective coverage [...]

Here’s a great and funny shirt by a recent participant of Mideast Youth.

Controversy!

November 20th, 2006Esra'a (Bahrain)

Jordan, a loyal reader, gave us an idea for yet another shirt. This shirt is a direct attack on the media and how unbalanced it is. It’s sure to make you think – and if it offends you, then you do not get the right message.

For the laaaadies:

Make a powerful statement and look very hot [...]

Inter-Iman is now up and running

November 17th, 2006Esra'a (Bahrain)

Why? Because we rock.
Inter-Iman is the Arabic version of ME Faith. Iman means “faith” in Arabic, so it’s a cool mixture. Get it? Inter-faith, Inter-Iman. Excellent. Our first article is by Kamal, a Syrian-Kurd. Cynthia from Egypt will be our editor and will report on the Baha’i faith in Egypt. I will be working on [...]
