Chris, on the other string you make rather strong (and, I believe, correct) declarations against the terrorists, yet here you seem to be expressing a fear of them inconsistent with your belligerence elsewhere. Is it not proper to stand up to them here as well as over-seas? After all, if you fear being singled out, be aware that by Googling your name one can find your anti-muslim statements quite easily. (Please don't take this as a vicious attack. It might have been such, had I not read your commendable comments on the other thread.)

I never get in a NYC Taxicab without mentioning that my family is Catholic, that my last name is Danish (Kjær - rhymes with Beer, like Guiness, DAB & Foster's, mate!) and that my mother's mother's mother was a Jew. (Baruch atah Adonai Eloheinu...) I let the driver know that my girlfriend has been posted in both Baghdad and Kabul - an infidel and a woman!

That's the whole point.

Of course, I am six foot & 250lbs and have been (unsuccessfully, may I say,) attacked by knifewielding muggers, and I do enjoy Beethoven, Wagner & heavy metal, so perhaps it's just reckless masochism...

P.S. Ever look at the names of certain members on this list as well as others? names with no Picture or Description? of people who never post? names that sound vaguely, shall we say, Middle-Eastern... Moohwaaah hah ha ha ha ha haaaaaaa.......

Isn't it the whole idea of radical Islam's evil that wearing a shirt like this can make you a target of life-threatening violence?

Or perhaps Navy or other deep colors, any help?

PS And do you know how to say "Daughter of a Dog?"

In fact, the arabic word is 'kafir', which has a wider range of meanings than simply 'infidel':

... an Arabic word meaning a person who hides, denies, or covers the truth. In cultural terms, it is a derogatory term [1] used to describe a non-Muslim, a Muslim of a differing sect, or an apostate from Islam. It is usually translated into English as "infidel" or "unbeliever" and can carry the equivalent weight as a racial epithet.

I don't know if anyone here remembers that hateful Islamist recruiting 'song' - the rap song set to the destruction of the WTC - but the rappers were accusing Bush, Blair, etc. as being "dirty kuffar*". The insult carries a lot of weight amongst Islamists.

* the plural form of kafir

I like the simplicity of the current design, with the Arabic symbol. Straightfoward, to the point, throws down the gauntlet. Infidel says it all.

How about a more artsy shirt... I'm no artist unfortunately, but I am imagining something that has "Infidel", "Apostate", "Heretic", "Blasphemer", "Unbeliever" in different fonts, different orientations, interspersed with pictures of historical figures or famous people that have been called these things.  Maybe Thomas Jefferson, Galileo, DaVinci...

Great idea but I wouldn,t wear one for the same reason the I don,t call myself evil and I try not to say OH MY GOD,or JESUS BLOODY CHRIST,I am trying to remove all fundementalist language from my vocab

It might be better if it said: INFIDEL

...and damn proud of it!

Adam,

Unfortunately the Golf Shirt offered by CafePress doesn't feature a pocket The only type of top they offer that does is a hooded sweatshirt, and somehow I don't have you pegged as the 'hoody' type.

I'd buy one if you could make one with a pocket for reading glasses and cell phone...

I gotta get me one of these...
