Some kid says the Pledge of Allegiance in Arabic, and out come the Crusaders

Arabic does NOT equal Muslim, dumbass. Not all Arabs are Muslims, nor are all Muslims Arab. :rolleyes:

You think partinent facts like these matter to the derpa derpa derpa doo crowd? :smiley:

Anyone who speaks Arabic is obviously an enemy of ours. Of course, Saudi Arabia is our ally. They speak Arabic. Egypt is our ally. They speak Arabic. Kuwait is our friend, they speak Arabic. The United Arab Emirates are close business partners with us, and they speak Arabic.

Jeez, what about those countries we’ve been having problems with?

And Iranians speak Persian. Afghanis speak Pashto and Dari. Pakistanis speak English and Urdu.

I thought she was saying “Let’s go ahead and pretend those prejudiced folks are right about Arabic being the ‘Muslim language’…”

I’m pretty sure BigT’s a dude, but…yeah, that’s what I got from his post, too.

First they’re speaking Muslamic then they’re bringing ray guns to school. Where does it end?

Haven’t American intelligence agencies been looking to hire Arabic speakers for years now? That has to be tough if only terrorists speak the language.

it seems he fears for the purity of the american mind, it is dangerous to know and be exposed to other languages…

although this question of the integration and language seems strange. did not the usa have german and many other non english schools for most of its history? maybe it is only dangerous to integration if it is then not the northern europeans.

Madame DeFarge: We are so poor, we do not even have a language! Just this stupid accent!
Fellow Revolutionist: She’s right, she’s right! We all talk like Maurice Chevalier!

What happens if an American-born Muslim says the pledge?

Not as far as I know, no.

M: but I have seen from the wikipedia and the other sources it was the case, and from the wikipedia link here is an academic notethat describes german language official public schools.

All I’ve got to say is they’re not making me learn any foreign languages. If English is good enough for me, then by golly, it’s good enough for the rest of the world! Everyone should speak English or just shut up, that’s what I say!

They may want to check the chemical content of their tap water.

Some kind of matter-antimatter reaction, I’d bet. Mr. Neville and I were at a Mazda dealership the other day, checking out cars and putting our car seats in them to see if they would fit. We wondered what would happen if you tried to put a car seat in a Miata. Probably something similar to what would happen if an American-born Muslim said the Pledge of Allegiance.

The statue of Lincoln at the Lincoln Memorial rises from his seat and lays waste to the Union.

Well, obviously, the most offensive part was that they just had to do it at Pine Bush school. Have some respect.

I am mostly disappointed that I cannot seem to find a recording of it.

Yeah, last I heard, pines were trees. What the heck?

I played that video game!

One word of the pledge is in Arabic in this video.

The Statue of Liberty cries a single tear which DNA testing identifies as belonging to Ronald Reagan.

You must assimilate!!

It’s like deja vu all over again.

And, of course, on one particular media outlet, the host discussed the issue with expert Arab-American Zuhdi Jasser (video), where we learn what an awful thing it was to make all those kids recite The Pledge in Arabic.

(which, of course, is not at all what happened)
