Nuke Mecca: Buy your t-shirts today!
FOR RELEASE: IMMEDIATELYConservative blogging legend Nuke Gingrich has announced the launch of a new website to be published in Arabic.
“Using the power of Google translation tools, I believe this will be the beginning of a new era in spreading the conservative message to the Islamic world.”
In conjunction with the kickoff of the new website, Gingrich has also announced the sale of a limited supply of “Nuke Mecca” t-shirts.
When asked if he was advocating the use of nuclear weapons against Mecca, Gingrich strongly denied any such connotation.
“In this instance, Nuke comes from the Latin root meaning “to glow.” My intention is to illuminate the muslim world with conservative principles.
Nuke Mecca is simply my nom de guerre for the Arabic website version of the Nuke Gingrich franchise. I don’t believe the intention is to have any nuclear bombing of Mecca.”

In a related story from the NY Post…………………
Activists with ties to the principal of the city’s controversial new Arabic-themed school are hawking T- shirts that glorify Palestinian terror, The Post has learned.
The inflammatory tees boldly declare “Intifada NYC” - apparently a call for a Gaza-style uprising in the Big Apple.
The organization selling the shirts, Arab Women Active in Art and Media, shares office space on Brooklyn’s Third Avenue with the Saba Association of American Yemenis.
Dhabah “Debbie” Almontaser, principal of the Khalil Gibran International Academy - which is scheduled to open in Brooklyn next month - is a board member and spokeswoman for Saba.
Members of AWAAM refused to comment.
But Almontaser downplayed the significance of the T-shirts.
“The word [intifada] basically means ’shaking off.’ That is the root word if you look it up in Arabic,” she said.
“I understand it is developing a negative connotation due to the uprising in the Palestinian-Israeli areas. I don’t believe the intention is to have any of that kind of [violence] in New York City.
“I think it’s pretty much an opportunity for girls to express that they are part of New York City society . . . and shaking off oppression.”
Now, I am all for muslim women shaking off oppression. Lord knows they’ve endured centuries of oppression under the misogynistic cult of islam. But, this type of taquiya-kittman from Almontaser is completely inexcusable and unacceptable.

Sarcasm certainly has a high shock value, no matter who uses it... In High School we made "Nuke Gay Wales" shirts, and in the wake of Monty Python's Life of Brian we had "Smile, Brian Loves You". We were bored and liked the controversy. Things don't seem to change much.

I loved Life of Brian.
My satire doesn't come close to MP, but what does?
When I read the bizarre NYPost story about the NYC school principal expressing support for "NYC Intifada" t-shirts, I just couldn't help myself. The thought of turning NYC into a hell-hole like Gaza, in the name of shaking off "oppression" is just too much.

My advice: Restrict your writing to your high school paper. Just because anything can be put on the internet doesn't mean it should be.
