Mich. High School Students in Trouble for Twin Towers Shirts
DEARBORN, Michigan — At least nine Detroit area high school juniors are in trouble for wearing sweat shirts bearing a design that evokes the terrorist attacks that destroyed the World Trade Center’s Twin Towers.
Dearborn Public Schools spokesman David Mustonen has told The Detroit News and Detroit Free Press that the shirts the boys wore to Edsel Ford High School on Monday are “offensive” and in “poor taste.”
The boys are Arab-American, as are about half the school’s 1,700 students.
They belong to the 2011 class. On the shirts, the number 11 resembles two buildings, with the school’s “Thunderbird” mascot flying toward them. Printed beneath the image are the words, “You can’t bring us down.”
The boys are to meet with school officials but suspensions are not planned.

Let me get this straight. These high school ‘terrorists in the making’ aren’t going to be suspended for blatantly condoning the 9/11 attacks? Well it’s no surprise really because Dearborn, Michigan is the Muslim capital of the United States. There are so many Muslims residing in Dearborn the Walmart company decided to open a new store catering specifically to Muslims.
These ‘terrorists in training’ Muslim kids in Dearborn need to be taught a lesson and I find no better resource than their own homelands philosophy of dealing with punks.
Saudi Arabia’s juvenile justice system fails to protect the rights of juvenile defenders. Judicial discretion regarding the bases for arrests and length of detention for children is exacerbated by the lack of law setting an age below which a child should not be tried as an adult. A 2006 announcement raising the age of criminal responsibility for boys-there is none for girls- from seven to 12 years is not fully observed. Judges have sentenced to death at least 12 persons for offenses committed while under age 18, including two cases of juvenile offenders who were executed in 2007, one as young as 13 at the time of the offense. Judges also regularly order corporal punishment as a judicial penalty.
If these kids want a Muslim world and to make fun of an American tragedy let’s give them Muslim discipline and law. How about one lashing for every person who died on September 11th? Sounds fair to me and I’ll even count in Arabic if I get to administer a few of the lashings.
Speaking of humor, I find this incredibly funny.
