Me, a couple months ago in response to Raed getting hassled at an airport for having “we will not be silent” on his shirt in arabic:

I wouldn’t be surprised if there already were T-shirts that said “I am a terrorist”. If not, then maybe I should make that shirt. Not to be funny, but to make a point about how nonsensical our assumptions about people are, and as a protest of how over the past few years this society has grown scared of its own shadow.

I just found out in the span of a minute that 1) Tim Murtaugh made a shirt that says “I am NOT a terrorist” in arabic a few days before I’d posted this & 2) someone made a T-shirt designed to make it look like the person wearing it look like a suicide bomber from a distance (CNN was showing someone wearing one).  So depending on what reaction you get from the shirts, either I was ever so slightly behind the curve (Tim got the gist of what I meant despite the difference in phrasing) or I Called It (the “suicide bomber” shirt is more literal)…
