Poisonous Trends

August 26, 2005

At the first glance those T-shirts looked pretty funny and creative to me

but they stirred negative emotions among some individuals who happened to be Christians. The controversial T-shirt is the “yel3an Roma” one. While Natasha for example thought its funny, some Christian members of Mahjoob thought its very offensive and insulting.

I say, Young people are like clay, the older, the stronger or the smarter shape it the way they wish. Sometimes the tiny misunderstandings left unsolved grow to cause us troubles in the future.

  4. Hey 3alloosh :p
    I don’t find it funny at all but I must say the idea itself of putting such a 7afartal phrase on a T-shirt with a pic is pretty funny.
