Syrian Protest

Most Syrians struggle to even read Arabic - much less have a clue about English.

So, how does a group of Syrian protest leaders create the most impact with their signs by having the standard "Death To Americans" (etc.) slogans printed in English?

Answer: They simply hire an English-speaking civilian to translate and write their statements in English.



Bus fare to anti-war protest rally $0.50

Paint and canvas protest signs - $32.00

Asking a retired US Army Sergeant to translate your anti-American slogans - PRICELESS

Hat tip to Lee Pang

1. These look more like Pakistanis or Afghanis, not Syrians.
2. The English text doesn't match the sign surface - not carefully photoshopped.
3. This has been circulating since at least 2003.

Dont know about the other two, but clearly they were photoshopped

HEY! I've got an idea - lets spread some more racism! Gee, being a white American is AWESOME! Let's keep it going strong! Blogging on the internet is the PERFECT idea, glad I'm the FIRST PERSON TO THINK OF IT...

Syrian is not a race. It is a country.

Islam is not a race, it is a religion.
