NYC Arab-Themed Public School Principal Tied to "Intifada" T-Shirts

** One Jerusalem has video on the radical school principal and updates on this growing controversy in New York City.

The New York Post reported today on the controversial Arabic-themed School linked to a movement that increasingly lauds violence against Israelis:

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.
Clearly, the officials in NYC need to take another look at this Arabic public school and its radical principal. One Jerusalem has contact numbers.

Jammie Wearing Fool has more on the principal at the Arabic School.

    "Arab Women Active in Art and Media".

    Isn't this contradictory to the role of women in Islamic societies?

    It's amazing that Islamists, who live so well here in America, encourages regression to 7th century ideology. It's such a crazy cult, it boggles my mind that there are people who embrace it.

    Ultimately, the Islamic faith is based on the idea humans should not enjoy life on earth. All existence should be devoted only to the worship of Allah and his pedophile prophet, in the hopes that one day, Muslim men will be able to live for all eternity with 72 virgins.

    (Women, by the way, are sent to hell unless their husband wants them in paradise to watch him enjoy his 72 virgins...)

    How wrong are you djm. Christ, a cult? do you even know what you are talking about. wow i am a muslim and i enjoy life as much as possible. I think its ignorant to mix a political movement with a religion. You are no better than Osama and his goons. The media is so stupid too. they brain wash ppl like you to think islam preaches violence. I am a muslim and i have never thought of even picking up a gun. Intifada just like the word jihad has been mis interpreted and made negative. I employ you to find out a bit about the religion, instead of bad mouthing over a 2 billion and calling their way of life a cult.
