Not A Wear
Assalamu Alaikum, Marhaba, Shalom,
KeysaHe, Kemon Acho, Adaab and What's up?
Welcome to NOT A WEAR.com, home of the official "Not A Terrorist" Shirt! This website is a result of being Middle Eastern in Post 9-11 America. Being that I’m a Palestinian (Yes we still claim it!) and have unmistakably Arab genetics, some would say I have that "classic terrorist" look. You know the one I’m talking about: brown skin, beard and mustache, and those piercing beady little Death-to-America eyes.
After the numerous stares and one too many old ladies having a heart attack every time I boarded an airplane, I snapped. Oh Yeah! I became fanatical and in my fit of Middle Eastern rage, I decided that I would fight back: FIRE WITH FIRE! So I wrote "Not A Terrorist" on a shirt and started sporting it to match my beard!
Be sure to sign up for the ListServ if you want to receive a quick reminder email when I get new shirts posted. I’ve got a lot of great ideas for shirts, so please stay tuned. Also, don’t forget to check out my blurb about Seeds of Peace.

Homework by Candlelight poster
This thought provoking poster features a quote by ZeÕev Boim (Israeli Housing and Construction Minister) saying, ÒWeÕll shut off the electricity in Gaza and they can choke inside there.Ó The powerful image of the boys doing homework by candle light shows both the plight and the determination of an oppressed people. Included in the price is a three dollar donation to UPA, a Washington based non-profit that provides humanitarian relief in Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon.
