Assalamu Alaikum, Marhaba, Shalom, KeysaHe, Kemon Acho, Adaab and Hey!
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 one too many old ladies having a heart attack every time I boarded an airplane, I snapped. That's Right! 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 join our Not A Wear Facebook group if you want to receive a quick reminder message when I get new shirts posted. I’ve got a lot of great ideas for shirts, so please stay tuned.
Not A Terrorist
The “Not A Terrorist” Shirt is guaranteed to generate a larger reaction than ANY shirt you’ve ever worn. Expect people to laugh, tell you they love the shirt, and stop you for a conversation. It gets a lot of attention and is an amazing conversation starter, ice breaker, and all around awesome statement to make.
Not yet convinced? Read the comments people have written on the Not A Wear Facebook group wall or True Story: I got stopped in the Washington D.C. Metro by a reporter who ended up doing a story on the shirt and Not A Wear. So if you feel bold enough, get NOT A TERRORIST across your chest.
Pro-Palestinian Does Not Mean Anti-Israeli
This shirt makes a very important statement that a lot of people are not ready to accept, while at the same time recognizing movements like Jewish Voice for Peace, and the Israeli Committee Against Housing Demolitions.
Proceeds from this shirt will be donated to Seeds of Peace, an organization that brings Palestinian and Israeli teenagers together to foster friendship, understanding, trust, and most importantly humanize the people on the “other side”.
As a Palestinian, I truly believe this is the only way to Peace in the future. They literally are planting seeds of peace in people and I am proud to support it. Help support it and make a great statement by getting a “Pro-Palestinian does NOT mean Anit-Israeli” Shirt.
Gaza Poster
Homework by Candlelight
This thought provoking poster features a quote by Ze'ev Boim (Israeli Housing and Construction Minister) saying, "We'll shut off the electricity in Gaza and they can choke inside there."
The powerful image of the boys doing homework by candle light shows both the plight and determination of an oppressed people.
For each poster sold Not A Wear pledges to make a three dollar donation to UPA, a Washington D.C. based non-profit that provides humanitarian relief in Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon.
