This Bag Reveals Something Important About Islamophobia


Islam has become a topic of contention for many politicians. Trump and many of his ilk have railed against it, have pinned many crimes and wrongful accusations against Muslim people. There’s a lot of fear-mongering happening around this religion. Though just how bad can it get?

Just take a look at this bag. How does it make you feel?

Islamophobia

If your first reaction was to feel afraid or uneasy, well… That’s certainly something to think about, isn’t it?

This totebag was spotted in the Berlin metro, and wants people to think about perceptions and attitudes surrounding Islamophobia, and to combat it with wit and class.

This bag is a product of the company Rock Paper Scissors, a graphic design and print studio based in Haifa, Israel. The company is run by Jammalieh, 29, and Haitham Charles Haddad, 27 , and recently showcased their own brand of wit and creativity in Germany.

Many of their products have Arabic on them. Why? Why not? The Palestinian duo explained it’s simply “because it is our language, and part of who we are, and we think it should be part of our urban landscape.” They recounted how this form of writing has begun fade in their own area. “We notice here that the Arabic language is starting to disappear from signs and public places.”
