A conservative U.S. clothing outlet is stoking Muslim fury over the Muhammed cartoons by selling shirts on the Net printed with the image of the Prophet wearing a bomb on his head. "This is a perfect example of why Americans are hated around the world," the Pakistan Daily Times wrote yesterday on its Web site. "Finding humor in the desecration of another's religious symbol is wrong." But the company, MetroSpy, insists it is protecting free speech - and fighting terrorism - with its shirts, which retail for $19.99 each. "We can't let the terrorists win. We cannot encourage this uncivilized behavior by caving in to their wishes," Nate Thomas, product manager for MetroSpy, said of the protests and embassy torchings that have erupted across the Muslim world. "We wanted a simple way to exercise our freedom of speech and to stand up to the terrorists. This design was perfect," said Thomas. The latest twist in the cartoon saga came as protests continued around the Muslim world. Ultranationalist Turks, chanting "vengeance," pelted the French Consulate in Istanbul with eggs as about 2,500 pro-Islamic demonstrators shouted "Down with America, Israel and Denmark." And at least 30,000 protesters denounced publication of the drawings, which appeared first in Denmark, in a rally in southeast Turkey. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi called on Denmark and U.S. Secretary of State Rice to apologize. "What happened was a natural reaction," Asefi said, adding that "an apology could alleviate the tension." But Rice said it is Iran and Syria that need to account for their behavior, blaming the regimes in the two nations for urging its citizens to engage in violence. "If people continue to incite it, it could spin out of control," she said on ABC's "This Week." ******** The shirts are being sold by what is self described as politically conservative.

I've seen this kind of thing before. Besides their international Jew media entertainment combine, the Zionist kikes have their claws in every other form of propaganda & psyops - T-shirts, caps, posters, bill boards, bumper stickers, playing cards, games, jackets, you name it.
I will say that they chose my favorite 'toon for the shirts. TurbanBomber rules.
I tell you this company is from Santa Ana CA.. I did a search to see exactly who owns the company.. but came up short..but I'll wager the usual suspects own it.
Over the past few years, MetroSpy has become America's premier right-wing, neo- con, attack brand. We take orders directly from high level government officials and politicians. MetroSpy IS the vast right wing conspiracy. Paul Wolfowitz, Dick Cheney, Don Rumsfeld all spend time plotting the new world order on the MetroSpy ranch compound. Our mission is to build and deploy effective retail counter measures against Hollywood leftist wussies, Democrats, liberal college campus girly-men, and the anti-American media conglomerates. Our goals are achieved through the strategic placement of conservative messages on your body, on the street and in yer mamma's house. ...and yes, we have guns. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Humans are not destroying the planet -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Ignore them! They're only Europeans ...and yes, we're serious, bitch! +++++ Who knows who they may be?
