Funny Arabic Text on Bags Startles People in Public

Journalist Nader Al-Sarras was on the Berlin U-bahn on Tuesday when he noticed someone carrying a rather interesting tote bag.

 

The Arabic read:

 

"This text has no other purpose than to terrify those who are afraid of the Arabic language."

 

The bag tickled him, and he put a picture of it on Facebook.

 

The post went viral very quickly; the way in which it plays off how often anything anything written in Arabic is considered suspicious clearly struck a chord.

 

Thousands of people shared Al-Sarras's post, many asking where they could buy the bag for themselves.
 

It soon surfaced that it's the product of a Haifa-based design company called Rock Paper Scissors...

 

...In case you were wondering where to get your own.
