@TBillsss @MailOnline try again - it was part of multi lingual week and only the Arabic was protested leading to only English from now on
You can recite the pledge of allegiance in any language you want except Arabic. http://dailym.ai/1B5ez4g via @MailOnline

@rezaaslan@ProfBanks@MailOnline Arabic is the boogeyman language to uninformed Americans. -
@TorraineWalker@rezaaslan@MailOnline Which is just plain foolishness. Don’t they remember it was German and Japanese we feared the same? -
@ProfBanks@rezaaslan@MailOnline It's "Othering", White America's favorite sport. -
@TorraineWalker@rezaaslan@MailOnline Remember, though, that the definition of whiteness is a constantly moving goalpost. -
@ProfBanks@rezaaslan@MailOnline Indeed. 1st Gen. Irish, Italians, Jews, were not considered "White" in the U.S. sense.

@rezaaslan then I read the pledge, and noticed that in 1954 they added God, so it seems that an#atheist can't actually make the pledge...Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
