Infidel Ball caps

Re: Infidel Ball caps

The version we have done in the past has an American flag on front and the 'kafir' script on the back.

Thanks Nomad!

Re: Infidel Ball caps

So tell us, ShallowGrave, what is wrong?

Are you saying that this offering from LineStretch is miss-spelled, and that it actually says "beef with broccoli"?

Or is it some 'local dialect' or whatever to which it depends on the region to make the differences in what it portrays?

Maybe the differing regions work that out to "Abdul's 'Rent-A-Hump' used Camel-lot.


Note the "Robin Hood" inflection there,,,,
 
Re: Infidel Ball caps

Here's a few references for you. I dont have time to pull them all out, I have to go back to being a capitalist advantage-taking pig...

And while youre at it, post some creds that say youre right and everybody else is wrong. Like an Arabic birth certificate. I suspect you may have purchased the 'other' version and THAT is why it MUST be correct..

At least I spelled "Snipper's Hide" correct on THAT gear...

Kafir (Arabic: كافر kāfir; plural كفّار kuffār) is a term used in a Islamic doctrinal sense, usually translated as "unbeliever" or "disbeliever", or sometimes "infidel". The term refers to a person who rejects God or who hides, denies, or "covers" the truth. The Quran also uses the word for Muslims; in Sura 2 Verse 256, it asks them to take upon themselves the action of "Kofr" of all unjust idols, persons or powers.

This. I don't have any of their hats but their t-shirts that I own are all very nice and quality shirts.
 
Re: Infidel Ball caps

OK so I needed to see your response SO much you had to PM me also!? WTF?

I dont believe I insulted you in my post, I asked for creds of some sort. So youre a "Novice Linguist". Thats like having a yellow belt in Tae Kwon Do right? And if I read that correctly, you FLEW OVER Afganistan once?? Wow

So...whats got you so wound up is the 'disconnected' parts in the latter part of the 'script' right? The little 's' squiggle and the 'small l / 'backwards capital L'? OK, in essence a 'mis-spelling'. That's not much to get all worked up and insulting over.

And lastly, before you continue working on Arabic, master English first or at least proof the spelling in your post.

I think this thread has run its course.
 
Re: Infidel Ball caps

Most people point this stuff out in a respectful manner, which i might have been receptive to. You on the other hand have called me an idiot, a moron, retard, sorry ass, insulted my company, and called me out to the playground. Again...wow.

And this: Come to Nebraska, hell Ill meet you half way, or the nest time im in San Antonio we can meet. And you can see in person how terrible I am at my job, the one that gives you the freedom to talk shit and degrade me.

What are you offering? You gonna translate something else for me? And when exactly did I 'degrade' you?

And if Im reading your rant correctly, you also FLEW OVER Iraq. Good for you.

And this: A novice linguist, realize the date on that document, 2007 when I spent over 2 years of my life dedicated to learning Arabic at the Defense Language Institue in Monterey California to protect your sorry ass.

I dont really need the help of a Novice Linguist to protect my 'sorry ass'. I'm quite capable thanks.

You give internet tough-guys a bad name.
 
Re: Infidel Ball caps

Jesus Christ!!! Attack, attack, attack.....JC, I guess i better bring the shirts and hoodie back to you. They must be a shit product according to what I read in this post. Im just killing time at work, reading and dropped in on what I thought was boring reading. Boy was I wrong. It seems a little stupid to go hacking off and attacking someones product, no matter what it is just because you know more than somebody else about a specific topic. I know JC was just trying to give the poster an opportunity to buy what he asked for, he sells good stuff and has great customer service. Im sure that the average Joe in public America doesnt know what the hell the squiggly lines "really" mean in English but they know with an American flag on the front in subdued colors and the Ariabic "looking" writing on the back its suppose to be in support of American troops. Im a veteran and patriotic American and I really dont give a fuck if the Taliban or Arabic writing on the back of my cap or front of my shirt is spelled correctly or not because I cant read it and neither can 99.9 percent of the people looking at it. The post was about where the originator could buy a cap with "Infidel" on it not a Taliban spelling bee. Never fails, someone has take over someone elses post with bullshit.

werd. Jesus, there's always someone.
I am also a veteran and have only been out a year but you don't see me spewing about how I was "protecting" anyone's "sorry asses", actually I rarely see or hear any veteran/active duty person going on such tangents.
A slight miss "spelling" sure is an odd thing to get so butthurt over and start slinging insults.

He may well be right. It is his presentation that is the issue.

Had he simply introduced himself, stated that he had 'X' training and experience studying the Arabic language, and the script on the back of my hat is incorrect, we may have gotten somewhere. Instead he wraps all that around being an asshole.

I'm all for my stuff being correct. If its not right I'll change it. If someone has one of my 'incorrect' hats and wants it fixed PM me.

Just dont be an asshole about it.
 
Re: Infidel Ball caps

Damn, the patch that my buddy sent me from Bagram when he was over playing cowboys and muslims says I. nfidel!!!!!!!
I wish I had a cunning linguist to tell me that before so I could have offended my friend by refusing his crappy momento he picked up for me while serving over there.

JC-your shit is GTG! Been wearing it for years and have had ZERO problems.
 
Re: Infidel Ball caps

OK, now I want one. I looked on the website and didn't see them offered. Are they still available?

It's too bad this degenerated the way it did. I'd prefer my hat be correct, but I sure see no reason for all the silliness from Shallowgrave. Point out the error, be polite. The internet allows people to say things they might not say to your face.

Re: Infidel Ball caps

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: ShallowGrave</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Yes, moron a misspelling, exaclty as it has been stated many times before. Your hat instead of "Infidel" now reads "Jackass". Hell of a misspelling. "I'm with stupid"
A novice linguist, realize the date on that document, 2007 when I spent over 2 years of my life dedicated to learning Arabic at the Defense Language Institue in Monterey California to protect your sorry ass. "Entered the ranks of the flying community", actually you didn't read that correctly- that was my first operation mission aboard the worlds leading intelligence, surveillance and reconaissance aircraft to which I am a crewmwmber, who has problems with english here? Im not posting my all my 1013.9 combat hours for the last few years for your satisfaction. I am and have been an Arabic Airborne Cryptologic Linguist, 1A871 for the Air Forece for the last few years. </div></div>

Before you start castigating your fellow SH members for their ignorance on "Proper Modern Arabic",I suggest you master the English Language first.Seems you are the "Dumbass" that does have problems with English (capitalize it),and institute,reconnaissance,crew member,and Air Force.

I was a crew member on nuclear missiles in Germany at the height of the Cold War,and yes,our Pershing P1A was a very real threat to the USSR.I can imagine you were in diapers at that time.I then volunteered for,and served,five years in EOD.I seriously doubt you were in any more danger during your "Combat Hours" than I was,EOD used the UH-1 as transport a lot,I was involved in two emergency landings during that time.Not a "Crash" as they landed upright both times,hard.

Being a Veteran,I have a tremendous respect for anybody that serves in the US Military.Your comment about protecting his "Sorry Ass" is over the top and laughable.You,Sir,are a Pompous Ass.
 
Re: Infidel Ball caps

This is some entertaining shit!

1. If you don't like TX suck my balls. After all most of us are here because we like guns and shit, and no state does that better than TX.

2. If you wear a hat that says "infidel" on it there's a 99% chance you were never overseas. Or if you were you just flew over (I hadn't heard anyone brag about that before).

3. Either one of those things makes you a tool.
 
Re: Infidel Ball caps

Jeez man, why'd you have to get all butthurt over the way he spells infidel, let the man do what he wants! He puts out a great product for a great price ( I own a few shirts and patches), and your here talking about how he rips people off. Do you really have nothing better to do?

If I acted emotionally,rather than objectively with professionalism,both on and off duty.I would have been disqualified from both my duties in the US Army.

Do you make it a habit of throwing around insults and name calling?I sure hope you don't have a CCW as you seem to be a bit too excitable and emotional for that responsibility.
 
Re: Infidel Ball caps

This shit keeps getting better and better. Now he's insulting everyone from Texas. Big boy on the internet. If you couldnt tell, there were people on your side of the issue in the beginning, but I think you fucked that up too. By the way, you said your job was listening to Arabic, then called yourself an enlisted aviator. Im a pilot and I dont recall anyone who sits his ass in the back of the airplane while someone else flies and navigates ever being called an aviator.

I am damn good at it and you liken me to a yellow belt. This is as respectiful as I can be to you as you have shown no remorse for ripping people off. There are no more words for what I feel right now. I hope you have a wonderful day and chose to provide a better quality product in the future before taking money for it.

Holy cow Frances, lighten up.

So you went to tech school and did a tour or two flying around the rock. Good for you. Get over a misspelling and move on.

Sheesh! You act like you're actually part of the aircrew instead of a passenger.
 
Re: Infidel Ball caps

@ShallowGrave,just a pointer here,do not get too excited when you are pouring the Pilot's coffee and spill it on his lap.I imagine you have a few Squadron Members who are from Texas also,might want to keep your feelings to yourself or they may give you a "Snuggy".

+1

Texas has another motto.

"It's like a whole other country."

And those of us that are natives don't appreciate insults to our country or the people in it. What a way to try and fish out some kind of insult. A sign of the desperate in a loosing fight.
 
Re: Infidel Ball caps

After reading through the thread, and trying very hard not to respond because I generally don't respond to rude and disrespectful people. I decided I had a few things to say. Besides, I'm usually a good thread killer and this one needs to be done with.

First of all Thank you to everyone that has said so many good things about our products. We appreciate you all of you very much.

Shallowgrave...if you have done all that you say you have done you'd know that there are more important things in life to get all twisted up about and if you think this is one of them...you need to spend more time with your wife and children. Life is too short.

Aren't you lucky to be living in a country where you can go off on a misguided rant and know that your family is safe from harm. There are many people that don't have that freedom. Thank you for serving your country, but while you were flying around, my son and JC's step-son was on the ground and will be again in a few weeks. So until you have walked in his shoes looking for daisy chains and tried to sleep through the nightly shelling. Your service in the sky was a walk in the park. Thank God that you did not have to do what he and so many others had to do. I was an Airforce wife for twenty years, I know your position and had friends that did it. So get off your high horse and step down here with the rest of us.

It is obvious that you are a Novice at your linguistics otherwise a little research will show you that this can be spelled many ways. We did our research and had our spelling verified...not by a linguist, but by a native born and raised arabic that I work with. The way you discribed it is also a very popular way of spelling it. Neither is wrong just different...so get over it.

In closing...if you don't like the hat, Don't buy it. If the hat offends you, Don't buy it. If you don't like how we've spelled it, Don't buy it. You live in the land of free choices, you obviously don't like it...so I won't be looking for an order from you.

In the mean time...take a breath and go hug one of your kids...it will make you feel better.

Have a nice day,

Susan

Re: Infidel Ball caps

I just don't care if I offend a Muslim, and it's not b/c I'm a ignorant American, or even religious at all, it's that I just don't give a fuck. I don't give a fuck about Muslims who want to kill Americans. I don't give a fuck about Muslims who don't want to kill Americans giving a fuck about what's on my hat. I also don't give a fuck about the fact that Shallograve is by in large right. You don't have to be an asshole to make your point. Especially to a pretty good dude such as JC, over a fucking hat.

I'm sick of having to tip-toe around Muslims getting butt-hurt about a word on a hat that describes their extremists chant. Don't look at me, look at the ones sawing off heads. Fix them, you'll fix me.

I'm usually deep in a drunken sleep then because I thought it was safer than when I'm rolling the streets of Kandahar, but I guess I should start staying sober during that flight with such a high SA-2 threat there and all. Never knew American flagged carriers put themselves in such hazardous conditions, especially without any ECM's like you have. They better give me triple Skymiles next flight!
