This bag has a very important message about Islamophobia

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

A tote bag with Arabic writing has popped up in a Berlin metro and it promises to fight Islamophobic stereotypes with cleverness and style.

The writer on the outside reads: "This text has no other purpose than to terrify those who are afraid of the Arabic language" according to Berlin-based journalist Nader Al-Sarras, who first shared the picture.

The bag is produced by Rock Paper Scissors, a graphic design and print studio run by Sana Jammalieh, 29, and Haitham Charles Haddad, 27 in Haifa, Israel.
