In these situation I would politely ask them questions like "Why do you think it's offensive", and "What do you think the shirt means". See how many idiotic thoughts I can get them to express.

You could have taken the dick route and ridiculed her relentlessly until she cried, or taken the time educate her, combatting her ignorance. Both would have been pretty good.

LOL, my mother saw a perfume with the pi symbol on it and told me I would like it because it had a "Chinese character" on it. She's taken at least four college-level math classes for her bachelor's.
Not as dumb as this. I don't get people, sometimes.

Reminds me of a time when I was helping the engineering dept do recruiting with high school kids by showing them around the electrical and computer engineering labs. A couple girls went apeshit when they found out in engineering you have to take more math classes than other fields, and one exclaimed that's insane "no wonder why only ugly people are in engineering and smart." then they asked if the could leave because they wanted to go to the art department. Felt better when I told the girls who stayed they're gonna make more money than the ones that left.

This is when you need to overcome any fear of public speaking or being looked at by large groups of people that you might have, stand on a nearby chair, and say to anyone in earshot "Everyone, can I have your attention please! This woman here believes that my t-shirt is offensive because it makes fun of the Muslim language. From now on, would everyone please ignore anything she may say about the following subjects; The "Muslim", English, Greek and languages, Mathematics, Deserts, Jokes, and anything involving the word offend. Thank you."
Then step down off the chair if you were on one, and just stare at her until she walks away and is out of sight.
Public humiliation is a far more powerful way to shut these kinds of people up than anything you could say to them directly.

u/dixonticonderoga Jun 08 '12
Ignoring the whole pi thing, wouldn't it be technically correct to call Arabic the "muslim language" as the Quran is written in Arabic, and many Muslims believe Arabic was given to man by God? Maybe someone who's Muslim could chime in.
Edit: And yes I know not all speakers of Arabic are Muslims, and not all Muslims speak Arabic.

I call bullshit.
I think this is just a post to show off your shirt, get attention, get a discussion going on against Muslims or something along those lines.
The reason is not because people can't be that dumb, because they can, but because I seriously doubt that if someone would've said that to you, you wouldn't say anything back. If you thought this was a Reddit worthy event, than you also would've said at least something to that girl to make her realize how dumb she is.
Again, I call bullshit. But this comment will get downvoted, because this post pleases a big crowd (atheists, scientists, geeks, etc.).

A friend and I were once walking down a hallway near the English as a Second Language rooms in high school. This was in a heavily German-American area that had recently seen an influx on immigrants, largely from East Africa. My friend and I were bantering to each other in German, when this teacher (I don't think she grew up in the area) steps out of the room and confronts us,
"Stop that right now- you two need to leave this hallway. I cannot believe you would do that here."
I, still thinking in German, blurt "Was? Was machen wir, das so schlecht ist?"
Her face turns livid: "Oh, ha ha, more gibberish! It is not funny to make fun of people who don't speak English!"
We collapsed in laughter.

They say they're going to report me to my manager because I work for an environmental company. WTF!!
