Arabic 'In God We Trust' signs headed to Texas schools — a law requires that they be

You're the one devoid of humor and cannot see the irony. The "Leftist" has nothing to do with this. You should be agreeing that religions and languages have equal representation in public school. That is the whole point of irony.

It isn't "irony." It is a blatant attempt to make a jab at the Christian Right by selecting Arabic and the connection to Islam. By switching to Klingon, it's funny rather than mean and accomplishes the same purpose.

It isn't a jab at Christianity. It's a jab at the right for wanting only their religion in public schools.

But not the same intended offense to incite Christians.

Hebrew - Intended offense to incite Christians.
Klingon - Intended offense to incite Christians because it's a fake language that implies their religion and the Bible are fake
Wookiese and Huttese - See above
Russian and Chinese - Intended offense to incite Christians because it implies they want theocracy
Korean - North Korea
And so on.

See where your logic leads to?

No. Your "logic" leads to an overwhelming exception fallacy.

Christians don't see Hebrew (Judaism), Klingon (a made-up language), Wookiese and Huttese (presumably made up languages), Russian, Chinese, etc., as a religious threat. Arabic is the language of Islam by dictate, and required in that religion to be used in reciting prayers, reading the Quran, etc. That makes this a religious challenge to the Texas law versus simply a linguistic one.

That makes it, in turn, an attempt to incite rather than ridicule, as one would expect of the Left.

Are you saying that Christians think American Muslims are a threat to them?
