Translation

The text on the bag reads:

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

No one is afraid of Arabic language, they are afraid of Islamic terrorists most, if not all, of which are Arabic, dipshit.

(1) It can be divided in halves or multiplied by 2 without making the number weirder, so it's very nice for guessing/adjusting values.
