As for “citizens” wearing them, they are the same dill weeds who think cop killers should go free, and Obama should be President. This same group also think “Che” chic is “cool.” Hardly a stellar group.

As for what the soldiers where, they are NOT the same scarf.

Anyone wearing the Keffiyah with one of two designs IS a terrorist, or a sympathizer. You should learn to read, idiot.

BTW Scott (and any liberals reading), why are only liberals allowed to be offended? and why are only liberals allowed to demand sensitivity from companies? Just wondering.

Oh yea, I have this idea to do a line of clothing with large gray and white stripes with a Yellow Star on the breast; what do you think? Sounds cool! Also I am thinking about taking a pointed white hat with eye holes in the flap that covers the face any maybe making black, or black and red, or maybe a paisley pattern; what do you think? What’s the matter, cat got your tongue?

Oh and Betti, you are correct in your assesment of the hypocrisy of the anti-American left — the people saying “it’s just a scarf” — and their terrorist buddies. Evil does not like the light of day.

Mark : I man not a liar, and may be an idiot about some things. Not this though. I have been to Iraq, and saw many men wearing a keffiyeh. They were not terrorists. Yes, many were red, so not exactly like the one in the commercial. I saw some with black and white square patterns too. I love how you accuse me of being an idiot or a liar, and yet you claim “You demean, degrade, and insult anyone who disagrees with you.” I did not call anyone any names. The only thing I would say you are is wrong.

There is nothing incorrect about saying Arab Countries. Iraq is an Arab Country. They have some non Arabs living there, but they are considered an Arab Country. They also have many non-Muslims. Either way, the keffiyeh is not official terrorist garb. Perhaps some patterns and colors have been adopted by terrorist groups for identification purposes. If that is what you are arguing, then perhaps I would agree. However, the keffiyeh if the Dunkin Donut commercial is not “clearly” one of them. Non terrorists do wear the keffiyeh. You can say otherwise as much as you want, and it will not make it true. Not all terrorists wear keffiyehs, and not everyone who wears a keffiyeh promotes terrorism.

As for the pattern, even if you look closely at it, it’s difficult to tell what the pattern is — which is the problem — ; however it’s clear that type of “scarf” is meant to resemble a keffiyeh. I love how all of sudden liberals can’t see how ‘business’ is trying to trick people by making knock offs.

As for the scarfs being different in the other pics; you are wrong. Yassir Arafat and DNC Charmain Howard Dean are wearing exactly the same style, the third is also exactly the same pattern with a different line (it’s crossed, where as Dean’s and Arafat’s are solid).

How sad that terrorist sympathizers will go to such extremes to cover up the most obvious example of camaraderie by terrorists. Proves why this is important.

Scott you are either an idiot, or a liar. Few people in “Arab” countries (do you even understand why that is wrong? You should have said Islamic) wear the keffiyah that is on display. Those that do are terrorists. There is a huge difference between the covering worn in most Islamic Nations, and those worn by the terrorists (Palestinians and their supporters). Sadly Scott your hatred is typical of the left.

Patti, are you really that clueless? Or are you just being a snarky liberal?

Dawn, you are of course typical of terrorist supporters. (I know you are not ignorant, you spew hatred instead of making points; which is the sign of a liberal aka terrorist supporter) You demean, degrade, and insult anyone who disagrees with you. You then make up specious arguments and exaggerated comparisons in an attempt to tear down others. No doubt so you can feel superior. Which of course you are not. Fact is that the “scarf” she is wearing is meant to evoke a keffiyah reminiscent of the terrorist’s symbol; the “Palestinian” keffiyeh.

I have been to the Middle East. Many, if not all, Arab men in many Arab countries where that head scarf, and MOST are not terrorists. The level of ignorance in this story is amazing. Not all terrorists where a Keffiyeh, and not everyone who wears a Keffiyeh is a terrorist. Morons.

I don’t know… I am just wandering why we are wasting our time on this.

Seriously? A black and white shawl or scarf does not a keffiyah make. A keffiyah is a VERY specific type of head covering worn by followers of Islam (and yes, some terrorists). Terrorists are also fond of military style fatigues. Surely no one would accuse everyone in fatigues of terrorist sympathies…

A black and white PAISLEY shawl is just that - a shawl. I have a lovely black and white fringed Hermes scarf that my grandmother gave me as a birthday gift a few years ago. I wear it with a black dress and get lots of compliments. (they still sell black and white scarves, by the way… lovely if you look at their website.)

ANYONE who thinks that a black and white shawl equals a symbol of terrorism is a lunatic and should be committed as such. I agree that no one should support terrorism, but come on! Rachel Ray is an American TV host. She stands for everything that the terrorists abhor. Making an issue of a scarf that is likely not in your taste only gives ammunition to those who oppose your viewpoints. You end up looking like an idiot. And, I would say that it is probably a little insulting for Rachel Ray to be, in a sense, called a terrorist sympathizer. I doubt very much that she is.

Shame on anyone who thinks otherwise.

You are the one spinning discussorama’s post to suit your fear-mongering. If you are scared by a donut shop ad you need professional help.

Just because “everyone” — an outrageous lie and desparate attempt to nullify an argument — is doing it; does not make it right. Remember slavery? Hey, everyone was doing it! Being a Nazi, everyone was doing it! Being a Communist; everyone was doing it!

The reason the Keffiyah (keffiyeh) is popular is because our brain damaged youth look up to American-hating-liberals in Hollywood who side with Terrorists; and those fools are wearing them.

Nice try at spin, though. Anyone else notice the haughty arrogance of discussorama mama’s post? Also notice she is totally clueless about what a Keffiyah (keffiyeh) actually represents. Sad.

Trends come and go, but paisley is a very old-fashioned, European pattern. It was last year’s trend in Paris, as usual, before migrating here, slowly, ever inching into the closets of Americans bursting with bulky sweatpants and flip-flops.

The REASON it’s fashionable now is because Americans have discovered we can still wear popular body-conscious clothes while the important neck area stays warm.

I live in an area where it matters if you wear red vs. blue. But that’s only if you are under 30, Latino, and in a gang. The rest of us don’t have to think about it. It’s the same for scarves. Certain people in certain places have to be careful with certain scarf types at certain times, but the rest of us should be freely able to get dressed and get on with more important things.

Still cracking up …. ha ha haha ha haha … donut ad … PLO supporters … ha hahahahahahahhaaaaaaaa. Awesome.

I don’t wear Swaztikas, I don’t wear noose logos, I don’t wear hammer and sickles, I don’t wear a Burka, I don’t wear a Crescent and Star, I sure as hell don’t wear a Terrorist scarf aka keffiyah (keffiyeh).

The only people who wear those items are people who support those ideoligies. Get it yet? Most likely not.

What’s sad is that people like Brian (who is so gutless he can’t use a real email address) don’t get any of this. Then again he is probably upset that his favorite people (terrorists) are being exposed.
