My scarf obviously makes me a terrorist...


This from the BBC today...

"Dunkin' Donuts has pulled an advert following complaints that the scarf worn by a celebrity chef offered symbolic support for Islamic extremism. The online advert for iced coffee featured the well-known US television chef Rachael Ray. She was wearing a black-and-white checked scarf around her neck that resembled a traditional Arab keffiyeh. This fashion choice incensed at least one prominent conservative blogger, who said it evoked extremist videos. The blogger, Michelle Malkin, called the garment "a regular adornment of Muslim terrorists appearing in beheading and hostage-taking videos". "

I have one of these scarfs....this obviously means I support terrorism.

Malikin is a mentalist who thinks Muslims should be treated like Japanese Americans in WWII.
