			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>How petty-minded and ridiculous this is: <a href="http://michellemalkin.com/" rel="tag">Michelle Malkin</a>, that maven of what an unfortunately large proportion of the internet believe is culture, has <a href="http://michellemalkin.com/2008/05/28/the-keffiyeh-kerfuffle/">complained about an ad</a> where <em>Rachael Ray</em> is promoting Dunkin&#8217; Donuts. The part she&#8217;s complaining about &#8211; her scarf, which <em>Michelle</em> believes is a <em>keffiyeh</em>, and thus Dunkin&#8217; Donuts (and presumably <em>Rachael Ray</em> too) are promoting terrorism because (some) terrorists wear it. This picture:</p>
<div style="margin:0 auto;text-align:center;">
<a href='http://www.richarddows.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/rachaelraykeffiyeh.jpg'><img src="http://www.richarddows.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/rachaelraykeffiyeh.jpg" alt="" title="rachaelraykeffiyeh" width="226" height="170" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-450" /></a>
</div>
<p>Ridiculous this is, because there must be millions of Arabs/muslims who wear the <em>keffiyeh</em> and they&#8217;re not terrorists. Yes, maybe they agree with the Palestinian struggle &#8211; and may I ask why wouldn&#8217;t they? &#8211; a land they inhabited before Israel was formed, and all they want is fair treatment and the creation of a true state &#8211; but that doesn&#8217;t make them terrorists.</p>
<p>If we were to follow <em>Michelle</em>&#8216;s logic, then I assume American television will be pulling any and all programming with actors or images showing the <em>keffiyeh</em> (or a scarf that looks like one) in any form because someone might complain and they want to show their sensitivity. Right?</p>
<p>I suppose newspapers won&#8217;t be able to print pictures of someone wearing a <em>keffiyeh</em> either, because that newspaper is so obviously then promoting terrorism and/or stating a political viewpoint (for God&#8217;s sake, what American newspaper -doesn&#8217;t- have a political stance?!).</p>
<p>Maybe <em>Michelle</em>, you should consider jeans too, I believe a lot of terrorists wear jeans. God those things are just -so- promoting terrorism, it&#8217;s written all over them &#8230;</p>
