Jihad Chic
Reader Elle was in Vegas this weekend with a camera and happened upon the Urban Outfitters....
in the Aladdin Hotel (of course) and instead of finding the Keffiyah scarfs I now found the other version: Keffiyah shirts (in 3 colors). Feh.
Shoving the Jihad down our throats. This is no accident. Neither was this or this
It's all part of a subtle brainwashing. Silently, mainstreaming the jihad. What that keffiyeh represents and what it means ............ and that it should be the fashion? Morally inverted.

I guess the next thing will be "Flags R Us" stores, featuring American, Danish and Israeli flags suitable for burning. Each flag comes with a box of matches no doubt.

Oh yes, must have the box of matches. This serves a double purpose. 1) Set the oppressor's flag ablaze, and 2) the mob will be able to "still smell the sulfur" when the National Guard shows up.

If I owned a pig farm, I'd buy a bunch of those shirts and dress the pigs.

Howard Dean must shop there. I have a great photo of him wearing one of those rags.
Oh, and BTW ... WalMart in San Diego, California allows their employees to wear a face veil. Looks rather odd with a blue WalMart shirt over to-the-floor burka and a black face veil.
It's like the frog story... put a toe at a time in the blender until it's all gone and you didn't even realize it.

Reason 9785 that I moved out of Vegas after 20 years! Unbelievable... What the heck is going on in America these days? Are we destined to go the dhimmi way of Europe and surrender without a fight? So Islamofacism conquers the world and the world surrenders with a whimper instead of a bang... Shameful - will never go into the Aladdin again...

Ummm....
i guess some of you guys know your facts...
the president of urban outfitters is Richard Hayne. If you do not know who that is, you probably should. he is a staunch republican and a long-time supporter of rick santorum
(don't believe me, check out this link: http://www.philadelphiaweekly.com/view.php?id=5725)
i'm not an idealogue, but come on, its only a clothing store, and its a clothing store owned and run by very conservative republicans (a fact which most liberal shoppers at urban outfitters do not understand). try not to develop conspiracy theories over nothing.

As cute as this feigned outrage is, maybe you should read the wikipedia article more closely:
For some years, the wearing of the keffiyeh has been almost ubiquitous amongst British soldiers, who exclusively refer to them as shemaghs. Their use by the British Army dates back at least to the Second World War when Special Air Service troops, amongst others, wore them while operating in the deserts of North Africa. After the war, their use by the Army continued with the keffiyeh being worn in both desert and temperate environments in theatres such as Dhofar. Since the beginning of the War on Terror, these keffiyeh, usually cotton and in olive drab or khaki with black stitching, have been adopted by US troops as well. Their practicality in an arid environment, as in Afghanistan and Iraq, explains their constant popularity with soldiers. Soldiers often wear the keffiyeh folded in half into a triangle and wrapped around the face, with the halfway point being placed over the mouth and nose, sometimes coupled with goggles, to keep sand out of the face.
Damn American soldiers in the war on terror, siding with the terrorists.
Also, get with the program. Urban Outfitters is tres gauche.

Oh and Shy Guy, you're thinking of the whole "frog in boiling water" story. Get it straight.

The so-called elites, left and right, of our country are tripping over themselves and each other to pander to Muslims.

And you're thinking of the post by Jakesgramma, not by me. ;)

You're insane. That's all there is to it. I simply can't believe that you find a resemblence in a pattern between a head scarf and some shirts, and you report it as evidence of subtle brainwashing.
You need help, Pam. Do it for your children.
