Dunkin Donuts And Keffiyehs

I've never commented before on political and stupid things that other people say before. But this time I just can't help myself.

As you may, or may not, know about the recent scandal surrounding the Keffiyeh scarf worn by Rachel Ray implying that she, and Dunkin Donuts were somehow sympathizing with, and I quote, "the traditional scarf of Arab men that has come to symbolize murderous Palestinian jihad".

First of all, Michelle Malkin says "the traditional scarf of Arab men" and then she says "to symbolize murderous Palestinian jihad". So in effect all Arab men symbolize with Palestinians, which means you think the entire Arab region is filled with murderers?

Did she vote for George W. Bush? Twice?

I'm not going to get into the whole Palestine issue as it's just way too big for me, but to try and paint a picture about an entire demographic region via a scarf is just plain downright idiocy. Also the use of the word Jihad, mostly by western bloggers and news media who have no clue about its real meaning, has become so grossly misstated that its become a fashion to use it to create a buzz for themselves.

The era of disinformation, to give the notion of truth, began a long long time ago. Back then it spread slowly via horseback and took years to decades. But today it is quite literally possible to feed into the minds of millions of people virtually overnight. Thanks to people like Michelle they are working on doing that every single day and night.

On a lighter note, I'm a sucker for a chocolate topped donut, any time!
