Dunkin Donuts’ online ad of Rachel Ray was pulled yesterday. Apparently Rachel Ray was wearing a scarf that symbolized support for terrorism. The scarf is black and white and looks similar to kaffiyeh, a Palestinian scarf. The kaffiyeh has been worn by many terrorist and Yasser Arafat in beheading videos.

I personally would not have connected the two. However, scarves that resemble the kaffiyeh are becoming popular by people in America who do not like America. Fashion stylists actually make this kaffiyeh type like scarf for people to wear! Many celebrities and left-wingers are wearing this scarf. Yes, that is fine to wear anything you want. I believe in more freedoms. It is just odd that people want to wear something that symbolizes other people that want to kill them. To wear something that is against freedom and against America could at one time be seen as treason.

This Dunkin Donuts’ ad has created quite a stir in the blogosphere and so yesterday it was removed. Dunkin Donuts said that the scarf of course had no intended meaning. I am glad to see the ad pulled. I had no clue about such scarves and will make sure I do not wear such a scarf. I am proud that the Dunkin Donuts company honors American by taking down the ad.
