billvon 3,133 #2 May 30, 2008 It's not a scarf. It's a scary terrorist headdress, and it makes me think there might be one under my bed RIGHT NOW! Someone, please, make it stop! Why is Dunkin Donuts siding with the terrorists? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is the mainstreaming of violence, unintentional or not, that matters. Ignorance is no longer an excuse. In post-9/11 America, vigilance must never go out of style - even when it means dictating what silly hats people must wear or not wear to show their patriotism. Won't someone show some sensitivity to the concerns of Americans opposed to Islamic jihad and its apologists? Dunkin Donuts is all too eager to bend over backward in the direction of anti-American political correctness. If women feel free to wear whatever they choose on their heads, the terrorists have already won. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Umm...that seems so backwards....or too American for the terrorists to be winning. lol. I guess it's the little battles that matter in the big scheme of things...or something. linz-- A conservative is just a liberal who's been mugged.

SpeedRacer 1 #11 May 30, 2008 If you read the linked Malkin article you get this excerpt: QuoteIt's refreshing to see an American company show sensitivity to the concerns of Americans opposed to Islamic jihad and its apologists. Too many of them bend over backward in the direction of anti-American political correctness. Naturally, liberal commentators on the Internet are now up in arms over Dunkin' Donuts' decision to yank the ad and mock anyone who expresses concern over the keffiyeh's symbolism. What Malkin fails to understand is that she is the one getting offended over something that is politically incorrect. How the hell can she not see the hypocrisy? The scarf is a trivial thing that some people are blowing out of proportion in order to get offended. Isn't that the very definition of whiny political correctness???

Wait until you come home one day and find your entire family slaughtered by one of these scarves. What do you care about more - a scarf or your family? Some America-hating (and family-hating) liberals here would probably pick the scarf. To them I say - America! Hate scarves or leave it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And any religious symbol other than a cross; everyone knows non-christian religious extremists are the cause of most of our problems. And, of course, big hats. And fertilizer, lest someone make a bomb. And model rocket engines, of course. And guns. And . . . Wait a minute - what am I saying? Scarves are deadly, but guns cannot possibly be. My bad.

Lindsey 0 #20 May 30, 2008 I think that tolerating any foreigners on American soil is indirectly supporting terrorists. After all, foreigners have become increasingly critical of American foreign policy, and many show a degree of sympathy for Muslims while questioning Christian religious authority, which America was after all founded on. We cannot be too vigilant....or suspicious of our neighbors and friends. linz-- A conservative is just a liberal who's been mugged.
