A kaffiyeh is a common simple scarf, worn by people throughout the middle east and south asia. You can buy them at any street market, and they're typically happy to see foreigners interested in their culture if you get one.
Saying a kaffiyeh is a terrorist symbol is like saying baseball caps are a gang symbol.
It's common to see photos of US soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan wearing them, so why are people so outraged when Rachel Ray does it?
Just another example of anti-Islamic/anti-Arab bigotry?
If there was a newspaper article that said a yarmulke was a symbol of Jewish extremism, there would be mass outrage - so why is this somehow more acceptable?
