"Anti-War" Terrorist Scarf Removed by Urban Outfitters

Tue, Jan 16, 2007 at 8:59:05 am PST

Urban Outfitters has removed the Palestinian kaffiyeh (ludicrously labeled an “anti-war scarf”) from their catalog: Anti-War Woven Scarf. (Hat tip: littleoldlady.)

They also removed the picture of the kaffiyeh-wearing slacker from their Accessories catalog cover: Men’s Accessories.

If they do care to hold an opinion on politics, it'll be an affected, carefully studied opinion for sure. And they are the ones I hear lamenting how little "Americans (spoken as if this was a group separate from them) know about the rest of the world."

I submit to you that it is these people who are ignorant about the rest of the world.

Olmert faces criminal probe over bank deal


JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israel's state prosecutor on Tuesday ordered a criminal investigation into Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's role in the 2005 privatization of an Israeli bank, the Justice Ministry said in a statement.

"The decision to open a criminal investigation was taken by the state prosecutor," the statement said.

Temps here in HOU have actually climbed slightly, to about 2º, and radar trends and computer model forecasts suggest heavier rain/sleet and snow will stay North and West, mainly between San Antonio and Waco on the I-35 corridor.


To copme so close to our once a decade winter weather event, and then maybe get 2 or 3 sleet pellets or drizzle/freezing drizzle that is so light it sublimates before forming an ice accumulation, that is a real Philips screwdriver driven into my shoulder and twisted.

One beheaded, two killed in Thai Muslim south

Sat Jan 13, 11:57 PM ET


YALA, Thailand (Reuters) - Suspected Muslim militants beheaded a Buddhist man and shot dead two civilians in southern Thailand on Sunday as an uprising shows no signs of abating.

ADVERTISEMENT

The head of the 40-year-old farmer was found next to his body and that of his 35-year-old wife at the entrance of their rubber plantation in Yala province, police said.

Both had been shot and a handwritten note next to the bodies said, "We shall kill all Thai Buddhists," they said.

But is this really what our country needs right now?

Obama, who if elected would become the first black president in the United States, said he never expected a year ago that he would be in the position he is now. But after being on the road promoting his book and campaigning on behalf of other Democrats in the run-up to the Nov. 7 election last year, he was "struck by how hungry we all are for a different kind of politics."


Where I don't care that he'd be the 'first black president' (if qualified, he can be purple), Do we need such a green candidate to run this country? 'We need a new direction' hasn't outlived it's 15 minutes of fame yet?

Pusillanimous Pace

Anyone who still labors under the delusion that U.S. colleges, particularly in New York, are free-speech havens should gaze at the adjacent letter by Pace University's President David Caputo.

Caputo tries to portray Pace officials as honest brokers in dealings with a Jewish group, Hillel, which had hoped to show a film some Muslims find objectionable.

Yet, right from the start, the letter resorts to distortion: It claims that Hillel's president "misconstrued the intentions" of Pace officials. Administrators, it says, merely wanted the Jewish group to "engage in a constructive dialogue" with Muslim students.

But Hillel President Michael Abdurakhmanov says school staffers actually threatened him with reprisals and even physically restrained him when he tried to defend the film. How do you "misconstrue" that kind of behavior?

In any event, if the school were truly committed to freedom of expression, the only "dialogue" needed would be to convey one simple message: Anyone thinking of disrupting the film or committing violence will face severe repercussions.

End of discussion.

Actually, that's not the end of it. Read the rest.

Google Earth map marks Temple Mount Palestinian

Indeed, Abu Nasser, second-in-command of the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades terror group, said he was "thrilled" by Google Earth's depictions.

"Congratulations to Google Earth," Abu Nasser told WND.

"We congratulate Google and the American people in making this very important change in the Middle East. The Al Aqsa Mosque (located on the Temple Mount) is part of Jerusalem, and Jerusalem is part of Palestine. If such a big institution like Google corrected these historical mistakes on maps, maybe we can bring about a change in the depictions of Palestine by the American media, which is controlled by the Zionists."

According to Abu Nasser, whose terror group says it is trying to liberate the Al Aqsa Mosque, the Jewish Temple "never existed."

"At least not on the area Jews now call the Temple Mount.," he said. "Maybe a Temple existed somewhere, but not in Jerusalem. The Temple Mount exists only in the imaginations of the Jews and Americans."

Gitmo's Good Work

Good luck finding this reported in the drive-by media. Excerpt from theend of the piece:

Why even bother to interrogate these guys? "Because they tell us of things that have enormous strategic value," says Rester. Background on al Qaeda recruiting, training, money-laundering, bogus front charities, bomb-making, sleeper-cell placement, types of operations, organizational long-term goals and objectives, and details of leadership personalities all come from Guantanamo interrogations.

Investigators such as the vaunted 9/11 Commission complain vociferously of a lack of available human-intelligence sources. "Guantanamo is the single largest repository of terrorist, al Qaeda HUMINT on the planet," Rester observed. "And we are still mining it."

In short, Gitmo keeps behind bars bad guys who would inflict terrible pain on America and our friends. From these same men, it gets vital information that has had and continues to have a major positive effect on prosecution of the war - information that has broken up operative cells in America and Europe, stifled recruiting, intercepted money trails and set the terrorists back on their heels.

If that is the sum of five years' work, then well done, Guantanamo, well done indeed.

"If you are voting against Mr. Obama because of his name, I don't want your vote.

"If you are voting against Mr. Obama because of his skim color, I don't want your vote.

"But if you disagree with the positions Mr. Obama has taken, and are concerned by the number of positions he has neglected to take, then I want you to take a good look at my clear positions and my experience, and I humbly ask for your vote."

I sometimes get this serious streak in me. I've tried to gouge it out of my gray matter but, it keeps on coming back.

AFTER TODAY'S SAN ANTONIO/SAN MARCOS/AUSTIN SCHOOL & INAUGURATION PARADE CANCELLING ICE STORM, COULD A FOOT OF SNOW, OR OVER AN INCH LIQUID EQUIVALENT ICE SATURDAY & SUNDAY IN DALLAS CANCEL SCHOOL MONDAY?


While Houston gets screwed with just a few sprinkles or sleet pellets, even as trees and pwerlines should start snapping this afternoon in Austin and San Antonio, and the party college town of San Marcos, there is good news on the horizon for Dallas, as the 12Z GFS says a reinforcement of sub-freezing air may arrive just in time this weekend for one inch (25 mm) liquid equivalent to fall. Again, temps will be critical, will this be a St. Louis or Montreal style ice storm disaster, a foot of snow, or just a cold rain. Too soon to tell for certain.

12Z GFS loop Only fly in GFS ointment, low may stay just a tad too far East Friday off the East Coast, meaning what could have been a rocking snow storm may just be an inch or two, what I call cosmetic snow.

Canadian similar. Although snow/ice ends Sunday, may be sufficient carnage to cancel school for DFW area youngsters Monday.

CMC storm total precip during that period is forecast at 20 to 30 cm, which is probably wrong, but wouldn't 100 inches of snow (2500mm) or 10 inches of ice, which would snap every tree, power transmisison tower, telephone pole, radio tower and microwave/cell phone tower in the Metroplex be amazing?

On what basis would an investigation into their finances be warranted? There is no credible basis for a belief that they supported anything illegal. Bad taste is not a crime.

I don't think this is bad taste. These are full-bore moonbats who have decided on their own they answer to some "higher law."

Show me some pro-Israel apparel on UO and I'll eat the crow.

Send those who wanted that stuff over here for something more accurate.

It's not that Urban Outfitters didn't know the potential offensiveness of the terrorist scarf. It's not that they necessarily sympathize with its implications. They just don't care. They know their market: idiot college kids (or just out of college). I remember when I lived in Philadelphia and saw their main store. It was pretty clear what the scam was. They sold really expensive crap. Stuff you could buy in Chinatown for $2, they were palming off for $7. Clothes that were roughly comparable to what you could find at your local Goodwill were selling for $50. And ethics were never much of a concern. They took heat in 2003 for putting out a knock-off Monopoly called Ghettopoly. You can guess the tenor. But they've managed to convince a particular market segment that their products are "kewl". The terrorist scarf is just the latest incarnation of their marketing of hipsterism.

A not small victory for the lizardoid minions against creeping cultural appeasement. Thank you Charles and all who shot off an email to the Urban Outhouse.

108 mean Gene  Tue, Jan 16, 2007 10:22:28am

I guess I won't be getting that persona response with 24 hours now, will I?

I am so glad this travesty was snuffed out before ignorant lefty-kinder could be photo-opted for the pali's.

RIP bobby and Benny.....it's all hollywood drivers now.except for Tony and a few others

Maybe retailers will now think twice about this. I just can't wait to her the moonabts reaction.

I read the article about these scarves earlier, and noted to myself that I hadn't seen any around here in Texas. Today at lunch on campus, there it was on a girl who probably had no clue what it stands for!

114 Ghost of a flea  Tue, Jan 16, 2007 2:34:24pm

This is a step in the right direction. But I am still going to take my camera with me to the Urban Outfitters on Yonge St. in Toronto and make damn sure these things are not still for sale in store.

115 byzantium  Tue, Jan 16, 2007 5:33:04pm

I will check out the 14th street and mid town UO locations tomorrow.

I suppose Kaffiers will now be sold with extra self-pitying rebel cachet, through ISM & co websites with "Too hot for UO", or "as banned by LGF far right racists blah blah blah". labels. Or Kaffirs: Now with TWICE the alienation!

Better that than see it go unchallenged. Good work lizoids.

116 itellu3times  Tue, Jan 16, 2007 5:35:11pm

While we congratulate ourselves, let's say at least a small thank you to Urban Outfitters.

117 Posted by Post  Tue, Jan 16, 2007 5:51:15pm

For all we know terrorists could be wearing "grillz" under their masks.....

118 shimra  Tue, Jan 16, 2007 8:06:37pm

I wish Urban Outfitters at least had the balls to stick to their pro terror politics. Oops I forgot. They have no politics. They just pander to fashionable college kids who think they're "progressive". BARF.

If only their keffiyahs were still online we could have staged a boycott of some sort. as for me, I wouldn't be caught dead in one of their outfits.

Google Earth map marks Temple Mount Palestinian

Indeed, Abu Nasser, second-in-command of the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades terror group, said he was "thrilled" by Google Earth's depictions.

"Congratulations to Google Earth," Abu Nasser told WND.

I'm about to have a breakdown.

So where are the morons who wear "Che" t-shirts with Mao hats going to get their neckwear?

121 RC neo-Jew  Wed, Jan 17, 2007 2:48:13am

Well done in getting the terrorist apparel removed.

Can we get rid of this one, too? Another lie carried on t-shirts, mugs and baseball caps:

Jesus was a Palestinian.

Sold at CafePress:

Welcome to our "Jesus for Palestine" store.

Bad taste is not a crime.

Darling, it really should be. Some of the outfits I see-frankly-they should be illegal.

125 wingnutx  Wed, Jan 17, 2007 11:10:47am

I'll still buy and wear a shemagh.

UO 72nd street, manhattan not only is still stocking them, they are the center piece of two displays.

Urban Outfitters UK is selling the same scarf calling it the
"Skull Desert Scarf" which, to be fair, is oddly appropriate.
