Delias.com 'Peace Scarf' Becomes 'Euro Scarf'

Thu, Jul 19, 2007 at 11:31:29 am PDT

Delias.com’s online clothing store for teenage girls has responded to complaints about the Palestinian terrorist symbol, the kaffiyeh, appearing in their catalog as a “Peace Scarf.” Several LGF readers forwarded their form mail:

Dear dELiA*s Customer,

Thank you for your e-mail and concern regarding the scarf featured. We apologize that this item has offended anyone; this was not our intention. Please be assured that our company did not intend to imply any support for terrorism.

The name given to this item was originally suggested by our vendor and will be changed online immediately and in future catalogs. We continue to carefully reviewing each concern we receive.

Thank you,
dELiA*s Customer Service

They’re still going to sell it; they’re just changing the name.

To: Euro Scarf.

Of course I imagine when it is brought to their attention that such bands were worn by the Nazi's they will immediately apologize and change the name to ehhhh dillian band.

It truly amazes me the self induced dream of suicide these useful idiots have. Do they really not realize that a world run by the Radical Islamist would be a world were they would be the first people drug into the street for stoning?

The kaffiyeh is even more revolting to see on young people than the Hugo Chavez T-shirts. It makes one ill, whereas the Evil Mr. Potatohead shirts are farcical examples of leftist support for socialist authoritarianism.

re: #9 theheat

David Beckham wears them, too.

How long ago was that UK movie with Parminder Nagra made. "Bend it Like Beckham". I'd guess close to ten years ago now. So he was at the peak of his skill and popularity then.


So, by definition, he is over the hill. So the Euro wanna-bes, ie, soccer, er 'football' fans, who follow US teams with senseless Euro style names like "FC Chelsea" and "Real Salt Lake" (Real being Spanish for "royal", as if the head of the US constitutional monarchy sat on his thrown there), have a washed up Euro soccer player, to draw them to the stands.


I'm sorry. I tried to watch soccer back when the US hosted the world cup. OK, maybe because I'm a crass uncultured American who likes American football and NASCAR. (I'd like F-1, the Euro high dollar open wheel racing, better, if they went back to slick tires for grip, so top tier cars could pass each other while racing, such that the entire race ins't the dash to the first turn, unless the leader goes off course, has a horrible pit stop, or suffers mechanical failure. Oh, and if Bernie Ecclestone would retire or die). But soccer is boring. Tedious. No wonder Latin American and UK 'football' fans get drunk and riot.


Besides, hockey combines all the good elements of soccer, but compresses the action, and adds speed. And has French Canadians who fight sometimes.


Just my expert opinion.

I first was introduced to the "Keffiyeh" back in the late 1960's when the media was fawning over Fatah and the PFLP with photo displays in Life Magazine, Newsweek, and Time of these guys with their heads covered in these dopey looking diapers. later PLO terrorist Leila Khaled when she was turned over by the Israelis to the British after a failed El Al hijacking in September 1970 (Black September) made it trendy for all the "beautiful" people in London with photos of her carrying an AK-47 with a keffiyeh around her neck.

#58: What about the Tony Blair scarf? He's always loved the Palestinians.

Tony Blair's domestic legacy: corruption and the erosion of liberty - by Theodore Dalrymple

He knew exactly what to say of Princess Diana when she died in a car accident, for example: that she was "the people's princess." He sensed acutely that the times were not so much democratic as demotic: that economic egalitarianism having suffered a decisive defeat both in theory and practice, the only mass appeal left to a politician calling himself radical was to cultural egalitarianism.

Blair was the perfect politician for an age of short attention spans. What he said on one day had no necessary connection with what he said on the following day: and if someone pointed out the contradiction, he would use his favorite phrase, "It's time to move on," as if detecting contradictions in what he said were some kind of curious psychological symptom in the person detecting them. Many have surmised that there was an essential flaw in Mr. Blair's makeup that turned him gradually from the most popular to the most unpopular prime minister of recent history. The problem is to name that essential flaw. As a psychiatrist, I found this problem peculiarly irritating (bearing in mind that it is always highly speculative to make a diagnosis at a distance). But finally, a possible solution arrived in a flash of illumination. Mr. Blair suffered from a condition previously unknown to me: delusions of honesty.

Tony Blair's most alarming characteristic, however, has been his enmity to freedom in his own country, whatever his feelings about it in other countries. No British prime minister in 200 years has done more to curtail civil liberties than has Mr. Blair. Starting with an assumption of his infinite beneficence, he assumed infinite responsibility, with the result that Britain has become a country with a degree of official surveillance that would make a Latin American military dictator envious.

The government has admitted that criminal gangs have already forged the U.K.'s new high-tech passports. The only people, then, whom the process will trouble are the people who need no surveillance. No sensible person denies the danger of Islamic extremism in Britain; but just as the fact that the typical Briton finds himself recorded by security cameras 300 times a day does not secure him in the slightest from crime or antisocial behavior, which remain prevalent in Britain, so no one feels any safer from the terrorist threat despite the ever-increasing government surveillance.

Mr. Blair similarly showed no respect for precedent and gradual reform by Parliament itself, which--in the absence of an American-style written constitution--have been the nation's guiding principles. By decree, he made the civil service answerable to unelected political allies, for the first time in history; he devoted far less attention to Parliament than did any previous prime minister; the vast majority of legislation under his premiership (amounting to a blizzard so great that lawyers cannot keep up with it) passed without effective parliamentary oversight, in effect by decree; one new criminal offense was created every day except Sundays for 10 years, 60% of them by such decree, ranging from the selling of gray squirrels and Japanese bindweed to failure to nominate someone to turn off your house alarm if it triggers while you are out; he abolished the independence of the House of Lords, the only, and very limited, restraint on the elected government's power.

Mr. Blair, then, is no hero. Many in Britain believe that he has been the worst prime minister in recent British history, morally and possibly financially corrupt, shallow and egotistical, a man who combined the qualities of Elmer Gantry with those of Juan Domingo Peron. America should think twice about taking him to its heart now that he has stepped down.

No, they don't think blowing up pizza parlors and buses is terrorism. They think checkpoints are terrorism.

Very true-ISM- Corrie's group- had an article about how horrible and painful it was that some Palistinians had to wait 30 minutes to get through an Israeli checkpoint and the soldiers wrote notes about some of them. Call out the UN HRC, call out Amnesty.
Gosh, why don't they write about how long I have to wait in a US airport because of Islamic terroists?

Ahmadinejad: It's going to be a 'hot' summer in the ME

It's going to be a "hot" summer in the Middle East, said Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad following a surprise meeting with Hizbullah leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah in Damascus on Thursday evening, Channel 10 reported.

Nasrallah allegedly entered Syria via an underground tunnel, the television channel said.

"We hope that the hot weather of this summer will coincide with similar victories for the region's peoples, and with consequent defeat for the region's enemies," Ahmadinejad added, in an apparent reference to Israel.

During his one-day trip to Damascus, Ahmadinejad held talks with counterpart Bashar Assad which focused on the Iraq situation, Palestinian territories and Lebanon, where both Teheran and Damascus wield influence.

"The enemies of the region should abandon plans to attack the interests of this region, or they would be burned by the wrath of the region's peoples," the hardline Iranian leader said at a joint press conference with Assad.

Extended forecast calls for scattered mushrooms clouds and temperatures in the high thousands.

Totally OT: [Link: www.politico.com...]

What's in your wallet?


What's a paltry one million dollars to a member of Congress?

Well, apparently not enough to know if an organization about to receive that big block of cash actually exists.

Republican Rep. Jeff Flake of Arizona, the fiscal crusader who's never met an earmark he likes, questioned Democratic Rep. Peter J. Visclosky of Indiana on the House floor Tuesday about whether the Center for Instrumented Critical Infrastructure actually exists - since, hey, it's getting like a million bucks or something.

Visclosky, who chairs the spending subcommittee responsible for the project, had to admit that, well, he didn't have a clue.

After a lengthy back-and-forth, Flake, complaining that his staff couldn't find a website for the center, asked Visclosky, "Does the center currently exist?"

"At this time, I do not know," the Indiana Democrat replied. "But if it does not exist, the monies could not go to it."

And who could possibly be the sponsor of such an earmark? Yes, you guessed it, the man Republicans love to hate, Pennsylvania Democrat John P. Murtha.

Despite the money's uncertain destination, the House rejected Flake's measure to strike the funds, 326-98. And the Visclosky bill also sailed through, 312-112.

As I said, what's one million dollars to a member of Congress?

UPDATE: I failed to report last night that a certificate filed with the requested funds says the money is actually earmarked to Concurrent Technologies Corporation, a nonprofit technological consulting firm. A brief search of campaign finance records shows CTC President and CEO Daniel R. DeVos, of alternately Central City and Johnstown, Pa. has contributed $7,000 to Murtha's reelection campaign since April 2002.

My response from JetBule re their support of Kos convention:

-------------------------------------------------- --------------------------

Re: email received Monday,07/16/07 7:16 PM, Speak Up 1645551

Thank you for contacting JetBlue with your comment. We have been
surprised and disappointed that the
donation of JetBlue travel (10 tickets total) to a bloggers convention
has been misinterpreted as
support and/or agreement with a politically centered website we have
absolutely no connection with.
As a company we take no stand on any political issues save those
directly related to air
transportation issues.

From my personal perspective the issue is quite straightforward. Our
marketing team made a decision
to donate 10 airline tickets to an annual convention of bloggers.
JetBlue was one of 23 groups to
donate items and thus 'sponsor' the YearlyKos convention. JetBlue will
have no presence at the
conference or any other involvement with the YearlyKos event. We have
NO INVOLVEMENT with DailyKos
or anything said or represented on that website.

Our workforce of roughly 11,000 consists of a huge variety of
backgrounds and belief systems. I was
personally completely unaware of the existence of DailyKos prior to
news connecting the YearlyKos
convention and thus our airline ticket donation to DailyKos. I
personally have never condoned and
abhor anything hateful towards anyone and am fully confident that
JetBlue's crewmembers share this
view.

We certainly hope that the sweeping generalizations connecting JetBlue
to a political stand will be
recognized as exaggeration and with no basis in fact.

How about this Plame case being thrown out. Little more gravity to that story, I think. It just broke, I know, but still... Some idiot on YouTube. Fine, but that's a market thing, isn't it? I don't understand all of the minutia that's reported here while bigger stories, that actually are interesting, have to settle for open threads.

The GOP really better get their act together and rally behind whomever the nominee is. By the way I don;t get why everyone says that Obama is so "articulate".

I think it will be the "ho" ticket also. Remember, though, the pollsters coordinate with them to bandwagon their supporters. The polls were wrong about Kerry, and I don't just mean the exit polls. I think they knew they were wrong. I don't think Democrats win so much as Republicans lose. That is certainly what happened in '06. The Republicans need to make their mind up who their constituents are going to be. If they fall for the media idea that conservatives are "extremists" and in a minority, going for the Hispanic and the mythical middle-of-the-road vote, they will lose again.

The most aggressive moves now need to be made in unifying conservative efforts and impacting the media. I hope the people who can do this are working on it.

When squirrels are outlawed, only outlaws will have squirrels.

re: #401 Jimash

The scarf is a knock-off of one designed 30+ years ago by Danish designer Laise Adzer, who spent a lot of time in this country. She used a wonderful Moroccan cotton/rayon fabric for the most delightful clothes. I have probably a dozen scarves in beautiful colors with the soft fringe on them, but I haven't used them in years (different lifestyle now that I'm a college prof.) This thread prompted me to look up the designer and I found that someone else is making the clothes using Laise's patterns. The black belt in shopping is kicking in!

403 Confuzed  Thu, Jul 19, 2007 2:03:12pm

Now if that scarf were fire-retardant and beheading-proof, I might have to pick one up myself.

The scary thing is that the young folks are the biggest block of Pali supporters around. Companies are obviously marketing to this new niche. I've even seen classrooms in the Vancouver area with Che parephenalia on the wall.

Mosque in cologne... is that anything like the infamous Andres Serrano "art"? Doubtful that all the cologne in the world could remove the dhimmicidal stench of what's regularly taught in a mosque, though.

Bomb Delias HQ.
Let em get a feel for what they are supporting.

Now that is gonna get taken out of context somewhere.

Well that is what we are talking about isn't it. Them marketing as fashion that particular symbol of the PLO and the carnage they have done?
No. I am not serious. But I don't think Delias Corporate would think it was very artsy if they were the target.
Here is another fashion idea for em.
Black September.
Maybe they can get all the celebs to wear their "peace scarves" at the next Olympics.
THIS is what the Delias wants to promote?

Wouldn't THAT chap their butts. You might want to get the one with the blade repelling factor built in. I suspect you might need it if you were wearing it out. That would be fun though, get one, and have a bunch of us be your bodyguards. I'll volunteer, just for the fun factor of seeing their faces!

You're thinking of the Ministry of Love - for reeducation (and interrogation and torture).

The Ministry of Truth was where Winston Smith worked - for news/propaganda and re-writing history.

Notice that they don't call it the "Arab" scarf, or the "Muslim" scarf, they call it the "Euro" scarf.

While anti-semitism in the Muslim world is full of raw hatred against the Jews, including referring to them as the sons of apes and pigs, and referring to the Jews as the cosmic source of evil, Europe is different. To the elite leftists of Europe who are the carriers of the new anti-semitism, they hate the Jew as a real person willing and capable of defending himself. They hate the state of Israel, because it is the epitome of Jewish self-defense. They don't think that Israel should exist. They hate the living, self-defending Jew from a position of moral superiority.

Yes, they are quite willing and eager to celebrate dead Jews who happened to go to their slaughter like sheep. But a living, self-defending Jew is someone who needs to be boycotted, divested from, urged not to defend himself too much, urged to use his bullets for no more than proportionate response but without collateral damage and without extrajudicial use of bullets so that the war never ends, urged not to use passive defense by putting up a defensive fence, and looked down upon from the moral high ground of supreme dhimmitude and pacifistic submission to radical Islam.

And to these leftist elites in Europe, and those whom they influence, the war against the Jews is something to be celebrated and to be romanticized. Hence the "Euro" scarf.

re: #190 buzzsawmonkey

I was driving behind a car the other day that was absolutely plastered with moonbat bumper stickers--eight or ten at least.

I found myself wishing I had a supply of more patriotic bumper stickers on hand; it would be easy to paste one over a bumper sticker or two if the opportunity presented itself. Probably the owner wouldn't notice for a while, given the pre-existing visual cacophony, which would add to the jest. And since the sticker would be placed atop one already ruining the car's paint, there would be no vandalism involved.

Where I used to live, I frequently had to park next to a moonbat mobile, plastered all over the back with bumper stickers. Besides the obligatory "Mean People Suck!," there were also such lovely sentiments as "Meat is Murder," "The Germans Supported Their Troops Too," "If You Don't Like Abortion, Don't Have One," "Buck Fush!," "Impeachment Now!" and probably a dozen others. Couldn't stand looking at the eyesore.

One morning, as I was getting into my car to go to work, it was parked next to me and I happened to look at the passenger side door and saw where someone (and I swear it wasn't me, but almost wish it had been) had keyed into the paint "BUSH RULEZ!" That made the rest of the my week! I hope it took the moonbat a good long while to discover it.
