re: #95 nonsense

The only reason I could see them being at a “Rally for Sanity” is to speak against the flagrant muslim-hate as of late and that those who wore them don’t understand it’s been used as an anti-Israel item. But really, isn’t it just a normal run-of-the-mill garment for muslims?

It’s a specifically Arab thing, and in a political context it has some very specific connotations.

Like I said, I don’t mind them. Worn by Arab men on their heads.

Back in the day, middle-aged well-travelled Jewish women used to bring them back from Israel and wear them like scarves, usually with Guatemalan earrings. Nowadays, it means something more specifically political.
