A store employee in Australia has gotten in trouble for wearing a kaffiyeh: Keffiyeh kerfuffle hits Bondi bottleshop. More overreacting right-wingers, seeing terrorist symbols where they don’t exist?

As Gates of Vienna launches another diversionary defense of the far-right Vlaams Belang, this time denying that there’s any significance at all to the numerous white power symbols (especially the Odin’s Cross) we’ve discovered in VB youth magazines, on their web sites, and even on Filip DeWinter’s bookshelf—have a look ...

Hmm. Neo-Nazis toning down the rhetoric and getting rid of hate symbols, to appear more palatable to the masses. Why does that sound so familiar? Anti-Semitic church drops Nazi symbols.
