Fashion Faux Pas or Terrorist Sympathizer? Rachael Ray Under Fire

Dunkin’ Donuts, worried that its customers might think so, abruptly yanked an ad in which Ray wears a scarf that resembles a keffiyeh — a traditional headdress worn by Arab men — after conservative commentators became enraged by the ad and even threatened to boycott the company.

Don’t worry though handy Rachel Ray will still be in other Dunkin Dounts commerials, since she did sign on in March to be the pitchwoman.

The controversial ad came about when it appeared earlier this month on the doughnut chain’s Web site to promote its iced coffee. The ad came under fire or should I says nuclear bombs, nearly two weeks ago when pro-Jewish blogger Pam Geller posted it under the headline “Rachel [sic] Ray: Dunkin Donuts Jihad Tool.”

“Have you seen Rachel [sic] Ray wearing the icon of Yasser Arafatbastard and the bloody Islamic jihad,” Geller wrote. “This is part of the cultural jihad.”

This is just ridiculous, now people can not even wear scarves they like because it might resemble something religious and may cause a problem. We can’t do  anything anymore without someone breathign down our necks ever five seconds. I mean you can find tons of scraves that are very similar to a Kaffiyeh, at Urban Outfiter’s. When will the madness end?
