Why shouldn't people be upset by the support for terrorism? If left-wing nut jobs are trying to deny symbolism in items that have clearly gained symbolic status for violent terrorism, they are being deliberately obtuse or truly are naive. Not all liberals support terrorism, though it's getting harder and harder to distinguish between liberals and terrorists. Stop supporting murderers. This is as much a fashion statement as wearing a swatstika.

No one still understands the symbolizm related to the scarf. Dr. Ghada Karmi an established novelist and palestinian activist sometimes wears the scarf. It is a tribute to the extermination of palestine while the world looks on ineffectually as told by Dr. Karmi. People need to seriously read up on Palestinian occupation before making assumptions and presumming that it is solely about terrorism. Yes Yasser Arafat was considered a terrorist as I am partially Lebanese I remember vividally the Palestinian invasion of Lebanon but he was also trying to establish a Palestinian State which will obviously never happen thanks to the worlds ignorance and lack of comprehension towards the middle east in general. READ UP PEOPLE!

If I wear COMMIE CHIC (hammer & sickle earring, Lenin t-shirt), that's cool. If I unintentionally wear a design even remotely similar to a swastika or the Confederate battle flag, I'm insensitive and disrespectful, or perhaps even engaging in hate speech. Malkin is only doing what the Left has been doing for decades, and what McCarthyites did before the Left: political correctness run amok. Since commie chic continues to be allowed by cultural norms, Malkin's ridiculousness has a long way to go to resist Leftist cultural hegemony.

How long have these scarves been around? I think a little bit longer than this terrorism ordeal from 9-11... learn when to keep your mouth shut.
