See this? You *are* capable of rationality. This is why I so mock you irrational behavior and statements.
You know, there are other ways of emphasising words.

So because the scarf has migrated, due to use in common fashion, from being a statement to being just an acessory, it has lost sufficient of its original meaning to warrant free use?
It is a scarf, to keep you warm. I don't have to pass some terrorist exam to get one. What it symbolizes is of course in the minds of people, independent what it is. The majority of people was oblivious to the scarf or it's meaning, Michelle wasn't. Fine for her. But since when was it her principle to make the majority bow to the minorities whim? She just made an ass of herself.

blog: TDD - the Aha! | Linkify!| FoldWithUs! | sighistLook at its usage in that rap video you linked to. It use there is offensive, as it is designed to be. How can you not see that and call it just a scarf? It is NOT natural atire for a westerner. The only reason it IS worn is as a political statement. That scarf is a symbol of death. Terrorist death. Beheading with a knife kind of death. Stoning death. Nasty, grim stuff.

No, Idiot, you wrote something ... an entire post ... which was rational and in which your points logically followed. edit: Refusing to see reality[^] is not rational. And your reaction to my response to that post was even worse.

You really have lost it, haven't you? I could do your entire rap on any prop in the ad. You might as well start claiming that every man who has a beard is a terrorist sympathizer. Or every muslim woman who wears a burka is expressing sympathy for all suicide bombers. Or that every member of the Green Berets is French. What a load of horseshit is dribbling from your lips.

Oh come on. What BS. It's a freakin' scarf! The whole world has gone to hell in a handbasket overreacting to something so fucking trivial. Marc
It used to be just a scarf until Arafat popularised its use and glorified the terrorist sentiments behind it. It is akin to the swastika in that the original meaning of the symbol bore little or no relation to what it came to mean. I agree that it is just a scarf but it has come to represent terrorism when worn by non-arabs. Of course the bizarre side is that it is standard head gear for many in the middle east and its roots go back even further. It is not the scarf that is the problem: it is what it symbolises.

Yes, it was uncalled for ... which is why I responded in kind (*). I accept the apology. And I do not hold grudges. (*) Maybe one of these days the little kiddies who like to whine about what a meanie I am will figure you that I merely give them what they ask for ... after they ask for it.

Any WHITE man who goes for the full Islamic job, yes, I would. Look at Richard Reed for example. A clear example of what you say actually being correct, which, though unintentional, makes a first.

Do you know for sure she doesnt? Any woman in the west wearing a Burkah is clearly showing loyalty to Islam, and no the culture she lives in. Just how far does that loyalty go? Well, heres one who's loyalty clearly goes all the way:a few picks of Burkah clad women in London doing just that: [^]

Don't be ridiculous: we're talking a particular style and type of scarf that is worn quite innocently by many in the middle east but which has come to symbolise something quite different elsewhere. The scarf that woman is wearing probably smells of old person and stale piss. Much like your post.
