    You may have heard about the "not a costume, it's a culture" shit, probably because it's useless bawwwing and many waaambulances have been called because of it. But then look at this poster, now maybe it's just me, but isn't saying that "towelhead suicide bomber" is a culture even more offensive than dressing up as a towelhead suicide bomber?

      The poster is saying the opposite. It is saying it is a costume, and that Islam is the culture.

        It was probably meant that way, but that's not what I get from it.

              very very true. but towelhead suicide bomber == towelhead suicide bomber though, regardless of race. Just sayin.

              Let's face it, after Monday and Tuesday, even the calendar says WTF! Be careful which toes you step on today, they might be connected to the foot that kicks your butt tomorrow. You can't scare me, I have children.

                Back in the 80s, you didn't need the towel. Just a red wig. :laugh:

                  You shouldn't call them "towelheads" - it's not a towel they are wearing, it's actually a sheet. So they prefer to be called "sheet heads"...
