    Fear the Scarf! If it’s got a checkerboard pattern, it must be a keffiyeh, and those are bad for some reason. Just ask Dunkin Donuts:

    Does Dunkin’ Donuts really think its customers could mistake Rachael Ray for a terrorist sympathizer? The Canton-based company has abruptly canceled an ad in which the domestic diva wears a scarf that looks like a keffiyeh, a traditional headdress worn by Arab men.

    Some observers, including ultra-conservative Fox News commentator Michelle Malkin, were so incensed by the ad that there was even talk of a Dunkin’ Donuts boycott.

    ‘‘The keffiyeh, for the clueless, is the traditional scarf of Arab men that has come to symbolize murderous Palestinian jihad,’’ Malkin yowls in her syndicated column.
    [...]
    For her part, Malkin was pleased with Dunkin’s response: ‘‘It’s refreshing to see an American company show sensitivity to the concerns of Americans opposed to Islamic jihad and its apologists.’’

    We need to come up with a term to describe people like Malkin, Pipes, Sclussel, etc. Well, a term besides JAFI, I mean.

    Jafi has such a ring to it though.

    I think Utterly Stupid Cretinous Bastards is to the point.
