I just couldn't help picturing the Scarf on Pelosi!!
The mental image just won't go away now......
You guys are kidding, right? it's a PLAID scarf, for goodness sake.

...then it's probably a coincidence. He's been wrong about everything for years now, and his embarrassing articles on Conrad Black prove that he will say anything, very eloquently, if the cheque is big enough.
I have to agree with pk on this one: the kaffiyeh is a traditional Arab headdress which means some terrorists have worn it. It doesn't mean all Arabs are terrorists.
Socrates logic 101.
"You guys are kidding, right? "
No I actually cannot get the picture of Pelosi wearing the scarf out of my head!
As for it being "just a scarf" .... the intent of the marketers was very plain from the outset!
It is being marketed as a SYMBOL of support for the criminals of the Levant!

Whatever their original intent, they've now dropped the item from their online catalogue. Apparently it got a little hot under the 'scarf'...

2) What Pelosi wore on her head is the traditional pre-hijab woman's scarf. It has nothing to do with either a keffiyeh or this thing.
3) How does a link to Wikipedia's History of the Levant clarify this?
