On the vaguely islamic theme, anyone else recall the fuss from 10 or so years ago about some clothing stores selling Arafat/Hamas-style keffeyahs under the cringingly ironic name "peace scarf"?
I think here in the UK, Primark sold them for a while, with their marketing aimed primarily at youngsters. The press soon dubbed them "terrorist chic for kids" and the retailers initially renamed them to "Euro scarves" and then pulled them completely.
Guess the Press had forgotten that Yasser Arafat shared the Nobel Peace Prize with Yitzhak Rabin & Shimon Peres in 1994.
