While wearing my bought in Africa, black and white checked keffiyah, traditionally associated with the PLO, in Morocco I was almost kidnapped. True story.
Now I have a somewhat more fashion oriented keffiyah bought from the Arab American Museum. (who knew such a thing existed?) This one is black and green and while nothing funny has happened while wearing it, it is too new yet, my receipt is the definition of ironic humor. Look closely and following "thank you for your support" is a very un-Islamic "Merry Christmas".
I am sure this is only getting me closer and closer to the no-fly list. Going to Muslim run countries multiple times, having a degree with radiation, working in Iraq and Kuwait, visiting jihadi websites in Arabic and ordering propaganda items that get shipped to my house from place like say oh.... Iran.
Sun Tzu said it best, "To know your enemy, you must become your enemy."
Or in other words, if I see you wearing one with skulls, a pink one, or one bought at like Urban Outfitters, don't be surprised if you get a look of disdain or I question your street cred.
