Dunkin Donuts' Terrorism Woes

Honestly, I'm amazed they didn't fire her as a spokeswoman after news outlets reported that she had demanded Starbucks coffee while on a Dunkin commercial set.

OK, call me naive - I did not know FOX owns B'net. As Dave Letterman used to say, "Things, that make you go 'hmmmmm'".

It is just a scarf used by millions of people. I have one myself, bought on the streets of Jerusalem. I like it because it is cotton and makes any number of layers for keeping warm. To make it something more is to pee in the pool. Lazy, pointless, and selfish. Any "journalist" who makes it something more is a fool simply trying to make a name for themselves. Would this same synapse-free nudnick make an issue of all the kids who wear towels on their heads for Christmas Pageants? Are they also supporting terrorists? No, and actually the nerf-herder making the comment is actually more of the problem. Their ignorance is spread like algae on a pond - choking out life and polluting the community.

Since when do people believe anything a commentator on Fox News says?

Ever since they reported as true a fake news story about a Muslim kid in school having a ham put on his plate, I quit believing anything that's said by them.

I can't believe the execs at Dunkin Donuts-- let alone anyone with a brain-- would be so Islamophobic that they would coil in terror at a scarf.

It's time to turn off the Fox channel for good.

blessed be,

I won't be visiting Dunkin Donuts anymore because of their condoning Islamaphobic and anti-Arab views. I would suggest others who don't want more cultural censorship to also boycott Dunkin Donuts until they apologize and repent for their ignorant actions.

Frankly I am glad they pulled the ad. The scarf was ugly. And I am about sick of Rachel Ray.

Dunkin Donuts, should have stuck with their ad but hey, I'm a big boy and will still go there. They have great coffee.

Those of us in the world who find either item offensive, the scarf OR Dunkin' pulling the ad really should worry about important things.

WELL, I'VE HEARD EVERYTHING NOW. I LIVE IN SOUTHEAST ASIA, AND IN A CITY WHICH IS NEARLY 90% MUSLIM.

THIS IS SIMPLY ATTROCIOUS, AS WELL AS HILARIOUS.

I DID NOT THINK I'D LIVE LONG ENOUGH TO WITNESS SUCH HYPOCRISY, ON BOTH SIDES OF THE PROVERBIAL COIN.

NOW, I SHOULD TELL YOU THAT HERE, IN JAKARTA, THERE ARE SIMPLY COUNTLESS DUNKIN' DONUTS FRANCHISES, WITH COUNTLESS GOOD LITTLE MUSLIM BOYS AND GIRLS, (OKAY, MEN AND WOMAN. LET ME BE FULLY COMPLIANT WITH ALL P.C. FOLKS' DEMANDS, SO I TOO, AM NOT IN NEED OF CENSORSHIP).

YOU SHOULD JUST see THE NUMBER OF WOMEN WEARING JILBABS (TRADITIONAL MUSLIM HEADGEAR, BOTH THE "FASHIONABLE" AS WELL AS THE "SUPREMELY UGLY" VARIETY)HERE, EATING DONUTS AND DRINKING COFFEE, WITH THEIR KIDS.

GUESS THEY DID NOT EVEN HEAR OF THIS ABOMINABLE SITUATION.

I HAD NO IDEA THAT BELIEFNET CAME UNDER THE 'UMBRELLA' OF GOOD OLD CONSERVATIVE FOX.

WHAT A HEAD TRIP THIS IS. ANYWAY, I DIGRESS.

I HAVE GOT TO SAY THAT I AM ALL FOR FREEDOM TO WEAR WHATEVER ONE WISHES, AND THAT INCLUDES THE RIGHT (FOR EXAMPLE) OF NUNS TO BE "MAINSTREAM" DRESSERS, AS WELL AS TO DEMAND THE PREROGATIVE TO WEAR CAPES AND VEILS.

THAT BRINGS ME TO A MOOT POINT. IF, SAY, A NUN IN TRADITIONAL RELIGIOUS GEAR WERE TO HAVE BEEN FILMED, WOULD THAT MEAN THAT DUNKIN' DONUTS SUPPORTED THE IRA???

WELL, YOU CAN SEE MY PERSPECTIVE ON ALL THIS.

I AM MUSLIM (TA-DAAAH! AND -- WAIT FOR IT -- AN AMERICAN, TO BOOT!)AND I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT A) PEOPLE PROTESTED WITH RESPECT TO RACHEL RAY'S LITTLE PRE-CHOSEN SCARF, NOR THAT B) DUNKIN' DONUTS, BUSY FEEDING MANY OF THE WORLD'S MUSLIM POPULATION (AS DOES KENTUCKY FRIED CHICKEN, BURGER KING, MC DONALD'S, AND OTHER HUGE CONGLOMERATES, NOT FORGETTING KRISPY KREME ) WAS SO WEAK IN ITS KNEE-JERK REACTION, THAT IT FELT COMPELLED TO PULL THE ADVERTISMENT FROM THE PUBLIC'S MIDDLE-CLASS MINDS.

I AM FED UP WITH IT ALL.

CARE TO JOIN ME IN THIS SENTIMENT??

You know what, even if it WAS a "keffiyeh", SO WHAT?! And so what if Rachel even decided to wear it in traditional MUSLIM style, someday! Would that make her a "terrorist"??

Whatever happened to "freedom of religion" in this country??

Or for that matter, how about just "freedom of expression", period??

Seems like we're all expected to be a bunch of "conformists" now.

These people, who want to deny a person the right to even wear a SCARF, or to practice a certain religion, for that matter, do NOT represent AMERICAN VALUES! (while they are all the time screaming, that they are the "patriots" & it's the "terrorists" who are trying to "destroy the American way of life"!)

Watching Rachel Ray make some Calzones right now...

(Not exactly "halal", but hey, unlike some people, I'm TOLERANT!)

.....We hold these truths that all men are created equal (and women too) (quid pro quo addendum , its' in small print to match the small minds that would really use this line of thought ) ...unless said men or women look like , people that are just plain evil or ignorant or maybe so different from me that it questions my world view and I cannot have that at all , and only if said evil doing or ignorant people bear no likeness to the majority ethnic group in this country)

this rant unfortuneately is wha I see every day here in middle America , I live near an Airforce base so all the patriotic Bunting and yellow ribbons thought while pretty to look at for me and my children , the meaning seems lost to teh majority of people and are simply lawn decorations to them and to me it tarnishes them. When did patriotism become Xeonphobic , racist fanaticism here in this country ? when did it get so bad that I cannot turn on my tv and see it played and volleyd so openly by hypocrites that say its thier right to free speech (hate mongering , fear mongering is free speech --- yeah it is ) but then those same people look to cry outrage when someone innocently wears a scarf , that looks like something that a person from a part of the world would wear (and it's not a religious symbol) My (deity name insert here) people its a scarf , a scarf I choose to wear when I was in service of my country in places where the sand and dust crawled into your lungs and eyes every second trying to blind you or choke you (and I am glad I had it)

--End Rant--

I live in Africa and belive the biggest threat to the US and world peace are the hate mongers in America. What happened to the Lincoln America!
