Who would think uber-perky Food Network queen/cookbook maven/talk show host Rachael Ray would be involved in controversy? Rachael Ray sports a scarf in a recent Dunkin Donuts commercial that bears some similarity to a keffiyeh, a headdress worn by Arab men — and what do you know? Dunkin Donuts is pulling the commercial as a result.

Michelle Malkin of Fox News explained, “The keffiyeh, for the clueless, is the traditional scarf of Arab men that has come to symbolize murderous Palestinian jihad. Popularized by Yasser Arafat and a regular adornment of Muslim terrorists appearing in beheading and hostage-taking videos, the apparel has been mainstreamed by both ignorant and not-so-ignorant fashion designers, celebrities, and left-wing icons.”

Dunkin’ Donuts released this statement about pulling the racy Rachael Ray scarf ad: “In a recent online ad, Rachael Ray is wearing a black-and-white silk scarf with a paisley design. It was selected by her stylist for the advertising shoot. Absolutely no symbolism was intended. However, given the possibility of misperception, we are no longer using the commercial.”
