Disappearing Kufiyas: Urban Outfitters Discontinues its "Antiwar Woven Scarf"

Protests, apparently, have resulted in Urban Outfitters decision to discontinue marketing kufiyas in its early spring catalog (see post below). The formerly featured item has disappeared completely, the only trace an apology from UO to anyone who might have been offended by it. The action is reported by Philip Weiss, who implies that people like Abe Foxman of the ADL might be responsible for the protests.

I just checked, and the apology is missing.
