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.
