Salem is a home of Terrorists!

This article makes me mad.
Do right-wing conservative idiots have nothing better to do than examine the fashions used by every advertisement in America to look for their own racist bigoted gripes? I mean, that’s not an “Islamic Headdress” she’s wearing. Even if it was, Islamic does not mean “Jihad”. And even if it did, Jihad does NOT MEAN TERRORIST.
Not even close. That’s like someone from an Islamic country saying you shouldn’t eat pita bread, because it’s somehow similar to an American Cheeseburger…and since America is full of Christians, and Christians perpetuated the Nazi holocaust, eating Pita is saying you approve of the Holocaust.
I mean, WTF kind of logic is that?
On a side note, I noticed that in the background of the picture attached to that article, is the Oregon capitol building. This was in Salem, Oregon — my hometown.
So what, is now everyone in Salem a terrorist because some woman in an ad wore the “wrong kind” of scarf there? How much more 1984 do we need to get in this country before there is any fucking outcry about it?
