Yet Another Kuffiyeh Spotting

Everlast - though it's no big surprise, as I think he's competing with Arafat for most consecutive days worn. By the New Year he’ll hold the world record. Pretty descent song though: Letters Home from the Garden of Stone


For the record, I’ve stopped wearing the kuffiyeh altogether. I can’t risk being associated with the activists and hipsters (and active-hipsters) wearing it all wrong. Don’t worry though, I’ll start re-rocking after it goes out of style. For now, I’d rather freeze...

Wear the kiffiyeh with Marwan Barghouti on it giving the victory sign. I'm sure the hipsters don't have that one. Wear it on your head and drop Arabic phrases all the time. Scare the shit of people.

Marwan is a putz.

it should be noted that Everlast is a muslim and that his donning of the kuffiyeh is probably more enlightened that the Hot Topic wannabes

Ali is right, he converted to Islam in the late 90's. His website also seems to be very arab/muslim friendly. http://martyr-inc.com/

and yes he is wearing a kuffiyah

Since when does Muslim = ok to wear the qufiya? It surely isn't an islamic thing.
