you guys should listen to ExEx Blogger – Never attempt to do in the name of Islam anything that involves mimicking the enemys of Islam.

We have the best example to follow.
You are right that All Success is with Allah, Rab ul Alameen. May Allah guide us all upon the Truth and unite us and keep us firm.

Al-’Iraaqi, same here, I was totally confused what’s ‘Kaffiyeh’ I know the Arabic word so when I read this word, thought it’s a food, (now I think about it maybe DD’s competitor)

I guess the one who transliterated the word is non-Arab or Arab speaking non-standard Arabic, ‘Kaffiyeh’ sounds more like Palestinian accent :P

Anyway, I agree with the PR and anti-racism, but I hate kufiyah or whatever you call it. Enough black and white, put some color please.

- Oddly, I find ‘Kaffiyeh’ and poor transliteration of the word from arabic.
- A word that more closely resembles the arabic is Koo-fiyyah. ( كوفية‎)
- You know, some say it comes from ‘Iraaq ie. Koofa.
- So let’s call it ‘kufiyyah’ at least.

The Prophet sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam said:“Whosoever leaves off obedience and separates from the Jamaa’ah and dies, he dies a death of jaahiliyyah. Whoever fights under the banner of the blind, becoming angry for ‘asabiyyah (partisanship and party s pirit), or calling to ‘asabiyyah, or assisting ‘asabiyyah, then dies, he dies a death of jaahiliyyah.” [Sahih Muslim (6/21) from Abu Hurayrah radiallaahu'Anhu ]
… Narrated by Abu Da’wud that the Messenger of Allah (saaw) said,
“He is not one us who calls for `Asabiyyah, (nationalism/tribalism) or who fights for `Asabiyyah or who dies for `Asabiyyah.”

And in another Hadith, the Messenger of Allah (saaw) referring to nationalism, racism, and patriotism said: “Leave it, it is rotten.” [Muslim and Bukhari] and in the Hadith recorded in Mishkat al-Masabith, the Messenger of Allah (saaw) said, “He who calls for `Asabiyyah is as if he bit his father’s genitals”
