Rachael Ray Ad Pulled by Dunkin Donuts

A Dunkin Donuts ad featuring Rachael Ray was pulled after conservative commentators argued the talk show host's scarf implied support of Muslim extremism.

The online ad was taken down this weekend because of "the possibility of misperception detracted from its original intention to promote our iced coffee," the company said in a statement.

Conservatives like Michelle Malkin contended Ray's black-and-white scarf looked like the traditional Arab headdress called a kaffiyeh. They said the scarf appeared to show support for terrorism.

Malkin wrote that the kaffiyeh "has come to symbolize murderous Palestinian jihad."

The company responded: "Absolutely no symbolism was intended."
