I think ATS (Amish Tech Support) carried an article about this that had a picture of the lighters in question. They're more than a little tacky.
I don't remember carrying that article. There's a few that I specifically avoid because everybody else is doing them and I'm just too horrified to come up with a snappy comeback.
I was trying, though. I tried to figure out what kind of trinkets could be made to mock Islam, Muslims, Palestinians, Arafat. All I could do was think up an Arafat bank than "ate" pennies out of the hands of Palestinians needing food and jobs.

I'm thinking of a sculpture, a freeze frame from the old Clash video "rock the casba", with a guy in a checked headdress filling up a limo being driven by a Hasid (let's see how many people I can offend at once, shall we?) But I digress...
