Critics say the term is used by anti-Muslim protesters, and pressured the retail giant to remove the hat from it’s shelves. Cenk Uygur, Jimmy Dore (The Jimmy Dore Show), Brett Erlich (Pop Trigger) hosts of The Young Turks discuss.

“Sears is responding to critics and removing a controversial hat from its website, the retailer confirmed to Fortune this afternoon.
The hat is emblazoned with the word “infidel”, and was first pointed out by a user on Twitter.
“Infidel” is a term often used by anti-Muslim protesters. It is co-opted from Islamic extremists who use the word to describe people that aren’t Muslim and especially Westerners. Clothes bearing the term have often been seen at protests of mosques and Islamic community centers.”
