A friend of mine called their turbins, "Suicide Towels". I asked him why. He said, "Because should they ever start suicide bombing, we'll all just shoot anything wearing one."

I didn't think the suicide bombers wore turbans?

That would be unfortunate, as the swarthy-complected middle-easterners wearing turbans are the ones you would not want to shoot. The ones who wear turbans are Sikhs. They generally do not cut their hair, so they wrap it up in a cloth and then wap the cloth about their head. That is also why the term "raghead" when applied to middle easterners is an insult to the wrong group of people. They are not a branch of Islam either. Moslems generally don't wear turbans at all, but sometimes they wear those funny round caps with no brims.
