Fireworks called Run Hadji Run were pulled off the shelves of a Wisconsin store after Minnesota Muslims complained that they were racist.
The Minnesota chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-MN) said that both the name and the packaging are demeaning. One side of the package has a drawing of Uncle Sam yanking the long beard of a man in traditional Muslim attire, while the other shows a Stealth bomber flying over a group of Arabs riding camels. In addition, "Hadji" is an honorific for those who have completed the pilgrimage to Mecca.

More appropriate would have been ‘Run Hussein, run..’

Why would anyone bow to CAIR?? They would love to sell fireworks showing terrorists killing infidels.

Can I still buy those on E-bay?
Muslims need to get a sense of humor.
Or perhaps, they could quit bombing and killing and we might not make fun of them.

Why would murdering, suicide-bombing Muslims be offended?

“Muslims need to get a sense of humor. Or perhaps, they could quit bombing and killing and we might not make fun of them.”
If they did that they would no longer be moslems.

Yeah, Hadji is racist and anti-muzzi but we're told by The One that "Hussein" is "American as apple pie"!
