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.

The Hadjis should be afraid of us but they aren’t. We run from them here in America because we are so PC. The America I knew as a child is lost. Independence Day is somewhat bittersweet this year. I celebrate “Independence” when I am a slave to the government. I hope to see the day when the People throw off the shackles and gain true freedom once again.

Images that poke fun at terrorists are not racist - these Muslim whiners should have been ignored.

"Run Hadji Run fireworks" Personally, I think this is a hoot.
See the image below of the fireworks box.
Calling the Minnesota thought police ... time to file charges about a hate crime.

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, Muslims have a GREAT sense of humor. Ever seen one NOT smiling after having beheaded someone?
