A Wisconsin fireworks store has yanked a brand off its shelves
[ snip ]
The fireworks were called "Run Hadji Run." The packaging showed a cartoon drawing of Uncle Sam yanking the beard of a man dressed in Muslim attire, and the other showed a bomber jet flying over a group of Arab men on camels.
"Hadji" is a title given to Muslims who have completed a pilgrimage to Mecca.

"Hadji" is a title given to Muslims who have completed a pilgrimage to Mecca. When used by an infidel, me for example, it is very offensive to Muslims. It is the same level of insult as calling Christians "Jesus Cannibals."

Wonder if this was from a Chinese factory that had had some, er, run-ins with Uighurs.

You mean, Jonny Quest all those years was insulting his little brown friend by calling him “hadji?”

“Hadji” is “Jihad” spelled sideways.
