CAIR Ruins 4th of July – Has “Run Hadji Run” Fireworks Removed
Sheesh! What’s next? Burn all copies of Jonny Quest?
So, what is CAIR trying to imply? That there are no Islamic terrorists? As much as they’d like to us to believe that, it certainly is a fact that most of our current batch of terrorists are practitioners of Islam. And, it is also a well established fact that Uncle Sam is currently engaged in a war against terrorists who happen to wear turbans. Now, imagine if we were back in 1942 and some whiny Germans in America demanded that a fireworks vendor pull a stockpile of firecrackers named “Run-Adolf-Run.” That’s how absurd all this PC pablum is.
‘Run Hadji Run’ fireworks pulled off shelves
Fireworks called Run Hadji Run were pulled off the shelves of a Wisconsin store after Minnesota Muslims complained that they were racist.

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.
“I’ve seen other fireworks that I thought were pushing the line on being offensive, but this clearly went too far,” Jessica Zikri, the communications director of CAIR-MN, said today. “Hopefully, this will help keep other groups from being targeted this way.”
The company that imported the fireworks from China, Missouri-based Red Rhino Fireworks, said that they are at least three years old and were distributed by the firm’s previous owners. But they are still listed in the company’s online catalog, which said they send off 16 red, green and blue “strobe comets” over a period of 28 seconds.
They were discovered by a shopper Friday afternoon at Fireworks City in Baldwin, Wis. Reports of their existence reached CAIR-MN, which demanded their removal, and they were removed from the sales stock late Friday.
Because the fireworks were distributed several years ago, there’s no way of telling if other stores still have some, Zikri acknowledged.
“But we’re happy that this store saw the logic” of halting sales, she said. “We contacted [Red Rhino], and hopefully they will tell other stores to get rid of any remaining product they might have.”

CAIR is really way behind times if those fireworks were made in China 3 years ago. Shame on you CAIR.. You should go to CHINA and protest. Leave the USA out of itl.

We need to get rid of something alright, but it’s not fireworks.

I would normally think, “libtards attack!” But, you are talking about the state that just sent Al Franken to the Senate.
Sometimes you get what you ask for.

We will probably never know who actually sent that clown to the Senate. With Ocrapomoma in acorn’s pocket we may never know who actually wins any elections from now on.
Weaver, pissed at clowns too.

Righteous CAIR! So concerned that everyone is not offended, especially Muslims! Of course, if I was the owner, I would say ’screw you’ and promoted the hell out of Hadji go go go.

Run Muslim Run
Warning: explodes without warning, accompanied by a constant whining noise.

CAIR is a curse on this nation, and Islam is a curse on the world.
Screw Islam!

@Mullah- ‘…accompanied by whining noise…’ LOL!
So…someone went shopping for an offense and happened to find one. Gee, that seems rather odd… an offended muslim.
I agree, the owner should have said, “thanks for pointing those out, I’ll make a special ad to get rid of them.” Then promoted the hell out of them. I betchya he could have sold out before CAIR had the demonstration in full swing.

a weak analysis of an ugly incident .. it seems the blogger thinks he’s smart ass here.. but it reveals that the blogger just join the row of the ignorants who arent aware of the terms and what do they mean
frst adolf is NOT equal Hadji .. since Hadji means who do pilgrmage in mecca which every muslim reveres and if u think that means a terrorist .. so we face a hoax not a reasonable analysis
second if u equate the nazis , not the germans, with the entire muslims , i see that article lack a lot of accuracy which is not shocking from the americans who arent aware about the overseas cultures and isolated in a domestic bubble

How can you write that moon god worshiper? Your boys CAIR, and the Muslim Brotherhood are inside our borders. You should be happy.
I will be happy when the pink panty wearing pussies are out of the way, so their heads can be crushed. They are the enemy, and so are you.
Now, get your arse in the air towards Mecca where the kabba stone at zero point is. You pagan.

Hey, Hadji, YES, I knew what the hell “Haji” meant when I wrote my comment, so yes, I’m a lot smarter than you give me credit. But, why should I have to mention what Haji means when its meaning has nothing to do with the article? Now, if I pointed out what Haji means, then I most certainly would be acting like a smart ass, now wouldn’t I? Of course I would.
But, CAIR’s position here is that naming some stupid fireworks “Run Hadji Run” and having a cartoon depicting al-Qaeda like terrorists (complete with an Osama bin Laden look-alike) is somehow “racists.”
Note that I didn’t equate the entire Muslim population with Nazis. I merely equated terrorists with Nazis. Besides, Islam is a religion, not a race, so there is no way equating any Muzzie with a Nazi can be racist. Bigoted, yes. But, then again, so is Islam.
So, piss off, pilgrim!!!

Hmmm and just how many muslim websites are antisemetic and CAIR goes after them?
Yeah sure….
And yeah Hadji… The mujahedeen are terrorists look it up.
