RED Riding Hood, Spider Girl, Lil Bee... and Terrorist Man?
A Baulkham Hills discount store has moved quickly to remove from sale a highly offensive novelty costume depicting a stereotypical Arab man, complete with turban, beard, white robes and army camouflage vest and holding a large assault rifle.
The packaging identifies the costume as "Terrorist Man''.
A Hills Shire Times reader contacted the paper earlier today, complaining about the costume on sale for $32.99 at Red Dollar at Stockland Mall Baulkham Hill.
It was hanging right alongside children's and adults novelty costumes including nurses, superheroes, animals and policemen.
"It's disrespectful to so many - Muslims, victims of terrorism and the general community - and is a terrible example to children,'' the reader said.
The costume comes in sizes small (8-10), medium (12-14) and large (16-18).
When confronted, the store's manager removed the five costumes from sale and apologised, saying she understood the complaint ``given what's happening at the moment''.
It is unclear whether the same costume is for sale in other stores around the Hills and Sydney.
Does this depiction of a Muslim above,resemble the pictures of Islam's finest shown below? Of course not say the Islamist's and their Multicultural Harmony Day apologists.
