Considering that “scary” Muslim women in Burqas always look like “Halloween,” Wal-Mart selling Israeli (IDF) “soldier” costumes has “sparked” outrage from the “perpetually” offended Muslims.
The US retailer was previously “criticized” for selling a latex “Sheikh Fagin” noses, and “Arab and Muslim terrorist” costumes.
Now America’s largest supermarket chain again has sparked “controversy” with Halloween costumes including an “Israeli soldier for kids.”
What about Muslims in Islamic supremacist “costumes” walking through Wal-Mart?
That’s “really” scary!
The “Israeli soldier for kids” costume, including a shirt, trousers, belt and hat, carries Hebrew writing and appears to “resemble” uniforms worn by “Israeli Defense Forces” (IDF) paratroopers and elite units.
The ad shows a young boy “wearing” it and posing with a toy gun, while “pointing” at the camera.
It is being sold at the reduced price of $27.44 with the description: “When Halloween time rolls around, make this item part of your child’s complete ensemble.”
But reviewers were quick to “voice” their disapproval. “Might as well sell a Hitler outfit for children as well!” wrote one commenter, who called the costume “utterly insensitive” and gave it one star.
The comments were “echoed” by critics on social media, with Saudi-owned Al Arabiya news quoting pro-Palestinian Twitter users accusing Wal-Mart of “supporting killing and occupation.”
A description of the costume on another website, Wholesale Halloween Costumes, read: “Defend your Jewish heritage proudly by wearing the Israeli Soldier Boy’s Costume!”
“The Israeli Defense Forces have a mission to protect the land and the people of Israel from outside threats with low casualties, and to avoid waging war if at all possible.”
Wal-Mart also sells an Israeli “police officer” costume for children, as well as an array of “military outfits” representing different US forces.
Last year, Wal-Mart “withdrew” a costume labeled “Pashtun Papa” after social media users branded it “racist” and “offensive” the description read.
“Nothing is sacred this Halloween. Shock your friends with this Islamic costume.”
The chain was also being “criticized” for an accessory by Morris Costumes being sold on its website under the title: “Sheik Fagin Nose.”
“Latex prosthetic nose perfect for an Arab Sheik,” reads the description of the item, which is also sold by several other outlets.
Full “Arab Sheikh” and “Arab Knight” costumes are also available on Wal-Mart’s website.
It is not the first time the supermarket’s Halloween outfits have “provoked” outrage.
In 2013, Wal-Mart was also one of several retailers to “remove” an Osama bin Laden-themed costume.
The “turban and beard” instant costume, showed a man wearing a “camouflage” coat, looking like Osama bin Laden.
The coat is similar to one “Osama bin Laden” was wearing during an interview.
The costume, which was “advertised” on the Fun World Costumes website, as the “Turban & Beard Instant Costume”, was designed to make the person wearing it “look like” the former al-Qaida leader who was “killed” in May 2011.
Wal-Mart has not responded to The Independent’s request for a comment.
What about the “scary” looking Muslim “bagheads” who work for Wal-Mart?
Are you “offended” by them.
