IRELAND – A “child terrorist” Halloween costume has been withdrawn from sale after numerous customers complained it was offensive.

The outfits were being sold for £15 at a Halloween pop-up shop in the Diamond Shopping Centre in Coleraine, County Londonderry, Northern Ireland.

They included a shirt, vest, pants and headpiece and the boy pictured on the packaging wore a fake beard.

The Daily Mail reported that one staff member said: “I know that people might find them a bit sectarian but I don’t see what the problem is really.”

Coleraine DUP Councillor Trevor Clarke also condemned the costume, which he described as “completely inappropriate.” 

The latest report by the Immigrant Council states that: “Islamophobia and anti-Muslim racism are established realities in Ireland.”

Ireland is home to an estimated 65,000 Muslim men, women and children.

The outrage comes just a few days after Amazon was forced to withdraw a “sexy” Saudi-style burka outfit after it was labelled “racist” online.
