Irish shop sells 'terrorist' children's Halloween costume
A pop-up shop in Coleraine that sold 'terrorist' children's Halloween costumes has been criticised.
The shop is called Halloween, located in the Diamond Shopping Centre.
The outfits have since been removed from shelves after complaints.
Including a shirt, vest, pants and headpiece it's a cheap costume that incurs a strong perception of Islamophobia in Ireland.
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."
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.
Although the costume attempts to imitate a traditional Islamic Thobe, in reality it is a cheap stab at the Muslim people who call Ireland home.
Are the people who bought this costume encouraging Islamophobia in their children? Let us know what you think below.
