In light of today’s slaughter of Americans by a Muslim, it’s interesting to read this article about removing from sale a paper target that appears to be a jihadist.
Note the bullseye on the groin? Today’s Islamic jihadist murderer was shot in the groin. Practice makes perfect.
ROYAL OAK — Target Sports is no longer selling a shooting target that depicts a skeleton with a long beard wearing a turban and robe and carrying an AK-47.
The director of a Muslim civil rights groups said he confronted the store owner after he learned about the product in a complaint from a constituent.
“I decided to pay the shop a visit and I saw the target on a wall and purchased two copies,” said Dawud Walid, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) of Michigan.
Walid said he then introduced himself to the owner, Ray Jihad, and talked about how the target could incite violence.
“I expressed my concerns that it’s not just offensive but a person who shoots at a target like that might see a Muslim and look at that person as a hostile enemy,” Walid said. “He promised to stop selling them. It was that simple.”
Walid lauded the decision in a newsletter for the Southfield-based, non-profit group.
“We welcome the decision of Target Sports to discontinue selling such targets, which could have the effect of perpetuating misconceptions that Muslims, in particular those wearing certain attire, are to be viewed as a threat that should be eliminated,” he wrote.
Troy attorney Shereef Akeel, a member of the CAIR legal advisory board, also complimented Jihad and said he hopes other gun range owners follow his lead.
