People freak out over saying god at schools so they'll complain if a toy said it too. The point isn't that they're mad because they're racist it's that the toy said something that it shouldn't have.

This is ****ing ridiculous.

"I HEAR IT SAY 'ISLAM IS THE' OH MY GOD IS THAT A DONUT NOM NOM NOM"

You heard it say that because the other soccer mom told you she KINDA, MIGHT HAVE, SORTA heard it.

You can now resume your child neglect in peace knowing your children won't be tainted by the bad juju of Islam.

I don't even believe in conflict diamonds. That's just a movie. Think about it. Ain't nobody thought about nothing about no conflict diamonds until the movie came out.

what a mature and meaningful post sword

my point is that if they're whining about a toy baby doll saying something that sounds like "islam is the light" is indoctrinating their kids (who probably don't even know the meaning of the word islam in the first place) would be massively hypocritical if they'd been feeding the same kids another religion's materials their whole lives -- which is indisputably more indoctrinating.

by the way, the youtube's description says

CUTE DOLL SPOUTING ISLAMIC MESSAGE AND SOLD ACROSS THE COUNTRY - Fisher-Price Doll and the Devil

A cute doll that should coo sounds like it's spouting a message of hate. For the full story, watch the video report from Fox's Kerry Barrett. Target has already started removing the doll from its stores -- and Fisher-Price said its hasn't had any complaints. If you have the doll, you can get a refund.

fisher price doll and the devil? a message of hate?
it's a toy baby babbling.

your typical MMF user Group: Members Posts: 1341 Member No.: 4893 Joined: 2-January 08 Status: (0d)	Probably made a mistake while recording. Putting a message like that in some children's toy is bound to get caught by parents, and sued. I doubt the company set themselves up to get sued/loss of profits just to subliminally advertise Islamic beliefs.

Its probably just a weird coincidence. Nothing to worry here folks.

Kinda like how the yoshi's in Yoshi Story sound like they are singing about the airport.
