Can someone check if a Mohammed doll is accepted?
No, and I'm sure a book about celebrating Hanukkah would have been rejected as well as inappropriate for Christian children.

Yeah, but the salvation army rejects any used furnishings or appliance that appear to have been, well, used.
We must not live in a very poor nation when I had furniture rejected for donation because it was no longer in style (and FORGET about a used baby car seat).

A talking Jesus doll seems sacreligious to me. You want some kid tossing it around a mud puddle? Bad idea altogether. Good for Toys for Tots (I don't really know their motives and don't care)

Something Christian at Christmas time??? What were they thinking!!?? Thank goodness we have the Political Police looking out for us.
To: Kylie_04
Is this about giving kids gifts they'll like, or you making a political statement? It's obvious that T4T drew the line here because the gift was given to make a point, and the point was not to entertain kids or give them something fun when their parents can't afford to.
Why do people have to politicize Toys for Tots?
To: rockinqsranch
>I unapologetically submit that Jesus is not a toy.<
My first thought, although I think such a doll is a bit sacreligious.

It's rude to give a jewish kid a present for Christmas anyway.

The issue is simple - it's simply rude to give a Jewish kid a Jesus doll for Christmas.Um, why would a Jewish child be getting a Christmas present in the first place?

Have them pick then! Give me a break! This is why no good deed goes unpunished. THEN MAKE IT GUARANTEED!!! THEIR MARINES FOR GOSH SAKES!!!

Oh don't be such a fogey. It will be much better for kids to get dolls that do killa rap.

Hanukkah would have been rejected as well as inappropriate for Christian children.
WHY?
It is a biblical story of the Jews so is Jesus a story from the Jews, so what is inappropriate?

Yeah,
I have a feeling Talking Jesus isn't near as much fun for a kid as Talking Elmo.

Funny how people anymore are picky about donations. So much for generousity.

Isn't Toys for Tots a Christmas program?
Christmas is celebrated by many people, including many non-Christians. The holiday as enjoyed in the mass media and served by charities like Toys For Tots really has nothing to do with the birth of Christ. There's a healthy debate about that every year which tends to get drowned out by pointless debates about whether someone is persecuted because their Walmart greeter doesn't say "Merry Christmas" to everyone as they enter the store.
