This is hardly new or unique. We purchased Saudi Barbie in 2002 ish for our daughter which came with the habbiyah and a lovlely outfit underneath.

I remember seeing Barbie in the Army dress blue uniform with floor length skirt with the officer’s stripe (she was a major in the Army nurse corps IIRC).

It was part of Barbie makes one of many career professional choices.

Nowadays how about LEO Barbie in combat gear taking down that worthless murdering creep NidalMalikHasan?

So sick of soft-on-Islam PC. And women are its victims.

I think all of the little girls here should have them to prepare them for what they will be forced to wear after Obama sells us out.

Mattel is wasting its time trying to pander to neanderthals who despise everything their doll stands for. They would be better off making a feminine boy doll named Osama or Mohammud.
