CHICAGO, IL - Muslim leaders in Chicago are criticizing a greeting card sold in stores all over the country that portrays a child´s doll as a terrorist. The card depicts a doll in traditional Muslim dress, with packaging that says "She´ll blow your brains out!" and "Pull string for message if you dare!" It´s a photoshopped version of a real doll, meant for children. The "Aamina, the Muslim Doll, in its original packaging, quotes religious greetings and sayings in Arabic, with messages like "Assalamu Alaikum,"

>>It’s playing to an ugly, ravenous stereotype that suggests that anybody who looks a certain way is a terrorist<<

The chances are they are.

Maybe a few select verses from the Koran would make this guy happy? For some reason, I don’t think so.

You are supposed to wait until your legs are gone, then (maybe) after speculating that it's Tea Partiers, (just maybe) once the evidence is in and you are sure it was a Muslim, you must defend ALL other Muslims.

There are a bunch of off-color humor greeting cards out there. You’ll probably find this one next to the one of an obese woman in a bikini with the quote “you’ll get me for your birthday.” There are cards that mock Jesus and Christianity. There are numerous — too many to count — cards that make fun of “WASPs”. Cards with stereotypical Jews on the front that look like something Goebbels dreamed up. There is nothing special about this card, other than it fits comfortably in with a greeting card market that uses crass humor to sell cards.

71 one more virgins just like that and the primitive Mooslime scumbags can party like it’s 1999. (B.C., that is.)

Ahmed Rehab says "I would urge him to make fun of us, but do it intelligently since moslems don't have even a minimal amount of intelligence, we won't get the joke and we will keeeel you"

When a religion will tolerate no criticism of itself (Islam, Scientology) it is an indication that the leaders know that their religion cannot stand tall in the light of day.
