'It's revolutionary!' Barbie unveils its first ever hijab-wearing doll (trunc)
Daily Mail ^ | Nov 13, 2017 | CLEMENCE MICHALLON

The woman who became the first US Olympian to compete wearing a hijab now has a Barbie modeled after her—and it's the first one to wear a headscarf in the doll's 58 years of existence. Bronze medalist and sabre competitor Ibtihaj Muhammad, 31, made headlines when she donned her hijab at the Rio Olympic games last year. Today, she unveiled the doll Mattel made in her honor as part of its 'Shero' line dedicated to inspirational women, which also includes Ava DuVernay, Ashley Graham, who hosted the doll's debut in New York City, Misty Copeland, and Gabby Douglas. Ibtihaj posed with the doll at Glamour's Women of the Year Live Summit, and later raved about her Barbie's debut. 'It's so cool to see myself in this little doll form with my fencing uniform on,' she told People. 'It says my name on the back and it has a fencing mask and the little sabre. I just love it.' The athlete expressed her delight that children who wear headscarves themselves can play with a doll that looks like them. 'I think its revolutionary for Barbie to take a stand in this moment that we're in—and I would say, as a country, to have a doll wear a hijab and be the first of its kind,' she added.

Does it come with a stick to beat her with, as in accordance with Sharia law?

She’ll have to get rid of her pink Barbie car because women aren’t allowed to drive. So Mattel can’t sell her pink car or her fashion wardrobe or her boyfriend or any clothing related to careers. Sounds like a powerful revenue stream, eh?

Is she already mutilated in all the right places right out of the package or is she intended as a do it yourself project with a Barbie razorblade included?

FOR SURE.

Perhaps a closet full of sticks and whips to keep the 'property' in line.

And maybe some rusty barely sharp tools for genital mutilation.

And maybe a full bomb scene after it has blown a little 4 year old girl jihadi to tiny bits.

Yeah, I guess I have some passionate feelings about such horrific hideousness from hell.

If they are going to dance the dance of death with such agents of satan--let them go whole hog and show the whole realistic images of the consequences. None of this white-washing torturous genocide from hell, for me.

Some of us believe in calling a spade a spade and showing a spade as a spade . . . and defending our faith and way of life against the hordes of hell.

The god of this world (Satan) has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe. (2 Corinthians 4:4). They don’t see a path to destruction, only a popular one that is ‘cool’. Those on that path love company, and call the narrow one bigoted and evil to dissuade the others. The world loves the darkness.

Boycott Mattel

I’ve never liked Barbie, but this is ridiculous

Tie a piece of dark cloth all around a stick and you’ve got Burka Barbie.

So, “they” say islam is just another religion. Why is Mattel honoring a “religion”? Anyone see Christian, catholic, Jewish or Protestant barbies coming out of this anti American company?? Didn’t think so.

That’s because they KNOW islam is a governing body masquerading as a religion. Get your burkas ready girls!

Mattel is dead to me.
