I am absolutely outraged! This doll should be taken off the shelves immediately! If in the airport they were forced to put up a "jewish star", because it was offensive to people practicing the jewish religion, next to our Christmas Tree why should we, as Christians, Americans, etc., be forced to put up with a doll teaching our children terrorism!

Wow. Fisher Price's recordings of baby talk just so happen to sound like a sentence, and everyone's all up in arms.
Fek'lhr: I don't know which is scarier: backwards rock on Teddy Ruxpin, or watching the damn thing "read" stories.
Translation:

What a wonderful mastery of hyperbole you have there.
IF this doll actually says Islam is the Light, which I kind of doubt, it should have been clearly marked on the box. I would be pissed off if I bought any doll for my kid and it said something religious that I did not know about.
HOWEVER. The above statement is just gibberish and makes no sense whatsoever.
I love how 'Islam is the light' suddenly becomes a hate message or training for terrorism in these people's minds.
You might disagree with absolutely every single tiny bit of Islam but those words still can't be read as a message of hate.
Islam is not terrorism, terrorism is terrorism. Islam is just another idiot religion like Judaism or Christianity or Catholicism.
I've never even heard of this doll, but another poster says it's saying something that is misconstrued as 'islam is the light'
Clearly, Allah designed this doll to accidentally sound like that because he's all powerful, and we've been barking up the wrong deity this whole time!
'I'm pretty annoyed about those Christian advent calendars which clearly promote a religion which advocates crusades, inquisitions, witch trials, genocide, mass executions and intolerance..'
You see how ridiculous you sound, even if the doll was saying anything about Islam and it's not just one of your Fundie brain attacks.
Well in these people's defense, they are obsessed with finding hidden nonexistent messages in everything.
Remember when they thought Rachel Ray's scarf was promoting terrorism?
Ok, maybe being bat shit isn't really much of a defense.
and after watching the video I heard "Wham is all right." Maybe the doll is a George Michael Fan?
I don't blame this guy. He has issues and cant' help it. But the media and Wal-mart should not be enabling him by acting as if he is anything other then nuts. He will never get the help he needs then.
Yes. I'm sure there's a huge conspiracy over at Fisher-Price to encourage kids to convert to Islam. Clearly, their goal is to destroy the American nation and all other non-Islamic countries with it.
Come on, people, it's a recording of baby talk. Are they saying that the baby whose voice was recorded wants to converts kids to Islam now?
Bloody paranoid, the lot of you.
This kind of thing seems to happen all the time. Didn't a talking doll get pulled off shelves years ago because some of its nonsense sounded kind of like "fuck you"? And people swear up and down that in Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Donald Duck calls Daffy Duck a nigger. And to be fair, it does kind of sound like it, if you're listening for it. I think the issue here is that when people are confronted with nonsense (in the literal sense of the word, mind you), the human mind attempts to discern recognizable speech from it. Sometimes it "succeeds", and then what gets heard can be based either on what syllables are in the nonsense and in what order, what the listener expects to hear, or some combination of the two. And if someone is in the mindset of constantly being persecuted for their beliefs (however erroneous it might be), and then thinks a doll told them that "Islam is the light", instead of thinking "Oh hey, this nonsense sounds a little like actual speech! How peculiar!" they're apt to think "Oh no! Satan is attacking our children through their toys! SOUND THE JESUS ALARM!". Which is what happened.
You're going to hate my nursery rhyme doll!
May, Mary, quite contrary,
And suddenly, I'm back in 1986, and everyone's parents are up in arms because they had Spike say "shit!" in the Transformers movie, so us kids would have to take our parents with us to get in.
COMPLETELY ignoring the massive psychological scarring I and several of my friends suffered when Optimus Prime died. Who cares if the good guy bit the big one? ZOMG, there's a cuss word in this movie! Won't somebody please think of the children?!?
I bought a bootleg copy of said movie at Starfest a few years back, and my then-BF and I literally high-fived when we discovered it wasn't the edited version.
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh.
...I listened to it.
Only the power of suggestion made it sound like 'Islam is the light'. If I didn't read it beforehand it would have sounded like the gibberish it is. Heck, I could also hear it as "Oh damn, it's the night".
Really.

Dolls? 'Jewish Stars'? They're the least of your problems. Suigintou would like a word with you, Freedom2BeACompleteTit :

How's the concept of a doll whose clothing features an inverted cross grab ya?
Just the above reduces your 'argument' to nothing more than Junk.
"Rozen Maiden" - certainly it's currently airing 3rd series (a Bond/"Star Trek"-esque reboot of the scenario) - will give you lot aneurysms.

“next to our Christmas Tree”
Our Christmas tree?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
