There's nothing wrong with believing in Islam - and, to my mind, nothing wrong or scary with a doll that carries pro-Islam messages.  I know that in practice America is a woefully Christian and intolerant country - but I'd like to think we can still aim for better. Being Muslim is no worse than being Catholic, Episcopalian, Presbyterian, or Jewish.  It's just horrifyingly sad that many Americans think it is.  I fail to see how a doll that says good things about Islam is any worse than setting out the baby Jesus figurine in a nativity - which many young children like to try to play with.  

This is just so stupid. Of course, I never understood what was so horrifying about the idea that a political candidate might have had a muslim background, either...

I personally find any doll that spouts religious propaganda of any kind equally terrifying. Dolls should be dolls and should only say what the kiddos 'make' them say.

The doll freaks me out. It isn't an adult toy people, this is our children we are talking about!!! I am trying to teach my two year old about Jesus, and here are her baby dolls telling her that Islam is the light, and that Satan is the King.  UNACCEPTABLE!! It is crazy that people are stupid enough to think that this is ok.  

My daughter has had this doll for quite some time. I've tried to figure out what it says, and now I realize it clearly says "Islam is the light." Although I won't be taking it from her since she is too young to understand, and while I am very tolerant of religious diversity, I don't think it is appropriate for any doll to convey any religious messages without properly labeling the box as such. It is the responsibility of manufacturers to clearly indicate the content of their products.

It must be a large error. I work at a toys r us, just north of minneapolis, minnesota, and we had to yank them from our shelves too.

"satan is king" and "islam is the light" are indeed what the babies were saying lol

I would be just as freaked out by a doll that said something about Jesus, Eelya. It's unacceptable that someone's idea of a joke includes a children's toy, and mixing Islam and Satanism as if they are somehow connected.

Wake up people!  This is ridiculous.  If ever a doll spoke the  truth and said "Jesus saves" with out a warning on the box, you would all freak out.  The liberal spin in this nation is unbelievable. Don't only pull the dolls from the shelves, but boycott FisherPrice.  They are irresponsible.

Are you serious....if so you are buying into the whole politically correct b.s., along with the rest of the nation, that thinks that there are no elements of the islamic religion that belive that the end of the West is their final goal of their religion. i heard this doll and that is exactly what it says.  

I have this doll and I didn't notice anything until I was told to listen for it and now it does sound like it says Islam is the light. (that's not too bad at least it isn't jihad to America)  My daughters hear: Llama in the light and momma and night when I asked them.

I think people have vivid imaginations.

I think this doll is outrageous! What kind of sick freak would expose their children to this. I am in my 20's and it freaks me out that someone thought this up, what do you think it is doing to children! Boycott Fisher Price!

When I was young and first learning in middle school of the Salem Witch Trials, I often thought to myself “what gibbering fools the Puritans must have been to succumb to such ridiculous hysteria” and later, in high school, similarly wondered in horrible disbelief at a population that so readily subscribed to the Nazi ideal, a belief system that eventually lead to one of the most terrible chapters in modern history. I believe now that we know what sorts of people these were. Many of them call themselves Social Conservatives, and Christians, and Americans. They live next door to you. Their children sit next to yours and mine in school. But their defining purpose, unlike we who can accept and even celebrate the differences of our neighbors, is to propagate fear and animosity and prejudice of anyone even vaguely unlike themselves. They commit this tragic disservice in the name of their god or draped in the flag of their country, and it both saddens and confuses me that such individuals and I could be of the same species. I am embarrassed by it and them as an American, and angered by it as a human being. Control yourselves. Be adults for once in your sad misguided lives. Attempt some basic form of humanity. I don’t think it’s really that much to ask.
