Awesome<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Parents are outraged about the messages they’rehearing from a doll. It’s Fisher-Price’s “Little Mommy Real Loving BabyCuddle and Coo” doll.<\/p>\n

Some people claim they can hear it mumble “Satan is king” in one track; then clearly speak “Islam is the light” in another.<\/p>\n

The Associated Press, among many others<\/a>, have investigated – here’s their report:<\/p>\n

I’ve also uploaded the audio of the Dawah Doll to Listen Islam<\/a>, for your listening pleasure. Wal-Mart has already pulled it from the shelves, but Target says it’s keeping it in stock, so tomorrow I need to go out and get me one of these babies immediately. Naturally, our corporate pawns at Fisher Price have been instructed to engage in taqqiya and deflect questions about the Dawah Doll:<\/p>\n

Well done, dhimmi! <\/p>\n

Debbie Schlussel is on to us<\/a>, but no one takes her seriously, so no worries, the grand plan to indoctrinate the toddlers of America is proceeding apace.<\/p>\n
