Maybe these are the sort of dolls Muhammad's pre-pubescent wife was playing with:
"Narrated 'Aisha: I used to play with the dolls in the presence of the Prophet, and my girl friends also used to play with me. When Allah's Apostle used to enter (my dwelling place) they used to hide themselves, but the Prophet would call them to join and play with me. (The playing with the dolls and similar images is forbidden, but it was allowed for 'Aisha at that time, as she was a little girl, not yet reached the age of puberty.)" -- Bukhari 8.73.151
"It's Barbie in a burkha: World-famous doll gets a makeover to go under the hammer for 50th anniversary," from the Daily Mail, November 21 (thanks to all who sent this in):
One of the world's most famous children's toys, Barbie, has been given a makeover - wearing a burkha.Wearing the traditional Islamic dress, the iconic doll is going undercover for a charity auction in connection with Sotheby's for Save The Children.
More than 500 Barbies went on show yesterday at the Salone dei Cinquecento, in Florence, Italy.
Makers Mattel are backing the exhibition which is the work of Italian designer Eliana Lorena.
The auction is part of Barbie celebrations for her 50th anniversary this year. The UK's biggest Barbie fan Angela Ellis, 35, has a collection of more than 250 dolls....
Yes, and removing the burqa reveals a pleasant surprise: a bearded OBL or Arafat - just like they escaped capture before, dressed as women.

Dear Santa,
I've been a good little Muslima. I've beheaded several Infidels, provided sex slaves (possessions of the right hand) for my uncles, collected the extortion tax (jizya), stolen much Infidel property (Chapter 8 of Koran called Booty), and many other good deeds.
Even though we don't celebrate Christmas, I REALLY, REALLY want one of those new burqa Barbies.
Just one please, just one - the one where we remove the burqa and see our heroes, either OBL or Arafat. Oh please, just one bearded lady.
Jew Lover
I wonder if the doll has been infibulated. They could also have another doll, a husband who is at least 60 so they could marry her off. How about a complete set of dolls, mother, father, 8 kids various relatives and of course, an Imam for the wedding. You could also have a set of stones (just in case) and................ Oh shut up Eric !!!!
What!?! No suicide vest as one of Barbie's fashion accessories? Also, if the Barbie universe now is Islamicized, does this mean Ken will be executed for being gay?
looooool. Why didnt Mattel name their dolls aisha? Did Barbie convert to Islam? Will Barbie have clothes on under the burquas? Aisha was a baby so I guess they didnt want to offend MUSLIMS.
Stick-on bruises/acid scars, acid bottle and stones optional.
Will this Barbie have been circumcised?
Female genital mutilation is a must for a good muslimah.
So, should the muslim girl who buys it, do it herself with a DIY kit?
What change of clothes will the new barbie have?
Three other sets of black burquas?
Interesting set of clothes to change into.
Might as well join the fun!!
Detachable hands, Detachable head... Detachable arm and leg on opposite sides....
And Jihad Ken can have a permanent ?rection as the Quran says they will have in Allah's eternal heaven, so you can buy all 28 Ken's and make a big linked circle!!! (You know, there were 100 virgins, only 72 were female, there were 28 young Kens for Ken's true Arabic side to "Come Out"!! We all know homosexuality is far more widely practiced in Islamic countries than Western!! Look at Ahmadinejad - one can just see him and Rahm Emanuel together!!.
And every Burkah Barbie and Jihad Killa Ken when squeezed screams a chilling Alahu Akakbhaaaaaa..... Death to the Joooozzzzz (Don't need Death to America anymore as Allah's latest Prophet Barry is taking care of that!!).
Messiah come soon for your Blessed Nation Israel, Your Chosen, and we who are grafted in!!
Batteries not included...
I'm gonna buy a Paper Doll that I can call my own
A doll that other fellows cannot steal
And then the flirty, flirty guys with their flirty, flirty eyes
Will have to flirt with dollies that are real
When I come home at night she will be waiting
She'll be the truest doll in all this world
I'd rather have a Paper Doll to call my own
Than have a fickle-minded real live girl...
Put a burka on that and you have a Muslimah...
So what? Barbie in a Burka? I admit that it's a little funny, but aren't there bigger matters out there?
I can appreciate the sarcasm and humor in the above comments, but I really don't consider this to be a laughing matter at all.
To me it demonstrates in a microcosm the post-9/11 submission of the West to the Barbarians. And that ain't funny.
One of the comments on the Daily Mail was "Oppression of women transformed as tolerance and diversity." To which another poster replied (paraphrase) "Well, why don't we just have an FGM Barbie, too?"
Indeed, why don't we make Nazi SS uniforms for Ken to promote the tolerance and diversity of Nazis?
Where the 18th century is often called the "Age of Enlightenment," the 21st century will be referred to in the future as the "Age of Insanity."
Now Ken can dress in drag and no one will know.
Kepha and darcy --
You guys really should lighten up. These dolls could be the best training tools YET to teach our children about the evil that is Islam.
That Islamic women aren't worried or motivated enough to make changes is no reason we, the enlightened, can't have a little fun with this product line.
BTW -- it is in the accessories that we can really have a ball, y'all!
"BTW -- it is in the accessories that we can really have a ball, y'all!"
And what are those?
maybe she comes with a little pile of rocks so she can be stoned to death.ken comes with a few sheep, just make sure you sell the meat in another town.
darcy asks about accessories...
REMEMBER THESE ARE TRAINING TOOLS FOR TEACHING OUR CHILDREN ABOUT THE EVIL THAT IS ISLAM.
For starters...
rocks for stoning
sharia court play set
suicide vest combo play set
Muhammad Ken and Aisha (Stacy) action play set
'go to mosque' play set with prayer rugs, qurans, hadiths in a vertical folding mosque minaret
free knife for necessary genital mutilations
flogging whips
sharia shovels and sandpits
‘little mosque on the prarie’ rustic play set
hat tip @ http://doctorbulldog.wordpress.com/2009/11/21/bad-stereotypes-for-little-girls-burkha-barbie/#comments
&&&
stick-on bruises/acid scars, acid bottle
coins/currency for collected extortion taxes (jizya)
glue-on beards to become men again
various and sundry stolen infidel properties/war booty
radical imams
gay Kens for staged executions
3 sets of identical black burquas for changing into ...something more comfortable ;)
[as expressed in the above posts :]
:sigh:
Is nothing sacred?
sometimes the bleak reality of Islam calls for sarcasm
Seriously, though--
This is a limited edition Barbie, which means it's not a toy for children. That's the good news.
Owning one of these dolls will be a status symbol for the Barbie collector. That's the bad news.
There will be plenty of bent-out-of-shape Muslims who will not be pleased. I don't know whether that's good news or bad news. Maybe I'll ask Douggie Hooper...
For the curious, as was I, Douggie Hooper =
Ibrahim Hooper (born Doug Hooper), a convert to Islam, is the spokesperson for Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a Washington D.C.-based Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibrahim_Hooper

I had confused him with Doogie Howser, M.D. from American television:

Cheers!
How about a baby for Barbie to provide mufa’khathat for one of her cousins? We could call it mufa'khthat Barbie.
Next in the collection: Suicide Barbie, complete with a pink backpack loaded with pink plastic TNT and all her hair shaven (pioneered by the Barbie dolls anyway). While the Suicide Barbie is meant to cater to the "conservative" Muslim girl, anemically depressed white girls precociously into Sylvia Plath and already beginning to hate their own West may also enjoy this new addition to the Barbie line and may be inspired to revert to Islam as a more productive way to channel their hatred of this world and of themselves.
I wander if she should be called Burqua Babe Barbie. Anyway I want one for my dogs to play with. On second thoughts that may be a Haram to far. I suppose I could feed it Pork and take it to church with me to show my Multicult credentials. I could load it with semtex and give it to the local Mullah as a sign of appreciation for my enrichment...... Oh shut up Eric
"Revert" is a term used by Islamists to imply that every human is born a Muslim, right? So a non-Muslim actually REVERTS to Islam -- not CONVERTS.
Why is Doogie the CAIR guy referred to as a "convert" to Islam? Shouldn't Wikipedia properly address his status in Islamic terms, Hesperado? Maybe someone should put a bug in their ear about it!
A burqa Barbie would be no different than a slave Barbie, complete with shackles and yokes. The hypocrisy of a society that is accepting of the former but not the latter is mind numbing. Future generations will imprecate us for allowing the jinn of jihad to escape from the bottle to which our ancestors had confined it with their swords and cannons at great expenditure of their own blood and treasure.
Darcy, I totally understand what you mean when you say this is no laughing matter. However, the Devil and multi-national corporations do not like to be mocked. This product offers the perfect chance for a double-play of derision, sick and sad though it may be.
It seemed to work, the designer got everyone to talk about her Barbie creation. Just think, you are reading about it and posting on it, in a forum that most likely would never say anything about Barbie. It is November, just before Christmas and everyone is talking about Barbie. Maybe any publicity is good publicity? Hmm? Free publicity for a charity auction of Barbie's, maybe that is the reason for Burka Barbie. It is a well known strategy amongst artist types to push the envelope to get coverage.
Here is the link to the official Barbie Collector forum
http://www.barbiecollector.com/news/news.aspx?news_id=225
It is not unusual for Mattel to license Barbie to designers to come up with concept Barbie's for collectors. For example, Christian Louboutin is a Paris shoe designer. His collection featured a Barbie that appears to be a jet set jewel thief in a skin tight spandex catsuit. So it is not surprising that there was a Burka Barbie.
Other than a bunch of Barbie collectors and maybe 30 seconds on the local news, who would have even cared about a Barbie fashion show. Really! Just think about it.
Collectors are probably salivating over Burka Barbie, as they know that there won't be more than one made. Apparently Wheel Chair Barbie is one of the coveted dolls that actually was in production. This is an interesting underbelly of society, complete with discussion forums and price guides. Some people live and die on this stuff.
The ridiculous thing about it is, that you could stick some doll hands and feet on a couple of Popsicle sticks and dress it up and it would look the same as Burka Barbie. It kind of defeats the purpose of a fashion doll.
"I wonder if the doll has been infibulated."
That brings up the hideous possibility of a Barbie doll used by Muslim mothers as a "teaching" doll for young girls, complete with accessories of rusty knives and shards of glass.

Darcy;
You are right that this burka thing is not at all funny. I do though remember a story (I don't know if it's true or not) about Abraham Lincoln. He was asked why he laughed so much during such grim times. His reply was that he could either laugh or cry.
At 50 years-old, (since this is the 50th anniversary of Mattel's famous doll) Burqa Barbie is far too old for Muslim Ken.
She should be aged six to nine, am I right?
We're into Barb(arit)i!

Well, maybe so. I'm crying, however. I simply can't believe the horror that is going on concerning the PC crap about Islam and Mohammedans, and Western Europe currently being taken over by the aforementioned Barbarians. But, I do believe it, and that's why I'm (figuratively speaking) crying. I don't find anything humorous in it, at all.
The terrorists love to see you cry, darcy. That's what TERRORISM is about. Buck up and help fight it!
Possibly why Muslim women wear burkhas...

Here are some more ideas for the kiddies, just in time for the Holidays—oh, wait...
In any case, here's one for the little boy who wants to grow up to be a "Shaheed"—it's 'wired for fun':

And let's not forget the Shia tots! Here's little a little baby doll at the Ashura festival, complete with knife wounds on its head and blood-stained blankie:

Perhaps the worst thing about Burkha Barbie is that she was created by an Infidel, who should know better—Italian designer Eliana Lorena, who acted with Barbie manufacturer Mattel's full blessing.
A Burkha Barbie! That's what we've been waiting for. My pre-commenters are right, she needs to be genitally mutilated and has to face being stoned in case of adultery. Good luck to her!
I looked for it earlier today but couldn't find the You Tube video about how to wrap a hijab. The model for the video was Barbie, herself. Maybe it got deleted as haram. Maybe even Barbie can get away with having a face.
I'll keep looking for it though.
There are a few things that need to be added to the Burkha Barbie line. First, there needs to be a jail for the Saudi Barbie, after she is arrested for daring to drive in her convertible. There also needs to be Vice and Virtue Police dolls to beat Barbie with sticks if she is seen in the company of Ken. Then,there needs to be some angry family action figure dolls for honor killing if she insists on continuing to see Ken. Also, for the Burkha Barbie all musical instruments or devices should be removed from her new home, as music is, of course, banned. And, if the child should ever take Burkha Barbie to school, acid kits should be provided for Barbie's face mutilation, to convince the other Barbies that going to school is a big mistake. Since she is not allowed to socialize with non-believers, any Kuffar dolls or stuffed animals must be removed as well, such as Winnie the Pooh,Paddington, and especially, God forbid, Piglet.
Don't worry, they don't. Only you guys do.
Also, I didn't mean literal "crying." What I meant is the shock and sorrow and anger and incredulity I feel by current (post-9/11) world events in which the West is submitting to the backsides of Barbarians.
I watched "Saving Private Ryan" tonight. I suppose we have the same type of carnage to look forward to when WW3 - West v Islam - starts. In about what? 10 years? Sooner?
darcy re:
"Don't worry, they don't. Only you guys do."
Are you saying the terrorists don't make you "cry" but we do?
Is that kind of like Hootie [and the Blowfish] saying "the dolphins make me cry?"
What?!?
Heidi, just eff off, ok?
I feel free to display my true feelings on JW, which I would never do to the Barbarians. Get it?
Now, blow off. Thanks. Go bother someone else.
I was here first, darce... :)
Additionally, I am a financial contributor to Mr. Spence's fine work. What about you, darce?

A few years ago, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia banned the import and sale of Barbie dolls, and part of their rationale was that Barbie was "modelled after a Jewish girl".
