From criticism about sexualizing girls from too young an age to creating a negative and unrealistic body image in girls, Barbie has long been accorded a great deal of responsibility for the self-image of young girls. So now Barbie, with her showy display of glamorous makeup, jewelry and flamboyant styles, is ready to cover it all up. Mattel has released its first Barbie in hijab, fashioned after Muslim Olympian Ibtihaj Muhammad.
Quran 24:31 commands women to cover so thoroughly as to reduce their capacity to provoke temptation, and to hide their “adornments.” If a woman does not completely cover, then she is fair game to be “abused” (Quran 33:59).
The covering up of this free icon of Western femininity in a hijab will be presented as a celebration of “diversity.” Iranian-Australian columnist Rita Panahi condemned such celebrations in the West, following an effort in the City of Greater Dandenong to encourage “non-Muslim women to wear a hijab for three hours” to raise “awareness and insight.” Panahi asked relevant questions of these “diversity” promoters:
Perhaps a celebration of sharia law involving an adulteress being flogged in the city square…. moral police armed with long canes who can whip women for showing too much hair or skin?
That might familiarise the locals with what happens in parts of the world where hijabs are compulsory….It was only late last year when women in Iran were disfigured and blinded in acid attacks for daring to contravene the country’s strict hijab code.
How far are Barbie’s creators prepared to go now that they have waded into the waters of religion and identity politics?
We are so excited to honor Ibtihaj Muhammad with a one-of-a-kind Barbie doll!” Mattel posted. “Ibtihaj continues to inspire women and girls everywhere to break boundaries.
Shrouding the identity of women is breaking boundaries, all right! The hijab is a symbol of the lower status of women in the House of Islam, and in the House of War, it is often a public declaration of sharia adherence and supremacist pride.
A side note about Ibtihaj Muhammad: less than a year ago, she spoke out as a “victim” of the Trump temporary Muslim ban on countries of concern after she was detained, claiming that she was detained because of the Trump ban, when she was actually detained under Obama. Muhammad also claimed that in America she feels unsafe “all the time.”
“Mattel releases first Barbie wearing a hijab”, by Jennifer Brett, Atlanta Buzz, November 13, 2017 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Olympic fencer Ibtihaj Muhammad is quite a doll – literally. She’s thrilled to have inspired a Barbie in her likeness, and especially proud that the doll will be the first Barbie to wear a hijab. “This is a childhood dream come true,” she posted. The doll is part of the “She-ro” line.
“We are so excited to honor Ibtihaj Muhammad with a one-of-a-kind Barbie doll!” Mattel posted. “Ibtihaj continues to inspire women and girls everywhere to break boundaries.”….
elee says
Does she come with a suicide bomb vest?
DV says
A fencing sword that can easily be used for be-headings.
Georg says
“A fencing sword that can easily be used for be-headings.”
Here she is with a co-religionist mocking beheadings. Yet more evidence that Islam is a despicable crisis.

mortimer says
NEXT… HAREM BARBIE and SEX SLAVE BARBIE!
How UNLIBERATED CAN BARBIE GET? “Just watch how low we can stoop to sell dolls to MISOGYNISTS and ENSLAVERS OF WOMEN!” – (DIRECTORS OF MATTEL CORP.)
Eur says
Of course. And if you press a button the doll says’ Allah akbar, death to the infidels.
Very didactic
Halal Bacon says
what is with the makeup if the whole idea of the outfit is to keep wicked thoughts from men’s minds?
John W says
Exactly. Go completely face naked.
mortimer says
Exactly. The look is PREPOSTEROUS and insults our intelligence. Pious Muslimahs do not wear make up or pluck their brows. UNI-BROW is DE RIGUEUR.
Rosewood11 says
I think some enterprising Catholic group should make several different “habits” to fit over the new hijab-wearing Barbie’s head-covering, and celebrate Barbie converting to Catholicism and becoming a nun!!! Sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander!!!
StacyGirl says
Hee haw yes. Mother Theresa in Indian habit and Golda Meir would be better. The sword does seem to fit this solidly built Muslima tho
Jim says
Let’s not make fun of Christian religions or Judaism. Even though the Catholics deserve to be made fun of for getting a government contract to settle muslims in the US, let’s not lose our focus here of running islam into the ground.
Krazy Kafir says
Of course the “outfits” will include the, burqa, niqab, and the chador.
Timothy McAlee, Sr. G.eD. says
Forget Barbi, Ken & G.I. Joe! Mattel is also coming Out with a “Tim” doll. He is the most decusting Doll on the Planet! Affectionately known as the Grumpy Old Man, with a Catheter Doll. YOU pull on his Catheter & HE Whistles… comes with 12 Catheters, to be changed every month!!!
Benedict says
“Muhammad also claimed that in America *she* …”
At least the debacle of transgenderism has reached the Muslim World also.
Anyhow, hope this Barbie will be followed by Linda Sarsour as a Barbie doll in burka.
epistemology says
Exactly, and Ken will wear an overlong beard and a salafist hat and he’ll beat up his girl, very good combination for the integration of all the Muslims coming to Western countries. It’s business as usual as in their own uncivilized countries and Mattel will sell a lot of the hijab dolls to Muslims in the Western world.
BTW Nike did the same thing a long time ago, they developed a hijab for a female ice skater to reduce friction. In most sports you have to be as fast as possible and the poor hijab wearers are disadvantaged by friction. Allah found a remedy he made Nike develop an accommodated hijab. That’s progress nowadays.
manat bint allaha says
the iinda sarsour barbie doll should start as white, but when you put the potato bag on her head she should turn black.
just like the original did..
one could think of further improvements, such as an mp3 tune praising the benefits of fgm, and maybe a little cockroach logo on the clothing.
Voytek Gagalka says
Their design is not “to inspire women and girls everywhere to break boundaries.” They don’t wish to “break boundaries” but to impose them! Examples? Iran before 1979 and after. Afghanistan before around 1990 and after (and particularly now). Arabia before Mohammed and after. Any other previously non-Mohammedan country before its conquest and after. The list is endless. That is the trend: first one little “Barbie” in a new garment; ultimate goal – total Islamization.
moeped says
Does she exhibit FGM also? These dolls should come in packs of 4 with one husband doll.
c matt says
Sorry, FGM kit is sold separately. But if you buy Mohammed Ken, then you can get 9 Jihad Barbies!
Wellington says
Might as well release a Barbie wearing a swastika since the hijab, as with the swastika, are sartorial representations of ideologies which are mortal enemies of freedom and which single out certain groups of people (Nazism with particular ethnic groups; Islam with non-Muslims) for second-class status or death.
Shame on you, Mattel. Profound shame.
epistemology says
Swastika and hijab are the prefect combination, would be a good idea to suggest that to the new sultan of Erdoganistan. You got it perfectly right my friend same as the Nazis Muslims hate nothing more than freedom and rational thinking. Bye, bye science when Islam takes over, but we’ll prevent that.
All the best to you and yours and take care my friend
dumbledoresarmy says
Exactly.
In fact, that might be one way to challenge and expose what is going on with this.
Place two Barbies side by side. *One* this Dawa Barbie, all done up in hijab as per the publicity. The *other*… dressed up in a historically-accurate Gestapo uniform… or an SS uniform complete with deathshead… or a historically-accurate (make sure it is) female Hitlerjugend costume, with Swastika armband.
Caption: “Wearing the Uniform of Totalitarian Supremacist Death Cults”.
Dum Spiro says
Does Kendullah come with a taqiyah, whip, and tiny acid bowl?
Acid sold separately…

DFD says
That was criticized by a German publicist – her facebook account is now deleted…

Thanks, DFD. More sickening censorship from Facebook.
Eur says
In the TV ad the Muslim Barbie spoke with a neighbor and her husband denounced her as an adulteress. All the people could enjoy the stoning.
Charlie Martel says
And no concern about how offensive this is to the women of the world. Hopefully there will be a boycott on Mattel shares and products, although it is already pretty much boycotted by Feminists for alleged contributions to Anorexia and Bulimia. Some corporate culture!
Pete says
So when we Matel have the new Ken doll?
Complete with bomb making materials sword and a AK47
(blood and guts sold seperately)
Just in time for the Infidal Christmas I hope
Hugo Hackenbush says
If her fencing record (excellent as it is) were the same and she was NOT a hijab-wearing Muslim I doubt that she would be considered of note and most certainly would not be approached by Mattel to serve as a model for a Barbie. Since she won no individual medals and was vicariously awarded the “team” Olympic bronze medal, will Mattel be approaching anyone else from the team regarding being the model for a Barbie? I’m waiting…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… You get the point.
gravenimage says
Actually, Hugo, her record isn’t all that amazing. She won a qualifying bout, but then was knocked out in the very first round by a fencer from France.
The only reason she has an Olympic Bronze medal is because she was part of the US team. This is not an individual medal.
gravenimage says
It is highly unlikely that such a run-of-the-mill fencer would get so much attention–or even have been on the US Fencing Team in the first place–if it were not for her wearing Hijab and being good propaganda.
Hugo Hackenbush says
Agreed re: the hijab issue. Still, making the USA team is no small feat and (at least according to Wikipedia) she is rated 8th in the world (at least as of the time of the Olympics). Still, I wonder who is #7 and what were the other rankings on the USA team? Mattel’s interest is rather selective and seems headwear-based.
JF says
And she is never allowed outside alone without Muslim Ken, he is allowed to beat her if she is not obedient to his wishes, and her opinion is worth 1/2 of his!
JF says
If you gently press her tummy she screams “Allah Akbar”!
Aloha Akbar says
If you gently squeeze her vest she explodes.
gravenimage says
Mattel “excited” to release first Barbie wearing a hijab
…………………………
*Ugh*. Is Barbie now going to tell Muslim dolls to rape Midge for not wearing a Hijab? Is she going to help her new Muslim friends to “groom” little Skipper as a sex slave?
Maybe Ken will convert to Islam, grow his beard, and change his name to “Khalid”. The deluxe version will come with a thobe, skullcap, and suicide vest, and screams “Allahu Akbar!” when you pull his string…
CM says
I just remember awhile back we had Burka Barbie, and had fun with that.
gravenimage says
This is worse–this is actually from Mattel.
Tricia Stuercke says
Great comments & concepts everyone!
I WAS A HUGE MALIBU BARBIE FAN! This Hijab Barbie thing is dead on arrival IF SHE CAN’T GO ANYWHERE…unless they throw in a free male-relative escort, Hijab Barbie is useless! They can follow their original, highly-successful marketing plan, but instead of Little Sister Skipper, have HB come with a complimentary Big Brother Sayeed! Killing 2 Infidels with 1 stone, the car can still be rolled out, but of course it has to be Sayeed’s Dream Car, which won’t be as empowering as the Barbie Dream Car was. Mattel’s biggest problem, of course, will be the glamorous, infamous “Barbie Wardrobe”, which allowed little girls to create endless fantasies for their futures. They can make up losses there, however, by really tricking out the HIJAB BARBIE COMPOUND, which has SO many more possibilities than the Barbie Dream House ever had! Go with the predictable, yet timeless Oil Barron wealth storyline, & imagine the limitless additions…key, of course, are all the friends that can be created for the Ramadan Feast in the Gazebo, with the poppy field view, where Sayeed will introduce Hijab Barbie to his new friend, Kareem! ; )
Naildriver says
If they did a crusader, Valkyrie with a long sword to chop this vile Muslim swordsman to pieces…
As it is, it’s the worst form of propaganda for this enemy, Islam; in that it is targeted to our children. Those at Mattel? who are responsible should be held accountable and hopefully made well aware of this treason. Islam is not ok.
Kay says
+1
Even if they don’t buy it, children will see it in toy stores. Parents would feel ashamed to not be PC in public and so it will be normalized in young eyes.
billybob says
Someone should photo-shop this hijab barbie doll buried to her waist in the ground, getting stoned, with an accumulating ring small stones surrounding her, bruises on her face, one eye already bashed in, and blood running down her cheek. Could show other doll figures around her in a ring, rocks in hand, some in the act of throwing. There could be a line of text explaining the scene: “Barbie was raped, then sentenced to death by stoning for having thereby committed adultery.” This would be a dire warning to little girls everywhere.
Aloha Akbar says
Ken: “Hijabi Barbie!! What are you doing out of the Toy Box unaccompanied???”
*stab*stab*stab*
MFritz says
I very highly doubt that Mattel and Barbie – in any shape or form – are tolerated in ANY muslim country.
Eur says
In Morocco movies that censorship considers contrary to Islam (anyone with a biblical theme) are forbidden, there are music groups that can not play because their music is considered immoral, certain ads are not shown on television … I would not be surprised if Barbie was forbidden for indecent … I do not know for sure, but I would not be surprised.
gravenimage says
Remember the ugly “Fulla” doll, sold in Muslim countries as an alternative to Barbie?
Here’s a picture:

Hilariously, the package touts that she has a “New Abaya!”.
All in black, complete with headbag–just what every little girl dreams of…sarc/off
Kasey says
And capitalism promotes Islam just for a few extra dollars of profit!
I wonder about leftists says
Ibtihal Muhammad, you are feeling unsafe “all the time”? Can you imagine how we feel ! Your Islam has threatened us for years, or have you forgotten that? Let me remind you:
You are going to conquer us, put your Sharia laws on us, kill us, behead us, flog us, stone us, behead us,
if we don’t convert to your religion, kill us, put terror in our hearts, wanting to kill the Jews and the whites,you threaten us all the time. You beat up our women, you put hate into your children,
tell us what to wear, how to wear it and when. The same with food, to command us what to eat, and when and how, I can go on for a long, long time. You came here as guests, you profit from us the whole time, in food, housing, money and health care. What do you want to tell us? That you are afraid all the time? But most of us are not afraid of you , but I am getting really sick of your victim attitudes. You people never had it so good and you yourselves blew it. We don’t like people destroying things, robbing people, oh, and I forgot, one of the most important atrocities : RAPING ! Your violent religion does not belong here. Clean up your own religion, but preferably in your own country.
YOU blew it, thanks to yourselves, but congratulations with your doll, it really brought us together .
[sarc].
And you Mattel, you blew it too, no good advertising with that doll. ” The real “DOLLIES” will take over your country very soon or at least try, and you can start to fabricate dolls without a head to begin with,
and don’t forget to write on their frontheads: I am a religion of peace ! May be somebody will accept it from a doll better, then warnings from normal people, the so called Islamophobes.
Chand says
So now a commercial doll wearing a hijab, targeting Muslim kids for profit, is a topic of conversation and heated debate!!??
LOL.
Hundreds of dedicated Jihadis are using their brains and dollars right now to commit mass murder wherever and whenever they can. They are thinking up the most devious of methods and tools to do that………….who knows what. Germs, chemicals, radio active stuff, cars, vans, planes…………..
Forget the doll. There’s some bad stuff ahead.
Unless Kim and Donald does us in first!
Or carbon dioxide levels.
“It is a hard rain………….gonna fall”.

So–you believe that a civilized democracy is no different from a totalitarian hellhole. This explains a lot…
FYI says
Does it come with a certificate to say that it has undergone a Female Genital Mutilation
procedure?
Or how about..
A little booklet “Linda Sarsour:my struggle….. for the enslavement of muslim women”?
A little play lamb that has been brutally slaughtered by islam’s animal cruelty,Halal?
A male figure to make sure muslim Barbie never leaves the house and some chains to chain her to the wall if she tries to escape?
PKG says
LOL!!
-Looks like the stuff that voodoo dolls are made of…..
Far from breaking down walls, it enshrines the very walls within which it was conceived,- apart from being f***ing ugly of course.
martin says
A sometime in the future statement, Mattel “excited” to release muslim male doll to suitably dominate barbie’mah – accessories include ropes, whips etc.
Further in the future, Mattel to release new series of non muslim sex slave dolls after sustained claims of islamophobia.
FGM dolls to follow with razor accessories.
haller says
Here’s the link to a really heroic Algerian 1500 meter runner that defied the usual Islamic obstacle course of national shame etc that we have come to expect from the knuckle draggers. Perhaps Mattel could release a celebration of her winning gold at the Barcelona Olympics of 1992 and the World Champs the year before Read on:

I bra him will buy one. I hope they supply make-up, he can cover her black eyes and bruises on her body so nobody will know what the coward does to her. Maybe they will make a blow-up, life size, he can thigh or perhaps the small size Barbie will be suffice. Small mind, small …..
Schrödinger says
These verses from the Holy Koran are quoted both to rebuke all you Kuffar Harbies on Jihad Watch and as a stern warning to Unbelievers everywhere;
24.031: And say to the believing women, and to the Barbie Dolls, that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except (what ordinarily) must appear thereof; that they should draw their veils over their bosoms and not display their beauty except to their husbands, their fathers, their husband’s fathers, their sons, their husband’s sons, their brothers or their brothers sons, or their sister’s sons, or their women, or the slaves whom their right hands possess, or male servants free of physical needs, or small children who have no sense of shame of sex; and that they should not strike their feet in order to draw attention to their hidden ornaments. And O Ye Believers! Turn ye all together towards Allah, that ye may attain bliss.
33.059: O Prophet! Tell thy wives and daughters, and the believing women, and the Barbie Dolls, that they should cast their outer garments over their persons (when abroad): that is most convenient, that they should be known (as such) and not molested. And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
Congratulations Mattel. Congratulations for doing what Allah wants and for also making Mattel profitable again.

This article is a prize and the comments are absolutely hilarious!This does for Islam what Jack Benny’s To Be or Not to Be did for the Nazis. Congratulations to everyone!!
