A Muslim mother in Pennsylvania, United States is launching a Hijab line for dolls in a bid to promote diversity and acceptance regarding Muslim women’s choice to wear the headscarf.

Safaa Bokhari of Oakland, Pennsylvania and her friend Gisele Fetterman have teamed up with Pittsburgh non-profit organisation For Good for the Hello Hijab initiative, which will create tiny headscarves as accessories for Barbie and other dolls.

According to the official website “Hello Hijab believes that while we may look different and have different beliefs, our similarities far outweigh our differences. We strive for a world where we all live and love together.”

Speaking to The Huffinton Post, Bokhari said she hopes the “Hello Hijab will be used by both Muslims and non-Muslims, so that children get used to the sight of women wearing the headscarf.”

Soon if you go to a social gathering, you will see people gushing about new Muslim Barbies and how wonderful they are. Then they turn around and ask your opinion, expecting mandatory approval. You can end this conversation by just saying, "MAGA."

They do know it’s a sign of gender oppression?

our similarities far outweigh our differences.


If our similarities far outweigh our differences, then why the need to make a doll which is clearly different; a doll which is designed to be different, and showcase a major difference?????

Muslim Ken should be equipped with a beheading sword and a bottle of acid which they can splash on the face of women who won't cover their faces.

If there is one thing Islam has taught me, is that if you want to get you way, make headway in a culture and have people defend you with virulence.

Is to wage brutal war and commit unimaginable acts of Terrorism.

It really does get you everything you want.

Seriously.

“Hello Hijab will be used by both Muslims and non-Muslims, so that children get used to the sight of women wearing the headscarf.”
The most disturbing sentence in the whole article.

Poor Ruth Handler (Barbie’s creator) must be rolling in her grave. She was born in Denver of Polish Jewish parents.

Maybe the muslim mother could also offer some stitchwear for Tranny-Ken.

Just so long as they don’t make a doll named Mohammed. If they do that the jihadists will blow up the toy factory for sure.
