Meet Mattel’s latest doll: dressed conservatively, covered head to toe with only her hands and face visible. The fabric she wears is extra-thick, so there’s no chance of seeing skin. This Barbie wears no adornments. She also wears a hijab.
This new Barbie has been spun by Mattel and the doll’s inspiration, Muslim Olympic fencer Ibtihaj Muhammad, as “empowering” for young girls.
Really?
Growing up in Maplewood, New Jersey, Muhammad wasn’t an integrated American teen: Her parents insisted she cover up at all times, even when playing on volleyball and softball teams. In 2011, she told the Wall Street Journal that she wore long clothes under all her uniforms — until her mother arrived at the perfect solution.
Driving past their high school one day, her mother saw fencers for the first time. “I don’t know what that sport is,” she told Muhammad, “but when you’re 13, you’re doing it.” Her mother loved that the fencers were completely covered up.
The same article explained that later, when Muhammad was in her mid-20s, her mother thought she should travel with a male guardian. She also bristled at sport etiquette requiring her daughter to shake hands with male referees.

Punishing their women because their men can’t control themselves.
Yup
Their worldview is that men don’t even have to control themselves. Kill the Infidel, rape the women. That’s what passes for “culture and civilization”. In the western world we have a term for that “uncivilized barbarians”.
In the civilized world, shaking hands is the act of expressing respect, acceptance, and equality.
Muslims seem to be the only people who find that objectionable.
Islam is disgusting.
“Driving past their high school one day, her mother saw fencers for the first time. “I don’t know what that sport is,” she told Muhammad, “but when you’re 13, you’re doing it.” Her mother loved that the fencers were completely covered up.”
Nothing like idiotic reasoning.
I wonder if Islamic Ken comes with a whip to beat Hijab Barbie.
This is more than just disturbing. It’s dangerous, as it makes something corrosive and divisive seem normal. Hijab Barbie is no better than a KKK Ken.
From Breitbart...
A new Muslim, hijab-wearing Barbie doll has taken Instagram by storm.
The doll that has been a fashion icon for decades has recently undergone some transformations – different skin tones and body types – and now has appeared as “Hijarbie,” wearing the Muslim hijab.
Haneefa Adam, who earned a Masters degree in pharmacology in the UK, says she was inspired to create the Hijarbie Instagram account after coming across the Barbie Style Instagram page.
“I thought I had not seen Barbie dressed in a hijab before so I decided to open an Instagram account and dressed Barbie up in the clothes that I made,” Adam said, reports CNN. “I thought it was really important for a doll to be dressed like how I would be.” ...”

Lol!
It's a good thing for the girl that no one jousts any more.
How come hijab Barbie is not cultural appropriation?
Also, I’ll be waiting for Habit Barbie (looking like Mother Theresa), Bollywood Barbie (with dot on forehead), and Santería Barbie (rubber chicken accessory).
WHY do so many people in our country bend over for islam?
Obama was/is a muslim, and was the president, but he is gone now and the muslim worship continues.
I really don’t understand.
