Or the Ken equivalent, Abken, complete with weapon of choose, for honor killing if Razanne should step out of line.

It is just too easy to shoot cynical comments at this (should I accessorize with a suicide bomb belt or AK? or should I wear the blue burka or the red one?) but hopefully it may do some good for Muslim girls to see themselves as more than property or invisible.

"Razanne comes in seven varieties — Schoolgirl Razanne, Praying Razanne, Teacher Razanne and Scouting Razanne among them..."

And Shooting Razanne, Grenade Throwing Razanne and Exploding Razanne, complete with real firecracker belt.

At the very least, it is one more step to American Balkanization, and if there is any good in the concept at all, some imam will pervert it.

You have stated the words of wisdom!!

Especially in "Little Arabia" (Southeast MI), where most of the girls that these kids go to school with are All American Kids, perhaps having a Barbie type doll to play with will make them see just normal.
Sent overseas, they could be a the doll that saves the girl.

I do really like this. My daughter was in a school in Sterling Heights MI with MANY Arab kids. I may get her the In and Out Doll for her birthday.

Razanne (pronounced RUH-zanne) was created four and a half years ago by Ammar Saadeh and his wife, Sherrie, owners of NoorArt, an educational products company, to give young Muslim girls a doll to which they can relate.

See Barbie Converts to Islam for pictures of the little bombshell. Since the article was posted, she has blown herself up.

Uhh, last I checked, it is against islam to create the image of a human face, this includes idols, statues, portraits and dolls.

The islamic morality police will have to confiscate and burn these.

You are correct. The Wahabi's will forbid this doll. They truly believe that it is trying to create what God has created.

If you take the burqua off the doll you see that she is ugly like homemade soap!

Quite true. This Western style doll is an abomination to Allah. This is enough toy for "girls" to "play" with..


*heavy sarcasm* Maybe?

How about loving your enemy as yourself? How about the golden rule? How about loving non Muslims as being the pathway to freedom from opression?
