I..., I'm sorry, I forgot what this thread was about. :-)
Doll babies?
Yes, and he gets four Barbies--a set.
I'd like to commit a "paradise operation" on her.
She comes will a pull string so you can hear her ululate.
Just f&@#$^g kill me now.
NO NO NO! DON'T PULL THAT STRI
Oh look, Barbie just became a slave.
The Iranian version hanging from a construction crane??
Hey, in Afghanistan after the Taliban was ousted, a lot of women continued to wear the burqua or a heavy veil by choice. They don't feel modest without them. Same reason my lady wife won't wear miniskirts, tube tops or two-piece bathing suits. Not out of religious or social obligation, but just because she feels underdressed and uncomfortable.
BTW to others on the thread-
To stereotype all Muslim women as slaves and all Muslim men as murderous abusers is no more accurate than stereotyping all Christians as witch-burning, gay bashing abortion clinic bombers. And it does not reflect well on the person making those statements.
Ladies, which would rather be: the wife of a secular Muslim who came to America to get away from all that Jihad nonsense, or the wife of a bible-thumping, hellfire-and-brimstone fundamentalist Christian preacher?
Is this doll Fulla Shiite, or does she have a Sunni disposition?
Prolly could use a Baath.
too funny!
I can assure you, the preacher.
The suicide belt is of course, and 'extra' accessory.
The HOT Barbie this year in the Death Cult is the pregnant one with bruises and welts all about her.
