Isn't Toys for Tots a Christmas program?
Right on.
WHAT kid wants a Jesus doll? "Mommy, Daddy, Can I get a Jesus Doll for Christmas...I hate GI Joe....he's a facist." Flame away....
If a kid in Afghanistan gets caught with a Jesus doll in his hand, he'll be writing in school with a stump
I agree with you....
It's amazing how people will say speaking of Jesus or Merry Christmas might be offensive to some people. I am still wondering what offense might be taken???
Did Jesus say Kill the Jews and the Muslims and the Hindus and Buddhists???
NO..
He said *Love your neighbors as yourself* and forgive others 7x70. Maybe if he would of said Kill your neighbors if they don't agree with you and tell everyone to *Do thier own thing*, because It's your thing do what you want to do then he would of been embraced by the heathen society we live with daily...
GOAL: The primary goal of the Foundation is the same as that of the overall Toys for Tots program: i.e. - to deliver, through a shiny new toy at Christmas, a message of hope to needy youngsters that will motivate them to grow into responsible, productive, patriotic citizens and community leaders. (emphasis mine)
I respectfully submit that if you would be offended by a Jesus doll, then you should not accept any Christmas presents. Please. This PC crap is ridiculous!
Jesus is recognized as a prophet in Islam...............
This isn't the Toys for Dirty Old Men program.
"Has anyone tried to see if buddha dolls or Muhammed dolls get the same sort of treatment? "
The muhammed dolls had to be recalled. They kept beating Barbie, chopping off Ken's head, having sex with "Baaa" the stuffed lamb, and then blowing up.
As such, they were a safety hazard.
I have a feeling this one wouldn't go over too well:

Yes, it is. See my post #25.
I smell a set up by a company trying to make trouble and move product..."hey let's offer them a Jesus doll (a toy no kid is gonna want anyways) and then when they REJECT it, we'll get press coverage and SELL MILLIONS of 'em....yeah...that's the ticket. "Intolerance=millions of dollars."
Especially suspicious that this runs on CNN website...
I don't think a Mo doll would be approved of--look how badly the whole pictorial represenation thing went.
Maybe if his face was blacked out though.
I bet Britney Spears Crack Ho' dolls are okay.........
What kid wants a skateboard? They are dangerous.
And a pocketknife. Oh my.....
You know, you have a point there...
Maybe if his head was removeable.........
Very true. Too bad Islam rejets what Jesus actually said.
Sigh. This is just BS. The issue is simple - it's simply rude to give a Jewish kid a Jesus doll for Christmas. Come on people, have some sense. This has *nothing* to do with Jesus being a threat. It's just that they can't guarantee delivery of these toys based on religion.
"The muhammed dolls had to be recalled. They kept beating Barbie, chopping off Ken's head, having sex with "Baaa" the stuffed lamb, and then blowing up.

LOL!
I can't imagine they had that sort of problem with the buddhas!!
Wow, you missed the point entirely...Do you actually know, kids asking for a Jesus doll? Seriously?
A Skateboard or a pocketknife would be cool to a kid...
