An unexpected noise came out of a child's present this Christmas: an Islamic prayer.
Instead of whooshing and roaring expected out of a toy F-16 fighter jet bought on Amazon, the toy plays a prayer in Arabic, KING-TV reported.
The toy's manufacturer, WolVol, blamed its factory for the mistake, according to the report.
"It sounds like an Arabic chanting, which is pretty unusual," Bjorn Thorpe, the boy's uncle, told KING-TV. "I think we're kind of confused on how this would happen."
Nadeem Israr, president of the Islamic Society of Whatcom County, told King 5 the sound is a Muslim prayer spoken during pilgrimages to Mecca.
"It's very wrong. It's very, very wrong," he told KING-TV when asked about the toy.

How could it remotely be an “honest mistake”? It’s a programmed sound chip!
O-bongo would say thats the most beautiful sounding jet place Ive ever heard!!
jet plane. oops
Equip our jets with this and swoop down over IsiS
and when they stick their collective butts in the air.
WHAMMO!
If flown near tall buildings it always seems to crash into them. Reason is not yet clear...
This article will not generate any excitement. But imagine this excitement if an “alter call” to receive Jesus Christ as Lord and savior played when the toy was on...
Ooh....good point!
I’m guessing that toy would sound ominous and spooky even for a muslim child. Kids are after fun, not fatwahs!!
If that happened (A positive message about Jesus), I still would wish to return it, albeit with far less trepidation. Child’s playtime should not be complicated with
Catechism unless that is the agreed goal from the start.
Chinese are strange like this. They enjoy taunting other peoples. I remember in late 90’s baby clothing in Australia having been soaked in terrible chemicals. In japan they put crazy derogatory English words and slogans on shirts they sell in Japan knowing they won’t understand. The strangest toy I ever saw was at a shopping mall, the Hamdan Center to be exact, in Abu Dhabi in the late 80’s. I was in a toy store and I picked up a toy advertised for a young girl - it said 6 to 10 on the packaging with a picture of a young girl holding it. I swear it was a pink plastic vibrator that required batteries. I guess it makes sense when one considers that Islamic rules model nine years old as good to go. I remember being in disbelief and had to bring a friend back just to prove it.
Pour bacon grease on the plane
Then take a bodacious OBama on it.
Then burn it.
And ship it to the headquarters of all slime...Mecca.
It could happen, a bin of chips meant for the talking ayatollah dolls was accidently put on the toy plane assembly line, yeah that's what happened, that's the ticket!
Clockboy must have got a new job!
Catechism and Jesus are not compatible.
If I got a toy like this, I’d strap a large firework to it and send it back, more realistic that way heh.
Will someone please get one to Jeff Dunham? Ahmed the dead terrorist needs one.
As an added bonus, this toy also rapes women and children.
The batteries are for the Muslim prayer that plays when you hit the “on” switch. No vibration on the Islamic model. Muslim females are forbidden sexual pleasure, ya know.
