The Atlanta Journal Constitution ^ | November 13, 2017 | Jennifer Brett

Olympic fencer Ibtihaj Muhammad is quite a doll – literally. She’s thrilled to have inspired a Barbie in her likeness, and especially proud that the doll will be the first Barbie to wear a hijab.

“This is a childhood dream come true,” she posted.

The doll is part of the “She-ro” line.

“We are so excited to honor Ibtihaj Muhammad with a one-of-a-kind Barbie doll!” Mattel posted. “Ibtihaj continues to inspire women and girls everywhere to break boundaries.”

Does the doll come with a detachable head?

Are there pre- and post- acid bathed face models?

Does she come with a half-dozen exploding children?

When she gets old or someone else plays with her, does she come with a set of stones and cinder-blocks to retire her permanently, or is that a separate set of toys?

Will her genitals be MUTILATED?

They already are. Islam is home to the smooth vagina. All it needs is a tiny hole.

The real issue, however, is that the hijab is a sign of ownership by a man. So where is hijab Barbie's master?

I want Crusader Barbie.

Looks like there may be a DIY option, if this guy on Kickstarter can be contacted.

She needs accessories. How about a toy goat or camel?

A mosque filled with real exploding tiny bombs.

Are dolls even permissible in Islam? Images of people are not.

"Are dolls even permissible in Islam?"

Yes. Under Sharia you can play with a doll up until puberty. As far as I can tell puberty is subjective under Sharia.

Aisha the 9 year old wife of Muhammad whom was 53 years old was playing with her doll when Muhammad came into the room and asked to put the doll away. The mother was asked to leave her daughters room.

She wasn't allowed to play with the doll again.
