I applaud the doll's creators for savvy marketing. They recognized a need in the marketplace and they provided it. Three cheers for capitalism!

Let's see.. We have Dr. Razanne, possibly even Astronaut Razanne, and our newest concept - Jihadist Razanne.

Burqa,exploding belt and stoning rocks sold separately.......

Well, that's nice.
Good for them.
But I think they really ought to change
the name of this doll, "In-Out Razanne".

[strela]

Lest people think that she's all about praying, there's In-Out Razanne

(CHOKE) (SPLORF)

I did a search on ebay and "Razanne doll" is NOT available. Sad news to all of you dying to order.

[arielb]

ok let's not make fun of the sweet little muslim gils who only aspire to grow up, go to law school, get engaged and then blow themselves up at restaurants in Haifa

[gg188]

Do the muslim boys get their hands on the doll, bury it up to its neck in the sand, and stone it with pebbles?

[88keys]

This is kind of a good idea, I think, except...

(from the article) Jenna, who recently donned the veil after much soul-searching, said Razanne makes her "feel more comfortable about being a Muslim girl."...

I have a wee bit of difficulty in any eleven-year-old "donning the veil after much soul-searching"!! I loved my Barbie dolls when I was that age (Midge, Skipper, Scooter and Ken, plus "bendable-legs" Barbie, "original" Barbie, and the whole schtick)...but I never thought I was Barbie, ever could be Barbie (Barbie's perfect, you know!) or even thought I should consider Barbie in whatever "soul-searching" I was capable of at that age...

I hope this young girl will grow up well, and that she'll feel free when she's a bit older to reconsider her decision, and choose again whether to affirm her "veil" or put it away along with her Razanne doll.

Razanne has the body of a preteen. The doll comes in three types: fair-skinned blonde, olive-skinned with black hair, or black skin and black hair.

Soon to come: Razanne's friend Aisha, along with a male, Ken-like figure called Mohammed who takes the 9-year-old Aisha for his bride.

Burkha Barbie

They are probably sold in groups of four--that way a little Muslim girl can get used to the fact that she will be one of four wives when she grows up (if she's lucky). Otherwise, unlike Barbie, she's going to be working herself to death taking care of her average 5.5 children, shlepping powerlessly behind her all-powerful, controlling husband.

Sell that stock!

ARTICLE SNIP: "Saudi Arabia's religious police recently declared Barbie dolls a threat to morality, complaining that the revealing clothes are offensive to Islam."

This is such a nice article Pokey.
I like traditional values and no
mention of Jihad dolls is a plus here, too.

[Rudder]

Does the Muslim barbie have a vulvectomy?

[Siamese Princess]

She can also create male dolls: Suicide Bomber Samir, Taliban Tariq, Al-Quida Karim, Flight School Student Farooq, the list is endless.
