Barbie loses out to veiled rival

Re: Barbie loses out to veiled rival

I criticize these people because they exist. Its possible I saw these people on the news or in journal reports, etc, that I am commenting on them. You can comment on the Devil, but does that mean you spend your Friday nights drinking Whiskey in the Devil's Den?

Cute

SHE has enchanted little girls for decades around the globe, but Barbie, the world’s bestselling doll, is being elbowed off the toy shelves in the Arab world by an Islamic playmate called Fulla.

In this “battle of the Barbies”, dark-eyed Fulla shares roughly the same physique as her western counterpart — her breasts, says one reviewer, are “modestly smaller” — but she is covered in a black abaya, or robe, and a matching black headscarf.

NI_MPU(‘middle’);
She has her own prayer mat — in pink felt — and in the words of NewBoy Design Studio, her Syrian-based creators, espouses “Muslim values” that will probably conspire against her following Barbie’s footsteps into space exploration, politics or the Olympics.

[who says only muslims r paranoid]

However, this has prompted fears of a fundamentalist plot to propagate the wearing of the veil in a country that has banned it from schools.
“This doll is an Islamist strategy,” said Catherine Costa- Lascaut, a sociologist who belongs to a committee that championed opposition to the veil in the classroom.
“It is a very clever one. They (the manufacturer) will try to generate a craze and it will be difficult to stop. The doll has one main advantage which is that it touches children. They reach right into the home.”

[this is amazingly funny for me,poor guy didnt know other things cud divide society too]
*
“If children do not resemble each other, at least in their games, if their games separate them, Barbie doll against Muslim doll, society will be divided because the unity of the nation starts with the unity of its children.”*


She will never have a boyfriend like Barbie’s Ken, or the Australian surfer called Blaine who is one of Barbie’s more recent playmates, but a Doctor Fulla and a Teacher Fulla are expected soon. “These are two respected careers for women that we would like to encourage small girls to follow,” said the spokesman.
