Earlier today, I read about a Fisher Price doll, the Cuddle and Coo doll. A parent heard the doll say “Islam is the light.” Seriously.
I thought that she must have just misheard the doll or might even be making the whole thing up so I went to see for myself.
It’s true. It certainly sounds like the doll says “Islam is the light.” I was still skeptical but crazybengal has heard it as well. The doll mostly just babbles or says ‘mama’ so a sing songy phrase is unusual and I can’t think of anything else that the doll might be saying. It certainly seems that the statement “Islam is the light” was intentionally installed on the dolls. By whom, I can’t even begin to guess. The dolls were made in China. There are Chinese Muslims.
So far, nothing on the Fisher Price website. Some stores are pulling the doll after customer complaints but others are just offering refunds.
By the way, if you watch the original news report about the doll, this is not about hate and the doll doesn’t say anything that sounds like “Satan is king.” Exaggerating the problem doesn’t help. The issue is that the doll is promoting a religion. No thanks.
It is clearer if you close your eyes and just listen to the audio.

I don’t see anyone laughing. Can’t you face the fact that the doll is saying “Jesus is the Light”? Can’t you handle the truth?

whether you like it or not, the sun can’t be hidden by a riddle!!
The truth has come this time from a doll!
It is annoying for every one to know that the religion that they have grown up with is not true, but if you stay with it knowing that it is not the straight path, then enjoy your short happy life because it won’t return!!!
WAKE UP PEOPLE!!
WAKE UP PEOPLE!!

THE LIFE IS ONLY ‘ONE’ CHANCE, DON”T WASTE IT THINKING THAT YOU ARE DOING GOOD.
