When I was young, Barbie represented the Western female ideal. She was an astronaut, doctor, lawyer, veterinarian, scientist, teacher — she was young, beautiful and free. I imagined my life through her while whipping her around in her Austin Healey pulling up to her Barbie dream house.
Oh how the mighty iconic have fallen.
From that to this:

It reminds me of those photos of Iran and Afghanistan, before and after the burka.
The new Barbie is modeled after a failed American Olympian whose only claim to fame is she wears a hijab. What next? Barbie sex slave? Barbie child bride? Clit cut Barbie?
Where is Hindu Barbie? Buddhist Barbie? Jewish Barbie (actually Barbie was invented by a Jewish woman)? Bahai Barbie? Zoroastrian Barbie? Church of Scientology Barbie?
Why Muslim Barbie? Look at her vile tweets:
New Barbie Is Modeled After American Olympian Who Wears a Hijab
She said that having a doll modeled on a strong Muslim woman was “revolutionary,” particularly at a time when some of the national discourse is fraught with bigotry.
“There is so much focus on Muslim women in hijab, and oppression and being docile,” she said. “This is flipping this entire bigoted narrative on its head.”
The hijab-wearing Barbie is part of the “Shero” line of dolls from Mattel that is based on inspirational women who are breaking social barriers, including Misty Copeland, who was the first African-American female principal dancer with the American Ballet Theater, and the plus-size fashion model Ashley Graham.
Introducing the toy at a women’s awards show highlighted Ms. Muhammad’s status as an accomplished athlete and the role that Barbies have played in the formative years of American girls
There was a range of reactions to the new doll online, and Ms. Muhammad said she had braced for a backlash.
“As a public figure who is Muslim I am very accustomed to trolling — that is a part of my life,” she said. “But it is still very shocking to me to read the very negative comments about dolls. We are still in a moment where we are unearthing this bigoted America that we all hoped and prayed did not exist.”
Ibrahim Hooper, the spokesman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations, said that after the doll was announced, he heard a radio broadcast about it that included derogatory and sarcastic language, including whether the doll would be “strapped with bombs.”
Our columnist Andrew Ross Sorkin and his Times colleagues help you make sense of major business and policy headlines — and the powe
“The haters are out in force against this,” he said. “Hijab is like a red flag to the Islamophobes.”

Video games are far superior and more customizable anyway.
Anyway, when a person like her makes up stories about Israel being an Apartheid State, what it does is inspire terrorism from the radicals in her group.
I’ve come across one video game that featured islamic propaganda about the “apartheid” state of Israel.

Actually, they should just make a doll consisting of a black hijab on a stand to prop it up, eliminate the doll entirely, and enjoy their increased profit margin—who needs an actual doll? No one can see it.
Criticism of this doll is justified because the person it is based on keeps spreading lies about Israel being an Apartheid State. Which means, good people have a right to point out that the HIJAB is a symbol of Apartheid in many Muslim countries.
If she supports the Palestinians, she supports a terrorist movement.
Her job as a “moderate’ is to deflect attention away from the terrorists and right-wingers in her group.
It’s also to deflect attention away from the racism and sexism in her community – which is what the Hijab represents.
The Hijab Barbie deserves criticism because the lady it is based on is a Muslim Nationalist.
She goes around framing Israel as an Apartheid state, when the Hijab is a symbol of gender Apartheid.

What kind of disgusting company is it that it would produce a doll that represents the people causing death and mahem all over the world and represents hatred, intolerance and bigotry?
When will Ken be getting his beheading sword? Will Mattel be selling a burka barbie? Having this hijab only for women is racist. Men are entitled to wear burkas as well.
There is NO such thing as a Moderate Muslim…….ask any muslim…
The hijab is a symbol of the lower status of women in the House of
Islam, and in the House of War, it is often a public declaration of
sharia adherence and supremacist pride.

Its sharia/Islam drip by drip . we have Islamonazis demanding we stop honoring American soldiers during Memorial day and instead honor Jihadis killed by American Soldiers just the way Palestine govt does to its jihadis !
“Hard to believe”
I believe it, Suresh.
CAIR members insinuate it all the time.
The question is, how can a Muslim Nationalist be compatible with American society?
How can it be possible for a Muslim nationalist not to resent western society the way that this lady does.
and how can Judeo-phobia ever be compatible with civilized society?
And how can it be that they have been allowed to invade our country trying to over thro our government , now that is the question who is responsible for this ? and what to do about it strange when under attack we used to know how to handle it ?
Any islamo-pig that even suggests we stop honoring our war heros, should be fined and have their citizenship status reviewed. That should not be tolerated whatsoever.

Apartheid in many Muslim countries.
Yes. Example: apartheid state of Saudi Arabia. Is any Jew living there now, or any non-Muslim allowed to visit Mecca or Medina (not that any one would want to)? No. Apartheid state! Is Israel banning any Arab or Mohammedan to live in Israel? No. NOT apartheid state!

Now you have the makings of “Jihadi” Barbie able to go around and behead all the former Infidel Barbies and of course the Kafir Kens. Mattel appears to be rotting from the inside, like all the other industries who have dug themselves a corporate hole by insane SJW appeasement. Can BLM Barbie and Antifa Barbie be very far behind? Mattel doesnt just make dolls, so say hello to ‘goodbye’ when it comes to the company’s ancillary products’ revenues. Then, too, they’ll invent an emergency Damage Control Barbie. Is this the egregious hijacking of Australia’s motto “Putting another one on the Barbie!”? Dolls are for children, not suicidal CEOs to play with, unless you are Homer TruD’oh, Liberal leader of the Nuclear Parliamentary Sewage plant in Canada.

Back in January, before Trump was inaugurated, Ms. Mohammed sent out a tweet that she had been detained at a US airport after coming home from Europe because of Trump’s “Muslim ban.” After some of her liberal followers had a meltdown, a few less gullible people pointed at that there was no ban and that even if there were, it would not apply to her because she is a US citizen. Thereafter, she refused to provide any details about the incident, including the date of the event, her flight number or the airport where the alleged “Islamophobic” detention took place.
Six months before that, she got a security guard fired because he spelled her name wrong on a pass card for a fencing event, claiming doing so was “racist.”
Her tweets should be sent to Mattel; showing what a hateful person she is (what muslim isn’t)..
Compare this doll to the others: astronaut, soccer player, etc, this hijab wearing doll completely wipes out any strides for women those other dolls depict. Islam has its few females which they put in the public eye as the false face of islam.
Even ten years ago this wouldn’t have happened..What a sham.
Mattel may have selected her as known muslim hater-activist… Olympian, you say?

The invading Islamic supremacists have got this down to a science…provoke…get backlash…then play the victim. They never have to acknowledge or accept the evil within their fascist ideology—and if there is any evil terrorists screaming Allahu Akbar…. they just casually dismiss them with the standard taqiyya by saying they aren’t Islamic. Leftists call the freedom fighters– “Nazis”– because they want to preserve our country, heritage and culture in the West. We have to relentlessly refer to Muslims as IslamoNazis to get them out from under the “cover” of a religion or minority “race.” “It’s the ideology, Stupid!” campaign that has to be waged to counter Islamization.

So, what does this mean for Ken? Will Barbie make him convert. Will Barbie put out a fatwa on Ken. Or, does Barbie now “lawyer up” and sue Ken for ‘exploiting’ her all those years. I’m sure, now that Barbie is now converted to the ‘religion of peace’ she will accept Ken as he is, bacon-eater and all.

So Barbie celebrates racist bigots now? I’ll always remember her for a really great newspaper article about her during the olympics. It said that “she is devout to her hijab”. That’s some idle worship.
Of course Barbie didn’t make a doll on the Tunsian runner who had all the death threats.
