Barbie converts to Islam

By THE WASHINGTON TIMES

Western culture has lost another battle in the clash of civilizations as Barbie dons the burqa. Burkha Barbie, by Italian designer Eliana Lorena, will be among the dolls auctioned by Sotheby’s in a benefit for the nongovernment charity Save the Children. The message to little girls worldwide: Abandon all hope.

We are surprised that Save the Children is so excited about Burkha Barbie. By rights, it should condemn the doll. By its own accounts, Save the Children seeks to create “a world in which every child is ensured the right to survival, protection, development and participation.” We wonder if Burkha Barbie will have acid thrown in her face if she removes the burqa, which is the current fad among hard-core Islamists in Afghanistan targeting schoolgirls who abjure the offensive garment. If the doll were anatomically correct, we might expect to see Genital Mutilation Barbie.

As this new wave of political correctness seizes the imagination and occupies the toy industry, we could well see Suicide Vest Ken being stopped at a checkpoint by “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” G.I. Joe.

 

I guess the billion or so Christians will have to wait a little longer for Bible Barbie and Charismatic Catholic Ken.
