To me it simplifies and demonizes the entire religion of Islam. I mean if it was "just" a doll, then I wouldn't have much of a problem, but the actual words that come out are clearly a misrepresentation of an entire group of people's beliefs.

It's as if my fictional "(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*) doll" said things like "Cornbread, Fryed Chiyecken and Watermelon are my favurite things!"

This type of doll just promotes stereotypes and bigotry against people of Islamic faith.
Couldn't have said it better.
