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.
