Fulla Doll
BrooklynKat over at Just to the Left, has posted a little story about the hottest doll for girls in the Muslim world. Instead of girls in the Middle East having to contend with "the anorexic blond-bimbo Barbie" -- they now have Fulla -- as anorexic as Barbie, but, with "Muslim values." Translation: Fulla knows her place in a man's world; in a Muslim world. She comes complete with a black abaya, head scarf and prayer mat -- and if she steps out of line, or catches the eye of a boy, she will be severely beaten, tortured and killed for dishonouring her doll line. Fulla is a Muslim doll for the ages.

this is so not true ... looks like you've never been to the muslim/arab world before, and if you did then you must be blind&deaf ... don't try to prove the opposite because you can never know about islam more than me, i'm a 24 years old muslim girl lived in different arab countries & visited many others, wearing hejab was my own decision in the age of "18", all my siblings are boys and i do whatever i want such as study/work/hanging-out/etc., i have best friends from both genders and my family knows them very well, been in love (not sexualy) ... bottom line, muslim girls are just like any girls around this world, our religion never blocked us from living our lives and not knowing about this fact makes you ignorant
sorry if my comment wasn't nice ... i don't even like this doll, but i really felt offended by your words
You're an idiot if you wear a hejab of your own choosing. If you're a real Muslim, then you should study the fucking Koran before mouthing off gibberish. Nowhere in the Koran does it speak of women needing to, or necessarily having to wear clothing to be modest. Know your religion; know your gender; and know what choices you have to make, and what choices you allow others to make for you.
And I'm not at all sorry if my response wasn't nice. I'm choosing to be intolerant of intolerance.
Wake up. You're doing your gender and religion a disservice.
