This means war!
Bestseller in Mideast: Fulla "Barbie" With a Prayer Mat
Say what you will about Barbie, she’s an all-American babe. She and her friends come in every shade and hue that human skin comes in, she has every job a human being can possibly think of-- she’s an astronaut house mom for goodness sake! She is not defined by her job or her man (Ken, rather is defined by her), but rather by the aspirations of the little girl playing with her. Those hopes and dreams are-- or can be-- as endless as the American dream itself...
And now we have this... thing. This “Barbie for parents who want their child to have no future”. About the only thing of the American doll they kept were her outlandish proportions. Pfhaw. The fact that crushing the dreams of little girls is seen by Fundamentalists Muslims as a good thing is terrifying. Crush Fulla, win the war...
