It does sound like an Islamic utterance. Have you played it in the toy store?

I'd want one of those. Either gender, really.

It is called "Power Of Suggestion" InTX,you only hear it after someone tells you what to listen for. Example here.:
http://123beta.blogspot.com/2008/10/little-mommy-real-loving-baby-cuddle.html
I didn't hear it till after I was told (verbally) what to listen for.
Old trick on getting folks to hear what you want them to hear, look up "Backward Masking" on the web for some fine examples of this stuff.
Also, fear plays a big part in it.
Even if it really said, "Islam is Light", what's the problem?
I hear Christian crap all day, nobody is up in arms about that.
You WhiteFolk crack me up, seeing conspiracy in every shadow.

I think I've said it here before, but once I started to examine the root causes of my beliefs, I ended up with some really unexpected conclusions.

My favorite toy is the "Math is hard!" Barbie.
Wish I would've bought one before they were pulled.

It is a start of the celebrations for our new secret Muslim President! :jest: I was going to ask if something was wrong Suzanne, because you usually only post week to month old stories and this one is two months old, but I see that a bunch of news outlets have picked it up again.

Two things I've always known but it made sharper.:
1. Faith, NOT Religion which was created by humans to control humans.
Faith that the world will spin, the sun will come up, that time moves forward.
2. Human Nature. It is in our nature to dwell on the past, to only fear, to only look at the negative examples, to never grow, to reward bad behavior, to protect the bad folk instead of rewarding the good folk.
Religion is a crutch, it is the biggest killer of humankind.
"My Loving God is better than your Evil God" is what most religions teach.

Fisher-Price is angling for a bailout?
