I Heard about this on the radio and frankly it pisses me off for many reasons. This doll is muttering how islam is the light and the fact that it is a doll and it's sold to little children can confuse them about their believes and even encourage them on the religion through a shady attempt at converting youths. All I have to say is that because of this little escapade muslims who already face enough discrimination in this country will be interogated even more. It's sad really. Target however denies all allegations, saying that the dolls are just speaking in gibberish which is complete bull.

First off, this has nothing to do with Target.

Second, I find it very disturbing that people are throwing a huge fit about this but if the doll said "God bless", it would be adorable.

Actually It would be off store shelves in a heart beat. Even though this country was found on Christianity there are many people who don't believe in it.  Try to open your eyes.

Hahahahaha. Oh my god. I can't believe that made it into the news. I work at Target and this doll, we've been debating whether or not this thing was actually saying that. Wow. Good stuff.

You can find this doll at Toys R us besides Target. Why the fuck are you singling out target for?

Also, when i heard this on the news, I actually didn't know what the baby was saying until somebody suggested the islam phrase. Overall I think it sounds like a story similar to seeing the face of satan in the 911 towers burning or something of that sort. Its only there when you point it out, meaning you are the one making something out of nothing.

It's subliminal messaging/pavlovian training, they are telling us what there is to be heard, if they told us that is said, Jesus shits on toast, we'd hear Jesus shits on toast, it's really simple.  I hate how much this is played up in our media, I'm sure there will be a lawsuit.

Stupid that people made the doll in the first place.  Stupid that people got all up in arms about it.  Stupid that the media are covering it.  Welcome to America.

It doesn't sound like it's saying "Islam is the light" to me. It sounds like it's just speaking random baby talk that happens to sound vaguely similar to it.

But it probably says on the box that it is religious, this you are thinking is just a doll that makes baby sounds, when could babies talk??

I'll tell you who needs to open their eyes...
Also, Fr33lanc3r, I've never heard the term "pavlovian training," but I know you're referring to classical conditioning, and I don't think you quite get that concept. This isn't it.

Correct sir, I am refering to classical systematic conditioning.  If you tell people that something looks one way enough, they will see it that way, take this example:

Can You tell me what is in the picture on the right.

If you couldn't see anything but a grilled cheese, go to this site.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/4034787.stm

Now do you see it?

This is simple, I watched the video before I read the article, and turned off the sound until the baby came on, and did not hear what they were saying it was saying.
It's classical conditioning at its finest.
