Chicago Muslims Irate Over ‘Suicide Bomber’ Doll Parody

[Purveyor]

Members of Chicago’s Muslim community denounced a parody greeting card depicting a muslim “talking doll” as a toy suicide bomber.

WGN-TV reported on Sunday that the card, which features phrases like “Pull string for message, if you dare” and “She’ll blow your brains out,” was brought to the attention of the local chapter of the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) after a woman spotted it inside a stationary store. The doll featured on the card is a take-off of an actual toy, the “Aamina the Muslim Girl” doll.

Ahmed Rehab, the chapter’s executive director, said the greeting card plays to “an ugly ravenous stereotype that suggests that anybody who looks a certain way is a terrorist.”

According to The Daily Mail, the card was made by NobleWorks, a New Jersey-based company that specializes in caustic parody cards.

1. Suicide bombing was invented by the Tamil Tigers

For most of its history it has been a nationalist, not a religious, resistance technique. 1, count them, 1 Islamic organization has sanctioned it. Even AQ is dubious about the theology of it.
