Since the
introduction of Barbie in our western world it was an instant hit. At least for
the western world. Why? Simply because
it reflects our western culture. Aspects of our culture are offensive to those whose cultures
prohibit, Barbie tends to exemplify certain things that we don't mind. In this
case: the bare arms and emphasized boobs, own lifestyle)
And if you
have a little knowledge of different cultures, you know that this contradicts
with others, such as the Islam. Therefore, New Boy Design made the Islamic Barbie,
called the Fulla doll.
After a
little research, I found out that in several
Islamic countries the Barbie doll
is forbidden by law, because she has to many Jewish characteristics. Barbie is
an invention of Zionists, designed to bring Muslim
girls in temptation. “This slut”(excuse me for my language) under the dolls has a boyfriend, loose
hair and can be dressed with a miniskirt or a swimsuit. Moreover, her female forms
are visible. So curious girls would even be
able to take off all of her clothes. It’s just a
doll, hello??
Anyway, Fulla's character is fully
consistent with the values of
the Islamic world, while the ‘Jewish’ Barbie is developed to infect innocent
girls with Zionists ideas. “Fulla is more than just a doll she is a role
model that emphasizes a balanced view”.
She is the only doll that is still covered by a thin swimsuit when
undressed. What does this means for her
view on her own body as this reflects the values of the Islamic world?
She always wears the most
modern clothes when she is indoors and when she goes out, se impresses with her
sophisticated ababya. I had to look it up what it means. Apparently It is a
long dress, with or without a headscarf, usually in dark, plain colors. Just
like other girls she likes to cook, read, study and praying. And because Fulla
is a modern girl she a attach a lot of importance to studying and working hard.
Some people just won’t
care about the introduction of this doll in our Western world, however I do
have my opinion about it. Barbie is
disallowed in countries as Saudi-Arabia and Iran because it does not reflects their culture. They believe it’s
normal to introduce it in our western world is a proof that some Muslims do not
accept our culture.
From a very young age to be Muslim girls
prepared for the role of conservative men they
have in mind: cooking, reading, praying,
do not go out without a headscarf.
But following their own lifestyle, way to success isn’t
possible because the Islamic law describes
the imposed role as normal/required.
