[The following is a repost from Error Theory Blog]
What could be as evil as sneaking a memorial to the 9/11 terrorists onto the Flight 93 crash site? How about sneaking a hidden message of Islamic indoctrination into the soundtrack if an adorable baby doll, repeated every 30 seconds to thousands of 2-5 year old girls without parental knowledge?
If you haven’t heard it before, check out this AP video from October:
If Mattel wants to sell a doll that Muslim parents can use to brainwash their own toddlers, they need to label the doll as Islamic. Instead, Mattel has been engaged in outright cover-up for three months now, claiming that they “did a lot of tests” and found that the doll “just coos and says ‘mama’.”
Liars. If they even listened to the sound track they are fully aware that the suspicious segment is completely unlike the rest of the recording. In contrast to the inarticulate coos and burbles of the otherwise quite compelling baby sounds, the offending part is very clearly a sentence, almost staccato in its articulation.
The AP video above only contains the offending sentence itself. Here is the full sound track (five inserted indoctrinations in 2 minutes):
How many thousands of two year old girls are right now having their hearts opened by this doll’s repeated love cries, only to have a jihadist jab in his poison needle a hundred times an hour? This is the Islam of al Qaeda: a self proclaimed religion of deceit, using deceit to snake its tendrils around the most vulnerable members of our society.
Release the uncompressed audio file
Mattel’s claim that the injected sentence contains no Islamic message is just as fraudulent as its claim that there is no sentence. Here is a slowed down version of the sound-track:
The exact intonation is either “Islam is the light,” or “Iglam is the light.” Since “iglam” is not a word, and since the full segment is clearly spoken as a sentence, the intended word has to be Islam.
Mattel says that the doll’s audio “may be imprecise or distorted” because “the original sound track is compressed.” So why don’t they release the uncompressed file?
No one is hearing things that are not there. Mattel suggests that people are being influenced by “the power of suggestion,” but we can test that hypothesis.
If people can hear whatever they want, then they should also be able to hear a superficially similar Christian message: “Aslan is the light.” Yet even in compressed form, the recording very clearly does NOT say Aslan. The vowels and consonants are distinct. Mattel is in effect denying that there is such a thing as language.
This too is very similar to the Memorial Project. Defenders of the giant Mecca-oriented crescent fantasize in the newspaper that anyone can see Mecca-oriented crescents wherever they want, if they just look for them. No. The only reason anyone can see a half-mile wide Mecca-oriented crescent in the Crescent of Embrace memorial to Flight 93 is because architect Paul Murdoch put one there.
Mattel needs to conduct a real investigation and it needs to be transparent
Why should anyone ever buy a Mattel toy again when Mattel’s response to clear evidence that their toys are being used in a plot against children is an obviously dishonest cover up? It would make a lot more sense, if they want to stay in business, to conduct a thorough and transparent investigation of how the clearly out-of-place and apparently subversive segment of the sound track got included. The forensic history is on their hard drives. Mattel should uncover the jihadist plotters in their employ, or in the employ of their sub-contractors, then refer them to the FBI and sue them for fraud.
There is even reason to think that the plot goes beyond just the sound track, and involves the entire the Cuddle and Coo doll project. According to the Muslim ex-Marine who blogs as 5-Pillar Column, Mattel’s doll is also wearing a “hijab” (used by fundamentalist Muslim women to hide their hair).
Like the Islamic symbol shapes in the Flight 93 memorial, this is something that western society is not attuned to, so we don’t notice it, but Muslims immediately do. That doll has its hair covered:
5 Pillar speculates that it is the hijab that is causing “bigots” to take offense, but he seems to be the first one to have noticed that the doll can be seen as wearing a hijab.
Some versions of the doll show a wisp of hair, as Sharia law allows for girls, but all have the look of a proper hijab.
Pink version, shows wisp if hair. The hijab-like hair covering remains. (From MAMA’s Label That Doll home page.)
By itself, the possible hijab would be nothing, but together with the clearly articulated message of Islamic indoctrination, it suggests that the entire Cuddle and Coo team needs to be investigated. If Mattel is not forthcoming, the recourse is obvious.
Duped parents should sue Mattel into bankruptcy
Company officers evidently think that denial is the least damaging strategy for Mattel’s reputation and profitability. They need to be proved wrong. By covering up clear evidence that its product is being used as the vehicle for a jihadist plot against the children of its customers, Mattel has opened itself to tremendous liability. If they get sued into oblivion for the harm to children that their fraudulent denials are enabling, it will let other companies know that cover-up is not a good business decision.
Mattel did stop including the suspicious portion of the sound track in new production of their “Cuddle & Coo” doll, but instead of issuing a recall of the original dolls, the company is assuring the public that the warnings of Islamic intent have been investigated and been found to be without merit. That leaves untold thousands of these assault-toys preying on the minds of toddlers whose parents have been given false assurances, which continue to this day.
Here is Mattel’s October 17th statement:
The power of suggestion has a lot to do with it. Our department did a lot of tests. It just coos and says ‘mama.’ We will not be pulling the doll.
On Christmas eve Mattel reposted a dismissive statement that earlier had been withdrawn from their website without explanation:
The Little Mommy Cuddle ‘n Coo dolls feature realistic baby sounds including cooing, giggling, and baby babble with no real sentence structure. The only scripted word the doll says is “mama.”
There is a sound that may resemble something close to the word “night, right, or light.” To avoid any potential misinterpretation, we have eliminated that segment of the sound file from future production.
Because the original sound track is compressed into a file that can be played through an inexpensive toy speaker, actual sounds may be imprecise or distorted.
We remain confident in the high quality standards of our Little Mommy Cuddle ‘n Coo dolls.
By persisting in its dishonest denials, Mattel may have sealed its legal doom. Any lied-to parents out there who want to get rich in the service of a most important cause?
The Memorial Project is also headed for legal trouble. The Mecca orientation of the giant Crescent of Embrace makes it a mihrab—the central feature around which every mosque is built—and it is unconstitutional to build a mosque as a national memorial.
Anti-vigilance
Like the memorial project, Mattel got duped by a stealth jihadist. In the middle of our ongoing hot and cold wars against Islamic supremacism, such things are going to happen. 9/11 exposed the nature of our terror war enemies: that they hide amongst us, pretending to be trustworthy friends while plotting acts of war. There is no shame in being the victim of Islamic deception.
What is inexcusable is to be willfully blind to Islamic plots once they are uncovered. Flight 93 is supposed to be the symbol of our woken vigilance, yet time and again we see this anti-spirit of Flight 93: a determined refusal to be vigilant, enabling even discovered plots to proceed.
All who have learned about the hidden Islamic messages in either the jihadist baby doll or the Flight 93 memorial, please learn about the other. Maybe together we can stop them both.

Lub the rayra link. Moe cowbale pleace.
This 5 pillars guy has a nice blog. I’m gonna blogroll this guy, hes good!
I personally doubt that the inclusion of a phrase that sounds like “Islam is the light” was intentional. That would be plumb crazy for a profit-making corporation to do, and I can’t see some insider getting away with putting it in. I think they just messed up w/ the goo-goo technology.
Mattel should have made sure that the sounds were obviously non-verbal or very precise, like “Mama.” Dumb. They should let anyone who wants to return the doll for a gift certificate do so.
(The “hijab” bit is nonsense, IMO. It just looks like a baby cap, the kind newborns are routinely given at hospitals, the kind grandmas knit for the little munchkins.)
As for the Flight 93 memorial, that’s a different story. Groups that don’t have to make a profit are liable to do anything they damned well please. And it often pleases them to stick a knife in the heart of traditional America and twist it. *spit*

Mofos like them need to be fucking killed…
Oh no, not here too! This story is already making mincemeat out of Atlas Shrugs and Gates of Vienna for mockery blogs far greater than mine.
So, anyone remember the Teletubbie saying “Bite my butt” now? About the same sad sound quality. Oh, and I rechecked those infamous Disney clips too, the Lion King ’secret word’ wasn’t “sex” at all, it was “Islam”! And Alladin tells the tiger the Shahada instead of “good teenagers take off their clothes! It’s a great toy conspiracy! Ahhhhh!!!!
Lex & Anastasia – have you played the recording? When I first heard about this story, I thought it was nonsense as well. I listened to that recording with the intention of trying to hear something other than “islam is the light”. I’ve listened with the assumption “light” is actually “night”. I’ve tried coming up with words that might sound similar to “islam”, even in baby babble. I just can’t come up with anything else.
If you listen to the tape, you’ll hear that phrase is recorded slightly different than the rest. It sounds like that phrase (or series of babble, if you prefer) was recorded separately and then added.
Mattel needs to recall these toys and replace the recording.
Yeah, I listened to it when I posted on the GoV AND Atlas Shrugs posts on this subject. And when Sadly, No! posted on the hilarity of it all. It could be ANYTHING. A perfect example of hyper-focusing on Islam. Everything becomes a hammer.
I don’t think Mattel should allow even a question. The phrase does sound like “Islam is the light.” Maybe it is intentional, maybe it isn’t. Either way, the recording should be replaced.
Slow down the recording, keeping it within limits of normal adult pitch levels , which I can do with Sony Soundforge on my music pc setup. And there is absolutely no doubt that is says “Islam is the light” in a female voice, with even a middle eastern accent in tact. I went into this being highly suspicious of anything done on purpose by Mattel. I have always kept my common sense when dealing with issues like this, because paranoia only serves to discredit any legit situations. This is recording is extremely hard to pass off as purely coincidental accident.
Saying this I still haven’t gone around telling everybody I know that Mattel is trying to brainwash us or something. I proverbial knee jerk across the nation has exposed it enough.
If you don’t hear clearly Islam is the light, you are either not listening, or lying.
Lex.
I listened very closely. What would be the purpose of having a doll say that sentence VERY indistinctly and to children who won’t even understand it? What does Mattel have to gain at all? What, there’s some great Saudi buyout that we don’t know about? Mattel can only lose in this situation, and corporations don’t market known failures. KNOWN, since there’s already a boycott.
It’s as big a crock as people seeing what they wanted in Disney films and other talking toys of the recent past.
DJM,
Yes, I did listen to the recording. I believe that Mattel should give anyone who wants one a refund. Why? It was stupid to have any sounds on the recording that are VERBAL but are not absolutely and clearly innocuous—e.g., MAMA .
If I gave you a recording in Javanese or Bulgarian, and if you were listening for it, you could pick out a couple of phrases that sound very much (or even exactly) like an English phrase. This is the sort of thing can happen when you try to make the baby speak VERBAL gibberish. (For all we know, Mattel actually used garbled foreign language tapes to create the sound.)
The notion that Mattel did this on purpose is, IMO, absurd. The notion that some secret insider managed to sneak this in strains my credulity.
I nevertheless think Mattel should make any doll tapes unambiguous and that they therefore made a mistake with this one. They should admit their carelessness and satisfy their complaining customers with an apology, a refund, and a smile.
I don’t think Mattel did it on purpose, but I do think it is there. They should have pulled it and changed the recording and it would have stopped all of the mess.
It was a mistake, guys. Chill down. Look, they’ll remove the doll and produce one that sas “Obama is the ligth”. Happy?!!
You religious right guys sure are weirdos.
