Talking Doll Purchased at Walmart Says "Islam is the Light"


It's happening again. A woman in South Carolina is claiming that the doll she purchased for her daughter spews pro-Islamic phrases. This is not the first time this has been reported. This so-called rumor has been around for a few months now. Even the rumor investigating website Snopes has done an investigation. They claim the reports are false. Yet just yesterday another report has surfaced:

A local woman went to the Walmart on Robert Smalls Parkway to buy a doll for her daughters this Christmas.

What she ended up with was a Mattel Fisher-Price Toys baby doll that says “Islam is the light.” Jennifer Calandra of Burton, 28, bought the doll for her 5-year-old and 7-year-old daughters shortly after Thanksgiving.

Calandra said she thought she was going crazy when she first heard the phrase about a week after buying the toy. She exchanged the $20 doll Dec. 22 for a new one, also from Walmart, thinking it could be a malfunction in the soundtrack of coos and baby babble. The second doll said the same thing.

Calandra is not the first to hear the Little Mommy Real Loving Baby Cuddle and Coo doll say, “Islam is the light.” Reports began popping up around the country this fall. Some reports say the dolls also say, “Satan is king.”

Fisher-Price Toys, which makes the dolls in China, could not be reached for comment Tuesday and is closed until Monday, according to an automated message for spokeswoman Juliette Reashor.

Walmart corporate spokeswoman Anna Taylor said the dolls were being removed from the Beaufort store’s shelves Tuesday. She said most stores still stock the doll because a product recall has not been issued.
Well, you can judge for yourself. here is video of the doll in question. It sure sounds to me like it's saying "Islam is the light". if not, then what is it saying?
