Doll pulled from shelves for satanic and Islamic messages.
Not sure this belongs in politics but tossed it in here anyway. I would assume if there was anything to this, it was a factory programmer with a sick sense of humor more than anything, but it is probably nothing more than freak coincidence.

I don't think that satan and islam light go together very well. 
The quality of audio equipment can distort sound files so it's possible that cheap speakers are in some of the dolls. Who knows? It's pretty strange.

I listened to the supposed "Islam is the light" track, and I didn't hear a thing. Now I'm sure if you're an overly paranoid parent with a fear of Satan or muslims, you might hear something - but all I hear is a bunch of baby talk. What a waste of time and money. People are too sensitive these days. Now, if it was as apparent as the demonic furby, then I might think something's up.
For those who don't know about the demonic furby: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBy_XzZ5ivQ
(And no, it's not real, it's just a prank.)

I read about this last week and it was so weird. I am so glad that I have boys and they don't have any talking toys. I can't remember any talking toy that hasn't had issues, I remember Elmo (I don't remember which one) had issues that made the news.
