Pretty sure we know what’s on Chelsea Clinton’s Christmas list this year.
LOVE this. Barbie made their first hijab-wearing "Shero" doll in honor of American fencing star Ibtihaj Muhammad: https://t.co/tzcEkUsJ9w

From People.com:
Barbie’s breaking barriers! Ibtihaj Muhammad was the first-ever U.S. Olympic athlete to compete wearing a hijab at the 2016 Rio Olympic games. And now she has her very own Barbie — the first to ever wear a hijab in the brand’s 58-year history.
A one-of-a-kind doll made in her likeness was unveiled at Glamour’s Women of the Year Live Summit Monday, as the latest doll in Barbie’s “Shero” line (that would be female heroes), a program that celebrates boundary-breaking women intended to inspire the next generation.
Alrighty then.
And I love that little girls everywhere will be able to remove the hijab from this Barbie and free her from oppression.

Preach!
So Islamic law which denies women basic human right is ok as long as we make a doll with a Hijab?

Ho ho ho?
Barbie dolls come anatomically correct, so I guess it's safe to assume there's no female genital mutilation

Eeeeek.
I guess you have no idea what the Hijab symbolizes? It means women may not show their hair & body parts b/c the "belong" to men & can't have freedom. But hey, let's celebrate ? ?♀️?♀️?♀️?♀️?????♀️?♀️?♀️?♀️

You spelled "SHARIA" wrong

Hey, we didn’t say it.
We laughed at it, but we didn’t say it.
