Indiana Mom: "Islam is the Light" Message in Child's Nintendo DS Game

January 27, 2009

GameCulture reports on the strange case of an Indiana mother who has complained that her 8-year-old daughter's Baby Pals game for the Nintendo DS speaks the phrase "Islam is the light."
Readers may recall that a remarkably similar controversy last fall centered around Fisher-Price's Little Mommy Cuddle and Coo doll. And, in fact, the mother in this case, Rachel Jones, was also one of those who complained about her child's Cuddle and Coo doll.
In regard to the doll controversy, Mattel issued a statement in October which said that the only scripted word was "mama" and other baby talk sounds were gibberish.
Urban Legends reports that an audio expert experimented with the Cuddle and Coo doll and found that the phrase most closely sounded like "It's not near the light."
In fairness, the sound uttered by the DS game sounds exactly like the one that caused so much controversy in regard to the doll. We're wondering if Crave, publisher of Baby Pals, somehow licensed the same digitized audio file.
GP: So, is this a case of anti-Islamic paranoia or subtle indoctrination of America's youth? What do you think, GP readers?

ROFL LOL I'm speechless by the stupidity in this

And even if the phrase was "Islam is the light" does it really matter? Sometimes it feels really good to live in a secularised country (and also not being religious at all)

(NOTE: the article also contains a youtube video if you click the link, I've not been able to watch it myself since I'm at work)

Stupid, baseless complaint is one thing. This lady seems like an ambulance chaser, searching for complaints (and possible litigation and class action?).

For the heck of it, I did a search for other possible complaints by this lady, and now I wonder if this is the same lady?
