I'd like to state on the record that I don't have a problem with this. If we can have Christmas trees in the public square I don't see the issue with an Islamic doll.

Except it's not a pro-Islamic doll. It says "mama" and a bunch of babble.

John Gaudet says the sound is coming across distorted, especially since it's a toy speaker.

"People want it to say something that it's actually not; the ears can be deceiving," Gaudet said.

He put a microphone on the doll and went to work improving the toy's audio quality. In a matter of minutes the sound has been cleaned up.

Gaudet says he hears something a little different.

"It sounds like it's saying, 'It's not near the light.' "

Has anybody played it backwards, to find out the REAL secret message? "Kill mommy and daddy"? "Bomb the White House"? I bet if you were listening hard enough for that message, you'd find it.

Here's a guy who plays ir over and over again, so you can relly understand it;;

If it said "Jesus is the Light" or "Jesus is the King", no one would have complained.

Heaven forbid we say any other religion is the Light or equally beautiful!
