Cuddle N'Coo doll talking trash? It's not everyday that someone walks in the office with a plastic garbage bag in his hand.

Last Friday morning, Bert Williams walked into the Liberal office with a plastic garbage bag. He said, "I know you're wondering what's in this bag, and when I tell you it's a baby doll, you're going to even wonder more."

Williams asked if we had heard about the Little Mommy Cuddle N'Coo doll made by Fisher Price. He proceeded to tell about the doll and how he came to acquire it.

The doll on store shelves across the nation is causing a controversy. Some believe the doll carries a religious message that's inappropriate for children of the age group at which the doll is aimed.

Many parents are out- raged and want the doll removed from store shelves. To date, Mattel, the parent company of Fisher Price, has refused to recall the doll. Some stores have removed the doll. Some have not.

While the doll appears to utter "Islam is the light," the company denies that is actually what it is programmed to say. Mattel insists that Little Mommy Cuddle 'n Coo features realistic baby sounds, including cooing, giggling, and baby babble, with no real sentence structure. The toy company claims the only scripted word the doll says is "mama."

Mattel also contends that because the original sound track is compressed into a file that can be played through an inexpensive toy speaker, actual sounds may be imprecise or distorted. Jan Markell, founder and director of Olive Tree Ministries, is skeptical about Mattel's explanation.

The doll features realistic baby sounds including cooing, giggling, and baby babble with no real sentence structure.

However, if you listen closely, the doll appears to say in the middle of the jabbering, "Islam is the light."

Williams' 20-month-old daughter, Harley, received the doll as a gift for Christmas. After listening to the doll several times and agreeing that was what she was saying, the parents immediately took the doll away. "The doll is made in China and if they are putting messages like that in a doll, what else are they doing on the inside of the doll?" Williams commented.

Some people also claim they can hear it mumble, "Satan is king," in one track and then "Islam is the light" in another.

"It's stunning. I can't believe that someone would do this and sell this to babies. It's for ages two and up, so I mean, there is no warning, nothing," Williams said.

Mattel, the parent company of Fisher Price, said the doll contains no religious messages.

In a statement released by Mattel, the company said, "The Little Mommy Cuddle N' Coo dolls feature realistic baby sounds including cooing, giggling and baby babble with no real sentence structure. Because the original sound track is compressed into a file that can be played through an inexpensive toy speaker, actual sounds may be imprecise or distorted."

When Bert Williams brought the doll into the Liberal office to let Terry Toole hear it, the editor said, "Even being a bit hard of hearing, there is no doubt that the recording in the doll said, "Islam is the light." It would be a good buy if the child given the doll is of the Islamic community or religion. It is not one that I would want Christians to have. As in much of the 'Made in China' stuff, buyer beware."
