And why was mine? It didn't have any racial comments on Muslims.

To those who expressed their sympathy for my pledge sister, thank you. I cannot give any more information concerning her death because her family wants to see her children, of course.
I did want to emphasize that I was able to find some sort of closure by reading the books that I suggested. I had to realize that she made certain choices that lead to her death, and there's nothing I can do about it. Her last letter to me - smuggled out of the country in a friend's shoe lining - will haunt me the rest of my life.
I don't have a hate on for Muslims, as most of what the religious police do is not part of the Qu'ran. Please realize that.

Oh ok Bethany! No offense taken at all! I figured you were referring to the prophet and not just a general name. And yes it's THE most common male name among Muslims (as a first or middle name). I even have a girl friend whose middle name is Mohammed.

If your post was deleted it was offensive or referred to an offensive post.

I could only think of one other common Muslim name and it would have been inappropriate and probably offensive. Thanks for the note...

I did not delete the cursing thread, I unstuck it. If you do a search you will find that it is still there.
What I hate is when people post things that they *know* are going to offend someone. I'm starting to think that they do it just to take another minute out of my day.
And by the way, if you have a question, why don't you PM me instead of hijacking a thread and accusing me of something AGAIN.

Don't forget the 3rd book, "Princess Sultana's Circle"...all great books!
FWIW: It should be clarified that this doll, "Razanne" is not a Barbie, because "Razanne" is not made by Mattel (the creator of Barbie). "Razanne" is made by this company here: http://www.noorart.com/razanne.shtml

My opinion is that you are not a very fun person. Hold on, wait that is my opinion and you may not agree. I'm not violating any rule so I'm not sure why my post was deleted.

*Hijack*
I would think that moderators are here to make sure that discussions stay basically on topic and not degenerate into juvenilia. But I guess that it's a reflection of my advanced age.
*end hijack*
AND THIS IS MY OPINION:
Now as for the doll itself, I see no problem with that at all. Remember, there are AfAm, Latino and Asian-American dolls on the market and have been for years. Such dolls are very important because they help, along with positive message from the parents, the child to develop a strong self-image, etc. Black dolls were just coming on the market in the late 1960s, when I was a child.
