Photos: Check out these creative muslim outfits for Barbie dolls

According to Buzzfeed, she said she wanted a doll to inspire the Muslim girl child, that looks like her, that represents her own cultural and religious background. She said it will create a sense of value and inspire them to be more confident, more driven, to believe more in themselves which leads to an appreciation of the girl-child and her modest lifestyle.
Londoner Alexanda Kotey unmasked as member of Jihadi John's ISIS execution cell
A 'nice, polite and well-spoken' Londoner has been unmasked as a member of the notorious ISIS execution cell once led by Jihadi John.
Alexanda Kotey is reportedly part of the murderous gang, dubbed the “Beatles” because of their UK accents and thought to be responsible for the beheadings of 27 hostages.
The 32-year-old grew up in Shepherd's Bush in west London, is half-Ghanaian, half-Greek Cypriot and an avid QPR fan.
Exposed by an ITV investigation, he was from a family of dress cutters and lived just under two miles from Mohammed Emwazi, the real name of the now dead Jihadi John.
It is not clear whether Kotey's nickname was 'George' or 'Ringo'. His whereabouts are currently unknown, according to the Washington Post.
Kotey reportedly attended London’s Al-Manaar mosque with Emwazi and a third Brit, Aine Davis.
Davis was exposed as being a member of ISIS, a close associate of Emwazi and a suspected member of the 'Beatles' gang last November.
Speaking to ITV News yesterday, an acquaintance of Davis and Kotey said: "I wasn't so surprised [Kotey] always had a lot of currency and pulled a lot of people into his orbit.
Ron McKay, a spokesman for Mr Galloway, said the latter had not heard Kotey's name until press reports today.
He said: "It (the aid convoy) pre-dates the formation of IS, and there were something like 120 vehicles and around 500 people on it.
At the time security sources have revealed he was held with a group of others who could have been planning an attack in Istanbul in parallel with the Paris outrage.
The source said: “Davis is a figure with key responsibilities within Islamic State and he wasn’t caught alone. He was within a group."

"He was a nice, polite and well-spoken person he was brooding and could be capable of plotting things behind the scenes.
"He radiates a road man influence, someone who has had a lot of experiences in life, had a lot of hardships and people younger than him, who haven't, look up to him and he can speak to people on the level.
"He could have been in trouble with the police, he was like a politician, and he works the room. People were dispossessed and he was a magnet for those people, he understands that energy.
"It was Alex most definitely who was the lynchpin, the main recruiter person who sucked people into his orbit not the mosque. The mosque did so much to keep these people at the fringes."Kotey - described as a “quiet and humble” football fan - travelled to the Middle East in 2009 during an aid convoy which was reportedly organised by politician George Galloway. Friends have not heard from him since.
Ron McKay, a spokesman for Mr Galloway, said the latter had not heard Kotey's name until press reports today.
He said: "It (the aid convoy) pre-dates the formation of IS, and there were something like 120 vehicles and around 500 people on it.
"Neither he nor I - as I was also on it - have any recollection of this guy.
"His name wasn't known to George before now. It is entirely possible that they could have been on that trip, but George just doesn't know the name."Davis - a close friend of Emwazi - was detained in Istanbul last November, according to Turkish officials.
At the time security sources have revealed he was held with a group of others who could have been planning an attack in Istanbul in parallel with the Paris outrage.
The source said: “Davis is a figure with key responsibilities within Islamic State and he wasn’t caught alone. He was within a group."

Texas teen kills mom, 2 neighbors, then himself
A 19-year-old killed his mother and two neighbors before turning his gun on himself in a shooting that brought SWAT and various emergency vehicles to a rural area in Texas, authorities said Sunday.

Mendeke said investigators haven't determined a clear motive for the shootings. Westerburg lived with his mother in a small cabin about 20 yards from the Nortons' mobile home on the brothers' property.
Phinny Norton, 60, had some "sort of romantic relationship" with Westerburg's mother, 42-year-old Jennifer Diane Jacques, Mendeke said. Deputies had been called out to the property in the past because of domestic disputes but "nothing violent," Mendeke said.
Authorities arrived at the scene after a teenage witness called them. The teenage boy was with Arthur Norton, 58, when they saw shotgun shells and broken glass as they approached the Nortons' mobile home, Mendeke said.
"Mr. Norton enters the house," Mendeke said. "The kid who was with him hears and sees a gun blast and sees Mr. Norton fall to the floor" before running to call authorities.
When officers arrived they heard another gunshot. Not knowing whether there were multiple gunmen or whether the gunman was dead, authorities surrounded the homes and began evacuating people nearby.
It was during that search that they found Jacques' body. The family's dog had also been killed.
Mendeke said he called in about 50 to 60 officers from different agencies as well as a Texas Department of Public Safety SWAT team out of caution. Authorities closed the road leading to the property and they stayed there overnight.
"I didn't know how many shooters I had in the Norton residence when I found the mother," he said. "You're looking at farm- and ranchland. You could get into a dangerous situation."
The SWAT team finally entered the Nortons' mobile home on Saturday afternoon and found the Norton brothers and Westerburg dead inside. Mendeke said Westerburg had shot himself in the head.
