Assalamu Alaikum my Muslim friends...
Remember me?
I'm glad I stumbled over this thread :)
Firstly, I think I've misunderstood the article. From what I gather there's no money involved... it's a <i>donation</i>. But for arguments sake let's say that the program is marketing these toys.
Okay... so the way I see it, God can transcend absolutely anything... including talking action figures.
I pay my Theology lecturers & authors thousands of dollars annually to teach me about Christianity but I never think for one second that they're using Jesus Christ to make money.
I understand that this kind of thing is strictly forbidden in Islam & that's fine but I guess it just goes to show that we have different perspectives. Personally, I wouldn't worry about this too much... especially if I'm not a Christian. At the end of the day only God can judge the intentions of all involved. This issue has little (if any) relevance for someone who is deeply immersed in Christianity like I am.
Peace & love from Lebanon xoxo
