A few months back there was a minor uproar surrounding "Islam is the light," a phrase which some people thought they heard uttered by both a talking baby doll and a children's DS game.

It the villain characters are are uttering evil mechanical sounds like  "Islam is the light" or "Allah Akbar", then it should be considered normal.
