Muslim Massacre Game Creates Waves

A free computer game, called Muslim Massacre, available online has angered a lot of muslim groups in Britain. But reading the intro to the game "The United States of America has declare war on islam! Take control of the American hero and wipe out the muslim race with an arsenal of the world's most destructive weapons!" it seems like taliban/al Qaida propaganda to me. AFP

LONDON (AFP) — British Muslims condemned as deeply offensive on Friday a computer game called "Muslim Massacre," which trumpets itself as a "game of modern religious genocide."

The game, which can be downloaded for free on the Internet, urges players to "wipe out the Muslim race with an arsenal of the world's most destructive weapons."[...]

"Anti-Muslim prejudice is already on the increase and needs to be challenged and not reinforced through tasteless and offensive stunts like this."

Players in the game -- the aim of which is to "ensure that no Muslim man or woman is left alive" -- control an "American Hero" wielding a machine gun and a rocket launcher parachuted into the Middle East.

The Ramadhan Foundation, a British Muslim youth organisation, voiced "deep condemnation and anger" at the game, accusing it of "glorifying the killing of Muslims in the Middle East."

"Encouraging children and young people in a game to kill Muslims is unacceptable, tasteless and deeply offensive," said the Foundation's chief executive, Mohammed Shafiq.

"If it was the other way around, with a game featuring Muslims killing Israelis or Americans, there would be uproar and rightly so," he said, urging ISPs to block the site.

Actually, there are many games out there that do just that. I've never seen any muslim groups bitch about those.
