This post from Islamophobia Watch will make your stomach turn:
A computer game in which players control an American soldier sent to “wipe out the Muslim race” has been condemned as offensive and tasteless by a British Muslim group. The goal of Muslim Massacre, which can be downloaded for free on the internet, is to “ensure that no Muslim man or woman is left alive”, according to the game’s creator.
Players control an “American Hero” armed with a machine gun and rocket launcher who is parachuted into the Middle East. Users progress through levels, first killing Arabs that appear on screen and later taking on Osama bin Laden, Mohammed and finally Allah.
The game’s creator, a freelance programmer known as Sigvatr, described the game on the SomethingAwful.com website as “fun and funny”. In a “How you can help” section, he writes to visitors: “Don’t whinge about how offensive and ‘edgy’ this is.”
And we wonder why the war on terror is perceived as a war on Islam. Reminds me of when Iowa Jane Republican spoke on NPR last year about how she was so proud of the troops who had died in Iraq “because they are the ones keeping us free and the ones keeping those Muslims out of our country.”
In other right-wing European news, a “Stop Islam” rally flopped in Germany over the weekend.

If the baseless demonization of Islam in western media does not cease, hostilities between the Islamic and non Islamic world will only escalate… or is this the plan? If the Jewish people wish to improve relations with the Muslims, visible condemnation of anti-Islamic propaganda would be a great step forward. But that is just my humble opinion.
The hypocrisy of Islamic apologists knows no bounds:

The concept of hypocrisy is lost on these people.
That’s a terrible thing to create..
I agree with the last post. We need to be finding ways to get along not spreed the Hate. I do not want my children growing up thinking that the Muslims are bad people and I don’t want Muslims to think that I am a bad person for not having there religious beliefs. We need to start getting along before its to late for everyone.
I think this game is fine due to the fact that if the Muslims were smart enough to program a game they would do the same thing.
here are just a few quotes out of the koran.the holy book of the Muslims.they follow
its example and commands to the very letter.so every word in it take seriously,this
is how they think and act,it is their way of life.
IX. 5-6: Kill those who join other gods with God wherever you may find them.
17.10 : And that (as for) those who do not believe in the hereafter, We have prepared for them a painful chastisement.
17.16-17: When we decide to destroy a population, we send a definite order to them who have the good things in life and yet transgress; so that Allah’s word is proved true against them: then we destroy them utterly. How many generations have we destroyed after Noah? And enough is thy Lord to note and see the Sins of his servants.
8.37: In order that Allah may separate the impure from the pure, Put All the impure ones (Non-Muslim—atheists, Jews), one on top of the another in a Heap and cast them into Hell. They will be the ones to have lost.
and when suicide bombings happen,or when an Islamic soldier is killed,this is what they think is going to happen.
“Paradise is an abode where there are 80,000 servants and seventy-two wives, over which stands a dome decorated with pearls, aquamarine, and ruby as wide as the distance from Al-Jabiyyah [a Damascus suburb] to Sana’a [Yemen].”’
“Each time we sleep with a houri we find her virgin. Besides, the penis of the Elected never softens. The erection is eternal; The sensation that you feel each time you make love is utterly delicious and out of this world and were you to experience it in this world you would faint. Each chosen one [i.e., Muslim] will marry seventy [sic] houris, besides the women he married on earth, and all will have appetizing vaginas.”
of course you will you will,of course.jump on that bus and blow up innocent people and you will
forevermore be in paradise.there wont even be a body to mourn over.
“...sex is seen entirely from the male point of view, women’s sexuality is admitted but seen as something to be feared, repressed, and a work of the devil.”
“a cheap rug in your house is more valuable than a woman” Muhammad quote.
“those who do not convert to Islam shall be put to the sword”
the list goes on and on.
I hope to hell it sells billions of copies so that we can finally show the rest of the world what kind of schmucks and low scum Christian American Terrorists have finally sunk to. Yes, let’s proclaim that we are the best Democracy to the LARGER Muslim and Hindu population of the world while Bush-loving Christian terrorists are sitting in the back room blowing any non-Christian-loving charicature.
It is tasteless and tacky but you can’t control people who have nothing better to do but design racist videogames whose point is to promote genocide. the best we can do is to ignore them.
It is tasteless but the fact is people buy them. And if people buy, there will be manufacturers who profide them regardless of the morality of it all.
The market is there and because of that, developers will take advantage. It’s bad but that’s how the world is.
