I just played this game and I had to laugh..

Seriously.. have you seen/played it? The scary part about this game is Not the little guy going around shooting people.. (who don’t even look like stereotypical Muslims)

The scary part is the introduction where Dictator, er.. I mean President Bush is talking about all Muslims being Evil, and he asks for all countries come together to crush Islam with skill honor and courage.

If you listen to the intro you will see just how messed up Bush was. This is part of a real speech Bush made to the American people after 911.

In that light, can I see how the author was making fun of Bush’s wrong and radical policy? Yes I can.

Much if this is bull, fear and overkill. For most people who play video games they know.. just like watching tv or a movie, that it is not real. I have been playing video games since 1980 and I have not taken a single thing I have seen in a game to heart. I have shot millions of soldiers in the head from different countries all over the world and when I was done playing the game, never once felt like I wanted to go out and actually kill anyone.

The point is it is just a game. It was made for entertainment. If the author of the game really told people to go out and hurt Muslims that would be different.

Wow…there is nothing funny or cute about that game. How disgustingly shameful.

Well, the game is back up and there is no apology whatsoever. I did report the presence of the game as abuse and complained that it even appeared. I asked them if they thought issuing one called “Christian Crush” would be a big seller in the US….somehow I kind of doubt it.

I would recommend a lot of abuse reports.

How anyone could reasonably believe that such a game challenged western ideas is ridiculous. What they wre doing was advocating the genocide of a people. No amount of apology is going to make up for spreading that kind of hate.

Well, the site is not working anymore… but that’s a beside point..
The idea I wished to attract your attention towards, is to notice that the ones who attack others’ believes, are the ones who actually are calling for setting our lives without limits..
What a contradiction..!

It’s like I’m hearing the west saying, “You Should -freely- choose your own way, provided that its mine” :)

Yes indeed, we are in Ramadan, but this makes me reconsider that still the education about Islam for these American youngsters is very poor and can cause lot of damage somehow.

You can see an apology on the main site now:
http://www.muslimmassacre.com/

In the Apology he said:
“My intentions when releasing this project were to mock the foreign policy of the United States and the commonly held belief in the United States that Muslims are a hostile people to be held with suspicion.”

What I can say, Allah Yesamhoo = May the God forgive him.

and happy Ramadan to all Muslims all over the world.

I was outraged about this video game. It is not just an attack against Muslims, but against all religious people in the world. Where is the sancity of religion and belief? The creator should be tried for “crimes against humanity.” Please see my post on this subject at siwashindubai.blogspot.com
