markwolfe Veteran Posted September 16, 2008 Veteran Share Posted September 16, 2008 How is it pedantic to point out there is a difference between something you're born with and a set of beliefs that you choose? Because of the focus on a single word, rather than the far more important topic of inciting and glamorizing hate toward a specific group. ;) I suppose I should have used the word "myopic" (as in focus on a single word) rather than "pedantic". But I suppose I can look forward to a multi-post analysis of how I once again chose a less-than-appropriate word. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panacik Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 erm, i don't see an apology, the site looks the same as when it started and the download is still active Yeah, we noticed. Its very strange that he puts an appology like that up there only to pull it down and change to a downloadable game :s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amnesia Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 @steelhand, so you want to put the whole Middle East in one boat? Come to Qatar or the Emirates. Qatar houses the world's FIRST Freedom of Media center. Qatar also is host to religious inter faith dialogues. There are religions and races here AND none of them insult the other.

kronik Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 I say give the racists their game, cos it seems that seeing and hearing about Muslims getting killed daily on the news is starting to bore them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Canadian Posted September 19, 2008 Author Share Posted September 19, 2008 I don't think everyone has had a chance to read this and comment on it, so I thought I'd give this a bump to see if people are still interested in discussing this topic.

Neo Razgriz Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 Qatar...sorry, I got reminded of that Transformers scene in that place where Blackout totally whooped America's ass! In an ideal world, religion would not exist. Therefore, this game would not exist. Sadly, this is not the world we live in...yet. Deleting the game even from the creator's server, HDD and backup drives will not truly kill it off. Others could have downloaded it and may, in time, re-release it with alterations or none at all. So it's true that once something is out on the internet, it can never truly be destroyed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heatsketch Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 There is no such thing as "Islamophobia". Phobia denotes an unjustified, irrational fear. There is nothing irrational about fearing Islam. At least not if you aren't a muslim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azured Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 and your starting your neowin adventure with that post? to me a game is a game as a matter of fct not so long back hizbullah released a game called "under the ashes" where you play the role of a jehadist fighting the IDF, no real fuss perhaps because the game didn't have a title that specified a creed. for example BF2 has the MEC middle east coalition, that speak in arabic making them muslims for the larger part, so no one even notices that or gives it any attention because its not a direct insult, now the game under discussion was called say fight terrorism and had maybe different modes of play as in chose a faction i don't believe it would cause such a controversy after all there are numerous games that have the middle east as a setting.
