OIC demands kids video game be removed.

From Jihad watch, here is an article about how the UN OIC, (Organization of Islamic Councils) AKA Islamic nations block at the UN demand that a video game which shows various deities fighting each other be removed from the Internet. It indeed has been removed from several sites but I did find a place where it can still be found and did a screen cap of how the game looks and posted it below. It’s kid of fun to watch Buddha and Jesus kicking the crap out of Mohamed. Go over to Jihad watch and read the comments as well if you like.

Muslims condemn video-game where Jesus and Muhammad battle to the death

Let’s get ready to rumble!

The following article gives several reasons as to why Muslims are upset — it’s offensive to Muslims and Christians, it creates “intolerance,” it is “incendiary,” and so forth. Yet, towards the end, we get the following solitary sentence which probably most sums up Muslim ire: “Islamic law generally opposes physical depictions of the prophet.” Even though the game designers “offered a ‘censored’ option which blocks out the face of Muhammad,” that’s not good enough.

“Jesus vs. Mohammed? Video Game Upsets Islamic Group,” from Fox News, April 28:

CAIRO —
An influential Islamic group branded an online video game depicting religious figures fighting each other as offensive to Muslims and Christians and successfully demanded Tuesday that it be taken offline.In the game “Faith Fighter,” caricatures of Jesus, the Prophet Muhammad, Buddha, God and the Hindu god Ganesh fight each other against a backdrop of burning buildings.

God attacks with bolts of lighting and pillars of fire while the turbaned Muhammad can summon a burning black meteorite.

The Saudi-based Organization of the Islamic Conference, which represents most Muslim nations, said it should be removed from the Internet.

“The computer game was incendiary in its content and offensive to Muslims and Christians. … The game would serve no other purpose than to incite intolerance,” an OIC statement said.

Game designer Molleindustria told the Associated Press the game, which had been around for more than a year and played millions of times, was misunderstood, but had been removed.

“This was meant to be a game against intolerance and against the one-way Islamophobic satire of the Danish Muhammad cartoons,” Molleindustria said in an e-mail message. “So if a respectable organization didn’t understand the irony and the message, we failed.”

Islamic law generally opposes physical depictions of the prophet.

When a Danish newspaper in 2005 printed 12 cartoons showing negative portrayals of Muhammad, Muslims around the world were enraged.

Deadly protests erupted from Morocco to Indonesia, with rioters torching Danish and other Western diplomatic missions. Some Muslim countries boycotted Danish products.

The style of the game, with characters jumping, kicking and knocking each other out, mimics the martial-arts arcade games popular in the 1980s and 1990s.[…]

However, the authors of the game did offer a “censored” option, which blocks out the face of Muhammad…

Below please get a giggle out of how the game looks…
