Muslim group slams new videogame as offensive
 [Al Arabiya Latest] The Organization of the Islamic Conference expressed concerns about a videogame showing figures of Prophet Muhammad, Jesus Christ and Buddha engaging in a death struggle. A spokesman for the OIC Observatory on Islamophobia said in a statement that the site metro.co.uk announced "the launch of this computer game titled 'Fight of Faith' (Faith Fighter), representing the characters as Prophet Jesus and Mohammed (Muhammad) engaged in a death struggle." "This game has provocative and offensive content for both Christians and Muslims (...) and would only encourage intolerance," he added. He called on the managers of the Web site that houses the game to "take immediate measures by removing the game from the Web." The Web site reported later that "a computer game which features God, Muhammad and Buddha beating each other up has been taken offline after Muslim protests." Posted by: Fred 2009-04-29 |
