What about when muslims using a disney charater and teaching hatred and violence to their kids towards jews, christians and other non muslims. Whats the difference in that and what these radical muslims are doing using a cartoon charater to promote hatred and violence? So my question is where was the outrage among muslims when this disney was used to teach their kids hatred and violence towards jews, christians and other religions and other non muslims.. </description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If asked if the computer game called muslim massacre.

Because if THAT should happen, then ALL the games involving racism to cultures should be banned. Plus, like always, people make a fuss for a notice that not even they know what it means. I&#039;m a geek, i understand what&#039;s a shooting game, i&#039;ve seen it&#039;s evolution, i&#039;ve played A LOT of this games, and almost on every single one i&#039;ve seen some kind of discrimination for something, for politics to religious, from colour to the way of thinking. C&#039;mon, don&#039;t do they have something more important to do, than just banning one thing that is on the net, at which EVERY SINGLE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD can get his hands at it? If that is to happen, no one dies, and everyone shall end happy. But don&#039;t blame the games if some smartass takes a copy of a FREE GAME and puts it to circulate in internet again (that which of course will cause a polemic, AGAIN). I&#039;m religious, and i don&#039;t feel a thing when someone puts a game that insult my religion or my beliefs, because i know it&#039;s not true and i tolerate it, and in fact, i play it, because it&#039;s only a game. It&#039;s true that games this years have been degenerating a lot, but, if it wasn&#039;t for that degeneration, we will never have the chance to play magnificent games, such as GTA, Doom, and all kin dof related games. Please, we all know about WW2 related games. For example C&amp;C (Command and Conquer who doesn&#039;t get it)on Red Alert tells the history of Russia invading USA and winning WW2, why has no one ever told something about it?. Also, C&amp;C on the next gen it brought Generals, telling the history of terrorist against the chinese and american forces (does it ring some bells?), and all kind of games that whit time has evolved to what they are now. Videogame world has been always and shall be always criticized for it&#039;s contents, but there is something to remember: non of this thing is real, it&#039;s just a game. So dont think too much on it, it&#039;s just not real, so don&#039;t pis off for something that doesn&#039;t happen. If someone feels insulted, it may tell it to the whole world and we will tell him to stop playing it or viewing it, but it won&#039;t change the fact that all other people liked the game for ALL OVER DIFFERENT THINGS and care a monkey-ass for it&#039;s religious and age envolved content, because there is people who like twisted games, like we see in Muslim Massacre. It&#039;s true that the name is VERY offensive and for avoiding problems it should be changed, but not banned. But if they thing that by putting &quot;CHRISTIAN SLAUGHTING&quot; and change every pixel to look like Jesus will change something? Well, the answer is no, becasue it&#039;s just a game, and another people should feel offended. To make it simple, this will no end untill every game is censured to the point the blood will be invisible, when someone explodes it will shoot flowers, or instead of the death angels, the Power Puff Girls shall appear. I ask a question. Is it good enough to censor something which i don&#039;t know how it works, or what it means, or what does it does? Tell some muslim what is a game, then explain him what is Muslim Massacre, then explain why there is so people in the world that doesn&#039;t care about this things on a videogame. And to finish, don&#039;t say again the thing of 9/11, why do you bring it to the fry, if it&#039;s not neccesary? There is a bunch of terrorist in Middle Asia who did all this attacks, but this doesn&#039;t mean all the people there are guilty for this. I think the game shall have a little &quot;makeover&quot; on its name, just to avoid this kind of problems. In fact, for the picture i saw of the game, just change the name and i think i&#039;ve benn playing COntra all the time, just with more blood and some guys with bandanas on their heads and dynamite on a hand. Does it make a change if i call it muslim, jew, nazi, yanki, indian, and all kind of names? I think not, it&#039;s just how you see it. I just play the game... </description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I think not. Because if THAT should happen, then ALL the games involving racism to cultures should be banned.
