Islamists Exploiting Video Game 'Mods'
Topics: War on Terror
U.S. officials say that video game developers have unwittingly become part of a global propaganda campaign by Islamic militants to recruit Muslim youths to take up arms against the United States.
Tech-savvy Islamist militants from al-Qaeda and other groups have modified video war games so that US troops play the role of bad guys in running gunfights against heavily armed Islamic radical heroes.Slick move by the Islamists - this is a hard nut to crack with a mostly uneducated and easily brainwashed Muslim population promised paradise in return for becoming a 'martyr' without questioning why the clerics or their families who give such promises haven't already become 'martyrs' themselves. Dumb!The games appear on militant websites, where youths as young as seven can play at being troop-killing urban guerrillas after registering with the site's sponsors.
"What we have seen is that any video game that comes out ... they'll modify it and change the game for their needs"
The underlying propaganda message, officials say, is that the United States is waging a crusade against Islam in order to control Middle Eastern oil, and that Muslims should fight to protect Islam from humiliation.
And it's too bad that the Islamotards find Islam so easily humiliated.
