'Muslim Massacre' Computer Game
Astaghfurullah!
'Muslim Massacre' computer game blasted in Britain
British Muslims have condemned as deeply offensive a computer game called Muslim Massacre, which trumpets itself as a "game of modern religious genocide."
The game, which can be downloaded for free on the internet, was designed by a 22-year-old Brisbane man named Eric Vaughn and urges players to "wipe out the Muslim race with an arsenal of the world's most destructive weapons".
"The makers of this 'game' and the ISPs [Internet service providers] who are hosting it should be quite ashamed of themselves," Inayat Bunglawala, spokesperson for the Muslim Council of Britain, said.
"Anti-Muslim prejudice is already on the increase and needs to be challenged and not reinforced through tasteless and offensive stunts like this."
Players in the game - the aim of which is to "ensure that no Muslim man or woman is left alive" - control an "American Hero" wielding a machine gun and a rocket launcher parachuted into the Middle East.
In a series of levels, they first kill Arabs before progressing to Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, the Prophet Mohammed and finally Allah.
Mr Vaughn, known online as "Sigvatr", described it as "fun and funny".
Writing on the a discussion forum website, he said: "Don't whinge about how offensive and 'edgy' this is."
"Don't be a liberal pussy! Download this game now!" adds the frontpage of the game.
The Ramadhan Foundation, a British Muslim youth organisation, voiced "deep condemnation and anger" at the game, accusing it of "glorifying the killing of Muslims in the Middle East."
"Encouraging children and young people in a game to kill Muslims is unacceptable, tasteless and deeply offensive," the Foundation's chief executive Mohammed Shafiq said.
"If it was the other way around, with a game featuring Muslims killing Israelis or Americans, there would be uproar and rightly so," he said, urging ISPs to block the site.
"We urge ISPs to take action to remove this site from their services as it incites violence towards Muslims and is trying to justify the killing of innocent Muslims."

The Brits talk about an "open and inclusive" society.... HA HA and HA!!!
If they were really serious, they would have arrested and jailed the maker of the game and ISP, and possibly those who downloaded it, for HATE CRIMES!
But, Hate Crimes only applies to the 'Chosen Ones' (TM).... ;(
truly repulsive.
that guy really needs his ass kicked.
He should be banned and shunned wherever he goes.
What does he look like and where does he live?
Perhaps people in his neighborhood can stand up and take notice of where this guy hangs out and give him hell.
If he's "free" to incite violence against over a billion human beings for their religious beliefs, then we should be free to incite hatred, condemnation, and ostracization of his sorry ass for his malicious actions.

Muslim Massacre Creator: My Apology Was Fake
The man behind the Muslim Massacre controversy seems unwilling to relinquish his 15 minutes of fame. Although Eric Vaugh issued a widely-reported apology for his game, the object of which is "wipe out the Muslim race," he now claims that the apology was a scam.
We know because Super Columbine Massacre RPG creator Danny Ledonne, himself no stranger to controversy, has shared with GamePolitics an e-mail conversation with Vaughn which took place on September 15th:
Danny Ledonne: It is too bad that you pulled your game simply because some people didn't understand your political message (I for one gleaned a satirical criticism of Bush's foreign policy from "Muslim Massacre" whether you had intended it or not)... I believe by complying with demands of censorship toward the Danish cartoon depicting the prophet Muhammad and games like "Muslim Massacre," we are enabling a culture of taboos that are ultimately unproductive in cross-cultural dialogue...
While I recognize my serious/satire game "Super Columbine Massacre RPG!" merely pissed off a vocal but benevolent PTA instead of Muslim extremists... it is disheartening whenever an artist (however amateur or vulgar) raises the white flag at the first sign of social disapproval...
Eric Vaughn: The apology was actually fake. I put the site back up shortly after. Now the media is in a total bind and doesn't know what to believe.I was just f***ing with everyone the entire time and have had great success.
[GP: Indeed, the Muslim Massacre site, which had been down, is back up]
Danny Ledonne: Erg. I get it. But I don't. I mean, you have an actual message ( I presume?) and I think you could legitimately stand behind it. Please don't tell me you're just another Ryan Lambourn... doing it for "the lulz." If I were you, I would define success as the opportunity to think more critically about the elements your game addresses...
Eric Vaughn: Not exactly, basically my message was the Muslims need to suck it down and stop getting offended by everything. If they learnt to just ignore people, things would be better. It's not just a message for Muslims, it's for people in general. There are people all around the world who will do things that make you mad. If you search for them, they are easy to find. Just get on with your life.
GP: Readers may recall that Ryan Lambourn, mentioned by Ledonne, created the execrable V-Tech Rampage last year (see: V-Tech Rampage Creator Demands Payment to Remove Game).
By the way, Playing Columbine, Danny Ledonne's film detailing the controversy surrounding his game, will be screened at the AFI FEST in Los Angeles later this year. We'll have review of the film coming up on GamePolitics in the near future.

Looks like Joe Boy knew what he was talking about when he introduced Rep. Harman's "Thought Crime Act" in the Senate.
Joe Boy says terror can be spread using the 'Net and he appears to be right, in this instance.
But it's terror approved by the Tribe, who want endless wars until all Muslims are wiped out and Americans have been wiped out financially.
Way to go, Joe, Zhid Central in Tel Aviv must be very pleased.
Post a picture of 22-year-old Brisbane man named Eric Vaughn, so we can all "pay our respects" to the young terrorist.
