According to Arabic media, the Islamic State’s media wing just announced that it has created a new video game where players consist of jihadis battling Iraqi and American forces.
Among other things, the purpose of the game is to “raise the morale of the mujahedin and to train children and youth how to battle the West and to strike terror into the hearts of those who oppose the Islamic State”—a reference to the Koran (e.g., 3:151).
The media wing further confirmed that “the content includes all of the organization’s military tactics against its opponents.”
The characters in the game highlight aspects central to the Islamic State, such as jihad and “the willingness to sacrifice,” presumably a reference to “martyrdom” tactics.
During moments of victory, the characters shout out Islamic slogans such as “Allahu Akbar!” and behead and slaughter their victims—true to the Islamic State’s modus operandi.

It’s sad that these barbaric freaks avail themselves of technologies that their own atropied minds couldn’t create, the products of kufr genius and innovation, to destroy progress and enlightenment and to drag us all back to darkness and ruin.
Aardvark says
Yes, exactly. So what does it do to ‘raise the morale of the mujahedin’ when they see this wonderful technology that no mohammedan could ever have produced?
Ben says
“Raise the morale” – LOL, is it morale to behead other human beings?
Wow, Islam is weird.
Weird and evil.

Ben, beheading innocent people is held to “heal the hearts” of Muslims:

This is not exactly a new tactic. The concept of “militainment” goes a long way back, and the PLO and Hezbollah have done the same in the past.
Chabuco says
Here’s the video game in action:

that was classic!
Jay Boo says
After the initial enthusiasm wears off and the foreign fighters see the hell hole that most Syrians and Iraqis wish to escape from to the West, they get homesick and begin longing to sit around playing video games and watching Net-flicks while munching on a bowl of popcorn.
mortimer says
Saudi Arabian textbooks (used by most Islamic schools even outside KSA) teach junior and senior grades to ‘hate’ disbelievers ‘for the sake of Allah’ and discriminate against the Shi’ites.
So, ISIS is also teaching children to hate.
Do you see a difference? I don’t see a difference.

Islam is morphing into little more than a killing machine. As the world stumbles towards a population approaching ten thousand million, their message to humanity is very simple. Human life is worthless. Even an idiot can understand the message of Islam.

Morphing?
dumbledoresarmy says
It has always *been* a killing machine.
The Religion of Murder.
A Death Cult.
A Human Sacrifice System.
Coupled with an extortion racket (the dhimma ).

Cruelty is Simply a Part of Islam, Says Expert
Angemon says
Whoever concocted islam made a series of errors. For example, wanting to make the lives of dhimmies so hard that they had to convert to islam so they could live with some sort of dignity while making dhimmies the source of income for muslims. There were times in history where conversions to islam were prohibited because that would affect the tax base.
What kind of half-assed protection racket allows the racketed to become racketeers by uttering a few unintelligible words? Did allah missed the gaping, glaring flaw in that plan? So what happens if islam spreads through the whole world and everyone becomes muslim? No nations to pillage, no chances of assuring entrance into paradise by dying in jihad, no dhimmies to mooch off, no sex slaves, shortage of wives…
Uncle Vladdi says
Plenty of provisions in the Qur’an allow for all the “real muslims” to continue to wage eternal jihad against all the slackers, aka “hypocrites” who are still considered to be infidels themselves.
Pearl says
They turn on each other. Islam has always been a system based on hate.
King Dave says
This game is obviously marketed to disenfranchised Muslims, psychopaths and liberals.
Moderate Muslims are considered heterodox by Muslims such as the Islamic State.
Sadly, moderate Muslims don’t take this as a compliment
Champ says
Aw, yes, the illusory “moderate” muslim …
Uncle Vladdi says
There are no moderate muslims because there is no moderate islam. There is only one Qur’an, and it commands terrorism be used by all true muslims.
Here’s the only real “difference” between “radical” and “moderate” muslims:
Radical muslims want to murder you.
Moderate muslims want radical muslims to murder you.
CAPISCE?

………………………….
You’re wrong about liberals, King Dave—if they noticed this game at all, they would consider it made not by pious Muslims, but by misunderstanders of the “religion of peace”, who were probably influenced by violent Western “colonialists”, and not by Islam at all…
Maintaining their denial would trump all.

John, you are so right, the other day I was thinking along the same lines , if we didn’t create boats, aeroplanes and trains, create free thinking and giving people rights, these bast@rd,s wouldn’t be in our countries, destroying us.
They would probably die from not even getting antibiotics.
Uncle Vladdi says
We need to counteract this by making our own video game, where we get to impale prominent members of the enemedia and “our leaders” for supporting islam! We could use their real dissembling speech quotes, contrasted with the actual Qur’anic verses which directly contrast with their lies, to indict them!
😉
Ridley Wright says
Wow, this is horrific. I can’t even imagine what is going on in their minds as they make such a game and then get those they’re “training” to play it. Horrific, just…horrific.
nutroniks says
Wow, now ISIS has new video games? Where would you even find a dev to do that?
