The game is ridiculous in the first place, as if a website game could persuade young men not to become terrorists, but now it doesn’t even aim at the young men who are really becoming terrorists. Instead, it warns people not to become animal rights radicals and white supremacists, and pretends that the largest terror threat our nation faces is no threat at all. This is con consistent with what happened in 2011, when 57 Muslim and South Asian organizations wrote to John Brennan, demanding that I be removed as an FBI trainer and that all mention of Islam and Muslims be removed from counter-terror training. Brennan immediately complied. The Obama Administration appears determined to ignore and deny that there is any jihad threat at all.
“FBI Scrubs References to Islam from Anti-Radicalization Game After CAIR Complaints,” by Allum Bokhari, Breitbart, February 25, 2016 (thanks to Andrew):
Earlier this month, the FBI launched Don’t Be A Puppet, a browser-based video game designed to counter recruitment propaganda from violent extremists. However, after complaints from the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the Bureau has removed and replaced references to Islam and Islamic terrorism on the site.
The FBI originally intended to launch the site in November, but progress was stalled by CAIR’s complaints. At the time, the Islamic lobby complained that the website, which is targeted at young people at risk of extremist recruitment, would lead to the “stigamitzation” and “bullying” of young Muslims. CAIR also contended that the website should instead focus on right-wing extremists, which they argued were a greater threat to American youth.
It seems that the FBI have caved to CAIR’s complaints. The IJ Review reports that a number of changes have been made to the game, including the replacement of an Arabic-speaking terrorist recruiting young people for an “overseas mission” with a Chinese-American animal rights activist recruiting people for an attack on an animal testing lab.The game still includes a scenario where players are invited to go on an “overseas mission” — but the character’s Arabic name has been replaced with a western-sounding one (Sean S).
The FBI also appears to have heeded CAIR’s advice to focus on right-wing extremists, with a new example featuring a “white supremacist rally” where players are told to commit violent acts in the name of white supremacy. According to the IJ Review, “the new version of the game does not mention Islam, Muslims, or any particulars of Islamist ideology or targets at all, aside from the usual disclaimers that ISIS does not represent mainstream Islam.”…

As we close another week in the relentless procession of slaughter for bloodthirsty Allah, here are 4 minutes and 57 seconds of lucidity from one of our finest counter-jihad experts, David Wood.

Western governments need experts on Islam…people who have read all the source texts and understand their history and how the different schools interpret them. Then, and only then, can they start to make sense of jihadism…the doctrine that jihad is the prime directive of all Muslims.
Watered-down pabulum like this website won’t even get an animal rights activist to tone it down. The jihadists must be laughing themselves silly at this very moment and CAIR members must be sending more money to Muslim ‘relief’ organizations. Westerners don’t even know that the Islamic charity text ‘zakat’ is used directly for jihad, as well as other things, like supporting the families of suicide bombers. Westerners are still woefully underinformed about jihad and disinformed by propaganda fronts like CAIR. Our leaders are letting us down by refusing to learn about the jihad doctrine, the taqiyya doctrine, the kafir doctrine, the vigilantism doctrine, the Islamic apartheid doctrine and other normative doctrines of political Islam.
We are not being defended IDEOLOGICALLY.
underbed cat says
Exposing islams’ ideology and the deception that is inherent in the doctrine is the only path away from the insidious propaganda It would have to be extensive and quick since the tentacles have reached within our companies, medicine, education,politicians, water and food supplies to weaken and poison the population in my opinion. What better jihad way to take over a previously strong nation then to destroy minds, is a tragedy, unseen as neurons tangle and shrivel away, guided by the pious credentials.

Islam — is a terrorist organization.
Every mosque is a jihadi training center.
The only question is not (if) but to what degree.

Aha! — Katie Couric logic
Now we know.
Richard Paulsen says
Recently on TV in Sweden. An elderly couple being inteviewed on the news, being asked whether they are not too old and too few to live in a 5 room villa.
The day before a man going around in a villa neighbourhood putting leaflets in briefcases urging elderly to leave their house and to move to homes for elderly instead. Which turned out to be too expensive compared.
TV commercial asking whether you have a room to spare.
All this following a campaign from the government stating flats are enormoulsy scarce. At least 700.000 are needed the next few years. Some 9.7 million population in the country.
Has nothing to do with islam or influx of muslims, of course.
Like the nazis and bolsheviks did. Moving “classenemies” out, letting their own in.
Richard Paulsen says
To compare the figures stated in my comment next above. 700,000 flats in a few years in Sweden would equal some 21,000,000 -21 million – in the U.S.A..
Frightening, isn´t it? Take warning.
Jerry in Minneapolis says
Seriously, this says a lot about our government’s strategy in the war on terror. They make a role-play video game in an attempt to mitigate the murderous urge of religious fanatics? That’s like trying the curb the drinking of an alcoholic with a game about liquor stores. All this spying on good Americans, all this loss of civil rights, and our vanguard solution for preventing islamic terror is video games. I’d like to think our guys were doing so much more than that, but it sort of speaks for itself. When you have good solutions to a problem you don’t consider the idiotic ones. Now we know what our war on terror really looks like. SCARY.

Ok, since they like expunging things that are true just because someone complains, they should remove this white supremacist example. Isn’t one of the complaints that using Islam as an example, no matter how relevant the example is, paints Muslims in a bad light, since not all Muslims are terrorists? Well, not all white supremacists advocate violence. You can think your race is superior to others and not want any violence done to any other races. That white supremacist example is insulting and should be removed.

CAIR hides the info that the most special people of the mosque are white Arabs

Wasn’t Mohammed a white Arab?

Indeed he was:
Angemon says
Because that’s something that happens everyday, right?
You know what’s going to happen if you remove mentions of muslims and islamic terrorism? People won’t stop associating islan and muslims with terrorism because muslims will still commit terrorist attacks in the name of islam. They will, however, support the organizations who openly discuss it and claim to want to do something about it, like white supremacist groups.
Hope says
Why is CAIR running my f°cking country? Whst the hell is going on? I know Obama sits, lies down and rolls over at CAIR’s command, but now the FBI is being controlled by them, too? So angry I could spit.
underbed cat says
That may be the reason, “See something, say something”, is a scary prospect, especially if you say something to a agent who may take offense….and then has all your information. Only a secure contact should be available…one who would not feel a urge to fulfill a command or feel a conflict due to or from his religion and it’s obligations.
