Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Turkish computer game incites Jerusalem Muslims to wage jihad and “liberate” Temple Mount

Feb 15, 2019 12:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

A new computer game, “Mosque Guards,” is “being distributed in eastern Jerusalem that is suitable for smartphones and the home computer.” The game was developed by “a Turkish society called ‘Reading Time.’”

It’s no surprise that Turkish developers are behind it. Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is a fervent supporter of the Palestinian jihad. He called last March for an “army of Islam” to attack Israel on all sides.

Erdogan also proclaimed that “‘Jews in Israel’ beat Palestinian women and children, telling his audience at an Istanbul meeting of the Turkey Youth Foundation that Muslims must ensure Israelis are ‘taught a lesson.’” He went on: “But as Muslims, will confront these people [the Jews] if they have courage to deal with us and we’ll teach them a lesson.”

“Mosque Guards” is incitement of young Palestinian jihadis, exhorting them to ramp up their vioence against Israel and its citizens. These jihadis are indoctrinated to believe that they are on a “holy” mission to “liberate” “Palestine” from the River to the Sea, that is, obliterate Israel, in the name of Islam. The jihadi mission is made to look as if the jihadis are brave warriors fighting against alleged Jewish oppression. “The goal of the game is to teach the youth all the secrets of the Al-Aqsa Mosque during a virtual tour, and the players are seen as strong, warrior-like people who have already experienced the game and report that the game trains them to confront the Jerusalem Police.”

The winner of Mosque Guards receives the key to the Mughrabi Gate and the title “Liberator of Jerusalem.”

“Turkish computer game incites Jerusalem Arabs to ‘liberate’ Temple Mount,” World Israeli News, February 14, 2019:

Lt. Gen. (res.) Baruch Yedid, former head of Arab affairs in the IDF’s Central Command, discussed a new computer game, “Mosque Guards,” being distributed in eastern Jerusalem that is suitable for smartphones and the home computer.

The player must reach different places on the Temple Mount with a special Facebook page for coordination and co-creation between players.

“The money for developing the game was given by a Turkish society called ‘Reading Time.’ It transferred money to the East Jerusalem Society called Burj al-Laklak, a historical motif in Islam,” Yedid told Arutz-7.

“The goal of the game is to teach the youth all the secrets of the Al-Aqsa Mosque during a virtual tour, and the players are seen as strong, warrior-like people who have already experienced the game and report that the game trains them to confront the Jerusalem Police,” he explained. “The winner of the game receives the key to the Mughrabi Gate with the title ‘Liberator of Jerusalem.’”

The Temple Mount, under the administration of the Jordanian Islamic Waqf, can be accessed by 11 gates in the Old City of Jerusalem, but tourists and non-Muslims may enter only through the Mughrabi Gate.

“Under the guise of cultural and heritage activity, Turkish involvement is growing,” Yedid stated…..

    The end of the ‘game’ when it all goes up in flames has already been written, thousands of years ago.

    The Jewish Temple in Jerusalem must be returned to the Jews and the Hagia Sophia Cathedral in Constantinople must be returned to the Christians.
    Violence , stealing the religious properties of other faiths does not make Allah Akbar!

      Yeah, it was called WWI. The King of Bulgaria was poised to take weakly-defended Constantinople, but the European Powers told him not to proceed. It should have been taken and Turks excluded from Europe once for all. A lost opportunity. Turkey should never have been in Europe.

        They could have an add on for this scenario of invading Turkey. Spin off of the Gallipoli campaign.

    The Israeli authorities have been stopping Jews from discussing if it is moral for the Jewish people to rebuild our Temple on the mount, if it is necessary to move the muslim mosque built intentionally on the Jewish religious site, and if we Jews have the conviction to move the mosque if it turns out that Jews have been unjustly wronged by the muslims building their mosque on the location of the Jewish Temple.
    Hopefully the arab muslims hysterics over defending the mosque cause the Jewish people to realize that their people’s religious rights are being violated, and their heritage is being insulted by Islamic claims of domination. It sounds to me like even Israeli psychologists would also see the Islamic mosque built on the site of the Holly Temple as the wrong message to allow the muslims to continue believing. In G-d I trust.

    Instead of Call of Duty they could have Call of Jihad.
