CAIR has finally discovered a form
of religious
violence that it doesn't like. Unfortunately, it's the virtual kind...
and even then there are some problems with what they are claiming.
Originally, CAIR said that a Christian video game, "Left
Behind: Eternal Forces," was full of violence against Muslims. CAIR called
it a "Convert or Die" game, meaning that the object is to force
Muslims to convert to Christianity upon threat of death.
But after getting everyone's attention, CAIR toned down their rhetoric, and here's why:
FACTS ABOUT THE GAME
- No Muslims are depicted or represented.
- The "good guys" only use force when attacked.
- Violence is discouraged in the game.
- Players are penalized for every "death" they inflict.
- Trying to convert others by force will cause a player to lose the
game.
Why would CAIR have a problem with a game that actually promotes
non-violence? Why would they intentionally mislead the public?
Draw your own conclusions. We think they're just trying to distract
from the very REAL killing and maiming that is done explicitly in
the name of Islam each and every day (by pretending that this is a
more serious problem).
Our advice to CAIR is that instead of grandstanding on a non-issue,
they should denounce the video-taped sniper shootings of American
troops. They know the ones were talking about. CAIR stays absolutely
quiet each time one of those videos is released.To our knowledge,
CAIR has never condemned the killing of American troops
or tried to discourage fellow Muslims from taking the lives of
Americans in uniform overseas - although they have tried to foment
rage against the troops by publicizing negative stories, most of
which were previously obscure.
So, let's sum up what we have so far: CAIR is against a game created by
Christians that ultimately discourages violence and has nothing to
do with Islam. They are, however, perfectly fine with the shooting
of Americans in Iraq by Muslims screaming "Allahu Akbar" ("The god of
Islam is great!") after each kill.
Still not convinced by CAIR's antics and double standards that there's something
very, very wrong with
this religion? Then consider what Islam has to say about
forcing
others to Allah (from our "Understanding Islam" series):
