Video Games for Terrorists

Newspaper current event by Anonymous on 06 May 2006, tagged as gamessports and worldaffairs

Wired has published an interesting article discussing how terrorists are using popular video games as recruiting tools. From the article, 'Tech-savvy militants from al Qaida and other groups have modified video war games so that U.S. troops play the role of bad guys in running gunfights against heavily armed Islamic heroes. ... The games appear on militant websites, where youths as young as 7 can play at being troop-killing urban guerillas after registering with the site's sponsors.'

Islamic Radicalism is really just misunderstood by kyle44 :: NR0

I dont believe this story. The Al Qaida militants dont really want to kill us. We just need to appeal to their sense of reason and everything will work out. We as a nation should really explore all the ways available to make the terrorists not hate us. Picnics, concerts, State Dept.level working groups and negotiations will work, and convince them to please not hate us.

NOT!! If that crap doesnt work, we need to use our secret weapon----PORN! We can get them addicted to it, then Al Qaida will be too busy to hate us!

<--- bubble burster by Hakuoni :: NR0

This was discredited already as simply being an actual studio created add-on for the game allowing you to play as various sides of conflicts. :)
