Way to go Grapefruit juice, You've just marked us all for death.

"break a BASIC AND CORE tenant of islam." So YOU dont do it. If I believed in some magic super man and people made fun, I'd probably just ‘get over it’. Muslims on the other hand, when something is said about islam tend to:
1) threaten to blow someone up
2) blow themselves up
3) blow themselves and someone else up

Q to the F to the muthafuckin' T

The fact that there were wide-spread acts of violence and murder over some cartoons doesn't seem barbarically backwards to anyone else? (visa vi muhammed cartoons)

CAIR are the hate mongers. They employ, protect and recieve money from known terrorists and funders of terrorism. And the west didnt apply the fundamentalist label, the nutsoid jihadists did.

I'm saying, all you should do is respect everyone individually. CAIR asked Capcom politely to take it down, and they did. There's nothing more than that. Generalizing people as terrorist or suicide bombers gets you nowhere. but unfortunately may get you in trouble by a few extremists just as there are in many other religions or groups of various types.

@TheStripe

It's hard to focus on one (so called hate mongering) group without acknowledging the Bush Administration or Bush himself which has also protected and received money from terrorists or oil companies which back a few elite families which hold power in certain groups. I agree that the extremist Muslim (if they can so be called that due to the steps you can take, which can take you out of the folds of Islam, therefore not making you a true Muslim) are awful but the average Muslim shouldn't be held accountable for them. And again...I see no problem with what they asked or how they asked Capcom to handle the matter. This isn't like the RE5 matter. Everyone was civilized.

p.s. we wont know all the information of what's going on in war-ridden areas of the world because of the media and what they decided to leave in or take out of their broadcast. I respect your choice of opinion (even if I disagree) but I ask for the same.

Everything you've listed means nothing. Again, it does NOT represent the Muslim community as a whole. There are a little over 2 Billion Muslims on this planet. You listed off dates and deaths. During the crusades and since the birth of Christianity, there have been countless amounts of death. This, just as many other times in history is a hectic time for different religions. They all have their moments. Simply because there haven't been any "Christian terrorist attacks" in the last 2 months does not mean that so call "Christians" don't commit murder. I'm not trying to point out Christians but simply trying to point out that people can give themselves a specific name or be put in a specific category but unless they display the virtues and proper teachings then they aren't it. Muslims/Christians/Jews who commit murder on innocents can't really call themselves so.

You just seem prejudice against Islam and if I can't make you think otherwise, then so be it. I'm just trying to point out that you need to look at things with an open mind and stop looking at it through the narrow view that the media portrays. We aren't all terrorist that run around bombing people. We are taught noble values and morals.

I hope that you can understand me and where I'm coming from,but for now, I'd prefer to end this conversation. I just finished finals and feel like relaxing (playing games). Sorry we couldn't come to an agreement, see you around on the blog.

@cquezaad
1. my list Means everything. the truth hurts
2. ah the old crusades argument, when did they happen again? 800-900 years ago, man thats relevant. Im glad to see some of us have moved on since then.
3. http://youtube.com/watch?v=oMOZvbYJMvU How noble.

@trunxkam45:
"but less people will view them as "barbaric" and "fanatic" the way people consider ALL Muslims."

And you are accusing other people of being ignorant? Most people that I know doens't consider all Muslims to be barbaric or fanatic, probably no one that I know thinks that. Perhaps a lot of people in the US do, but I think that more has to do with anti-Muslim propaganda than any kind of "facts".

To create savage tribe who eats humans and use a very Muslim term to associate with them, is very very very bad taste. Do you think US citizens would be very happy if someone created a game with cannibals looking like very fat white people that had the US flag everywhere and said things like God bless the United States etc while eating people? And that is even more or less non-religous, and perhaps you haven't noticed, but people in general that have a lot of faith etc usually doens't take it very lightly.

@alexkorova
It's difficult to tell what you're saying but I don't really see why you are arguing against me.

@Grapefruit Juice
Thank you for proving my point. You just said that I am either one of two types of people and are also assuming that Muslims stick together and that we have similar mindsets. Regardless of the fact that there are 2 billion of us.

I am neither "#1" nor "#2". And I assure you that there are plenty of Muslims that denounce terrorism. But it seems that no matter what we say you are inclined to believe what you want to. I love America. I will most likely never have to fear for my life as a Muslim living here. But like the rest of the world, there is a lot of ignorance spread around and people need to learn things on their own.

@trunxkam45 "there are plenty of Muslims that denounce terrorism." Please, point me in there direction, I love to hear what they have to say.

waiting.............

Man, those 'terrorism denouncing muslims' are harder too find then Osama.
trunxkam45 should hook up with OJ, and they can search for the "real killers" and the "terrorism denouncing muslims" together.

"terrorist arent really muslims at all"

yeah, muslims are just like the rest of us. the fact that 99.9% of all terrorist attacks that have taken place over the last 20-30 years have been comitted by muslims is just purely coincidence. nope nothing to do with islam. All coincidence, just a fluke, happenstance.

Nikomus your ignorance saddens me no end.

educate yourself: http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/

Uh, have you ever heard of the IRA? They most definitely are not Muslim, yet they saw fit to use nailbombs in UK shopping centres, which I think constitutes terrorism. What I meant was that terrorists hold to very little of what Islam actually represents, and 99.9% of Muslims would NOT want to have any ascociation with them. That terrorists call themsleves Muslim is just a flag of convenience. If anything, they have a religion all of their own, consisting mostly of insanity.

What you're saying is deeply flawed, if you really mean to tar such a huge swathe of the world's population with the same brush. That terrorist are at this stage in history are mostly "Muslim" is probably true, but that muslims are mostly terrorists as you seem to suggest is clearly wrong. Do you pin that label to all the gamers here at Destructoid that happen to believe in a certain faith system? If thats not what you meant then I apologise, but your sweeping generalisations smack of bigotry to me.

And anyway, I don't think the west has any way to denounce terrorism when we stomp all over the world interfering at our whim, killing thousands and writing it off as "colateral". It was terrorism to the poor old Iraqis who had nowt to do with Saddam but still lost friends and family. The media never seeks to explore these problems from both sides. Why is Palestine pissed about Israel? cos we stole a bunch or their land to artificially create it in the 40's. Why is the rest of the middle east pissed off too? Because we look as crazy to them as they do to us, and they probably think they'll get invaded some time soon. Its not like there isn't a precedent for it...

Like, totally déjà vu, man. Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Fire Temple. Anyone?
