It is not a war against Islam or anything but this is resident evil, the player is stepping on the quran here, there was another one where the Quran is in the bathroom it was posted before I don't know what the game is, please boycott these games and complain!

Of all the books on the shelf, they use the Words of God, the Holy Book held in reverence and awe by a single group that comprises of 1/4th of the world's population.
They really care about our "feelings" dont they,
That's why we stop short of speaking the truth honestly out of the apprehension that we might offend others, and in the process, obscure the path to paradise for them by pretending it's all the same.
I said this in the other thread, and I'll say it again: putting a book that only RESEMBLES a copy of the Quran into a video game does not translate into a declaration of war against all of Islam (Assuming it's even true). If this is from Resident Evil 5, it's worth noting that it takes place in Africa so it could have been a design choice by the developers who might have read about Africa's large Muslim population. There's no reason to think something like this has any malicious intent. Also, even if the west is at war with you, Resident Evil is a Japanese game. Made in Japan. By the Japanese.
The game is western made since 2010 do you ever read before you write Tyrian? Also who said the Game by itself translates to war? It's in every action that adds up and of course I am not surprised you don't know what the Quran looks like I mean why would you?
The game is western made since 2010 do you ever read before you write Tyrian?
First of all, it's Tyrion. Second, you never specified which game in the series it was from, so when I googled it I got a few links claiming RE5 which is from 2009 and is most definitely made by the Japanese. You also clearly didn't read the link you posted for me in the other thread, since it also claims that the game is Japanese made.
He who silent about the truth is شيطان اخرس is a muted devil!
Rasool Allah is our leader not the kafirs not even Ghandi and when we know something we are to report it to other Muslims if you are happy stepping on the Quran because its civilised not to point it out it is your prerogative not mine!

Resembles??? It is the only book that I have that looks like that and there are no other books that look like that, http://m248.photobucket.com/albumvie...c.jpg.html?o=0You talk about not taking offence, yet I assume you'd be furious even at the mention of a mocking "resemblance" of your mother in underclothes, with a description that is unique to none but her. One would probably ask, is there any other reason than to create tension and to inflame via abuse?(hopefully you'll prove me correct by taking offence, yet let me remind you that the words of Allah are meant to be dearer to us than our families).
The Prophet pbuh acted furiously at the incident at Banu Qainuqa, the honour of Islam is sacred, and of we're not moved by these incidents it shows our level of faith.-----الَّذينَ أُخرِجوا مِن دِيٰرِهِم بِغَيرِ حَقٍّ إِلّا أَن يَقولوا رَبُّنَا اللَّهُ ۗ وَلَولا دَفعُ اللَّهِ النّاسَ بَعضَهُم بِبَعضٍ لَهُدِّمَت صَوٰمِعُ وَبِيَعٌ وَصَلَوٰتٌ وَمَسٰجِدُ يُذكَرُ فيهَا اسمُ اللَّهِ كَثيرًا ۗ وَلَيَنصُرَنَّ اللَّهُ مَن يَنصُرُهُ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَقَوِىٌّ عَزيزٌ(They are) those who have been expelled from their homes in defiance of right,- (for no cause) except that they say, \"our Lord is Allah\". Did not Allah check one set of people by means of another, there would surely have been pulled down monasteries, churches, synagogues, and mosques, in which the name of Allah is commemorated in abundant measure. Allah will certainly aid those who aid his (cause);- for verily Allah is full of Strength, Exalted in Might, (able to enforce His Will).Quran 22:40
Allah made everyone different thats what makes them special,so no matter what ppl say just remember you're SPECIAL!! "You are with the one you love"

A similar thing happened with Tekken Tag 2, in which the Saudi Arabia stage with tiled flooring apparently had Allah's name encrusted on the tiles. Rather than this being some out and right declaration of war against Islam, by the Japanese no less, the reality of the situation was simple: the designers for that stage looked to authentic arabian-esque tile pattern, found one that fit the overall pattern/feel for the stage (in this case, it happened to have arabic writing on it, which just happened to say Allah) and implemented it as the stages floor tiles. They simply didn't know what the word meant, or that it would cause offence if it were to be on floor tiles.
Long story short, some Muslim members of the Tekken community raised the issue with the lead developer of the game and an apology was made, and the supposed tiles were changed.
I'm certain it is a similar case with Resident Evil. Also, I find it odd how that the real uproar about this game in particular is it's rather blatant "black guys being the bad guys" deal given that all the zombies/bad guys in the game happened to be black (although in the developers defense this was probably because the game was set in Africa!). But I guess some people, particularly those that haven't even played the game/know barely anything about it, would rather pounce on the anti-islamic card. Bigger fish to fry.
I also recall a (minor) uproar about Call of Duty Modern Warfare (I can't remember which one - there's so many and they all suck - as FPS and games!), with God's name being on a frame print which happened to be in a bathroom. That's where the internet story stops, cue uprorar.
But here's the actual context: that bathroom was located in one of many houses that a player can enter on a game map that is set in the middle east! Again, I guarantee you this is the exact same case as with Tekken - the graphich designers for that level were looking for authentic Middle Eastern design styles given that's where the level was set, found one that fit and boom, picture frame. Any offence caused is more out of ignorance as opposed to out and right crystal clear anti-islamic sentiments, especially given the actual context. What you should be complaining about is how modern military fps games desensitize people to violence...and also how bad they are both as video games and FPS's in general.
If game developers really wanted to show anti-islamic sentiments, I guarantee you it would be a lot more blatant and overt than a mere graphic that happens to have God's name on it, located in extremely obscure places, that happened to be set in Muslim locales/buildings.
In many ways, this hunting for anti-Islam stuff in seemingly everything is akin to things like coca cola logo that apparently looks offensive...you know if you twist and turn, subtract/add things to it. Or finding illuminate symbols on packs of cereal or whatever.
Someone said to the Prophet, "Pray to God against the idolaters and curse them." The Prophet replied, "I have been sent to show mercy and have not been sent to curse." (Muslim)
Could you explain to us others what is meaning of this verse in this matter?
I am not a scholar, but even as a simple Muslim it still effects my conscience to sit passively and not call it out as a wrong that should be put right, actually it makes me furious.I do not pretend to be highly learned but i believe any simpleton would derive from the verses the reminder that because of those who strive primarily, speak out secondly and hate evil thirdly (the three stages of a person's faith with the last being the weakest) , enemies of the faith consider before attacking Islam wantonly.I recall a fox news reporter who explained that he doesn't lay into Islam and Muslims too much out of concern that his house may be bombed or he may be targeted on the streets by "terrorists". (similar to the fear many Muslims feel when opposing tyranny or speaking out against evil, they even fear torture and other unspeakable torments).Every government has a military wing, and with the lack of khilafah, it's the constantly condemned few who actually use their presence to put a wrong right.Obviously where using the tongue suffices, it's unnecessary to use the hand. Have you not seen many policies which the dictators and despots revise , not out of the goodness of their hearts but out of fear of reprisals?That's what the verse means to me.Peace

I've quoted the whole of this post because this is so sensible and common sense that it deserves repeating. Really, really good point well made. It's also worth noting that this image first appeared with the assertion (completely false) that players had to shoot the quran to win the game.
Too many people on this board seem to be slavering at the mouth for a "war on islam". The rest of us just want to get along with our neighbours and live our own lives.
every country in the ME is occupied either politically, economically!
A little video game is really least of the problems in a systematic agenda that is infilitrating our societies on multiple levels!
I am raising awareness nothing more nothing less but you'd rather the rapes continue just so we can all get along..
I don't recall writing 'shooting' at the Quran, I mean you've pastors who'd like to hold a burn the Quran day so what's a vid game in the scheme of that laundry list- I am not going to begin to scratch a very stinky cesspool of crap!
if it is all about getting along with your neighbors than understanding which part you play as a tax payer or game player in these problems with the denials and band aid on top of deep sores as solutions then you'd be best suited for a quaint little village somewhere where everyone looks the same!
Maybe, and maybe people should think a bit before spouting dangerous nonsense about wars of cultures.
Whether you think what I say is "nonsense" really doesn't matter to me. But I see you are now alleging that my comments and/or others' comments here are "dangerous." Since you obviously feel so threatened by such speech, why don't you call the FBI? LOL.
Subliminal messaging has been in existence for many decades already - in advertising, movies, song lyrics, music videos as well as video games.
This thread demonstrates yet another example of attempts to manipulate the thoughts and perceptions of people who willingly pay for, and consume these types of modern-age evils.
It may be possible that the producers of these video games were truly unaware of their actions, and that their intentions were sincere (Allah knows best).
However, I think that the possibility is even greater, that this was a well-thought out, sinister attempt to subliminally undermine Islam.
We should realize that there are corrupted groups of people who are working over-time in creating a secular society, completely stripped of religious and moral beliefs - and their ways of achieving this, are both overt and subtle.
It is up to US to wake up and understand this system - so that we can protect ourselves and our families.
For those who are still skeptical, please search on youtube: subliminal messaging - cartoons/ advertising/ video-games.
Heres an example of what goes behind some of the cartoons that many families allow their kids to watch - in the belief that these are innocent and educative means of keeping them entertained:
Continue your own research and empower yourself - it is only through knowledge that we can remove our blind-folds to the ways of this world, and start focusing on what is really important in our lives - our imaans and working for the Hereafter.
We need to become muslims who are serious about our islam - who see themselves as merely travelers on a very short and deceptive journey. Video games hold no benefit to the muslim.
Instead they are means of filling our minds with violence, hatred and other fitnahs....distracting ourselves from our true purpose in life, and wasting precious time that should be spent in the remembrance of Allah.
The life of muslim is not one of idleness and engaging in those activities that hold no benefit to him/her, both in this dunya and the aakhirah (and in many cases go directly against the teachings of islam by their use of music, seductive images of women, senseless violence, etc).
The use of these types of subliminal messaging (this is just one that we are now aware of.....there are many other messages that we may never know of) is just another reason for us to leave behind these types of 'entertainment' and to direct our lives in the manner of the most beloved to Allah, Muhammad (sallalahu alaihi wasalam).
