Opinion of the game "Mosque Bye-Bye"

Talking of mosques and minarets:

The Styria FPÖ is out with a new online game called "mosque bye bye", in which you can shoot down muezzins from the minaret. When you have completed the game, it says "Styria is full of mosques with minarets ! If you don´t want that to happen: Vote FPÖ on September 26 !"

The Swiss SVP has also used this game prior to their infamous Anti-Mosque referendum (the PR firm that worked for the SVP is the same that is now working for the Styria FPÖ).

The Green frontrunner in Styria has sued the FPÖ because of incitement of the people and accused the FPÖ once again of "Susanne Winter methods".

My opinion: Obviously HG. It reminds me of the game Moorhuhn.

This seems to be the right-winger version of it and I fear that some FPÖ-nut will eventually really kill a Muslim in public because of this sh*t ...

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

this is an awful game. i don't see how it could incite violence against anyone except the game designer.

yeah, if I study abroad in Vienna next year, I'll be sure to walk around with a beer in my hand 24/7 so as not be mistaken for one of them

Just walk around with this and you`ll be perfectly safe ...

14,500 points.  With my mouse pad, I just can't move the cursor around quickly enough.

LOL. They should make a Lower Manhattan version.

[Хahar 🤔]

LOL. They should make a Lower Manhattan version.

Always a paragon of tastefulness, aren't you?

[??????????]

Game doesn't work.

[Tender Branson]

Game doesn't work.

Yes, because a federal prosecutor has ordered the game to be removed from the FPÖ page.

Update:

A right-wing Austrian politician has been cleared of incitement after he created an anti-Muslim computer game as part of an election campaign.

Freedom Party deputy Gerhard Kurzmann used the game in his failed bid to become governor of the south-eastern province of Styria last year.

Players of "Bye-bye, Mosque" had to shoot at Muslims and mosques as they emerged from a rural scene.

The game sparked sharp criticism from other parties and religious groups.

Judicial authorities forced the Freedom Party to take down the game and Mr Kurzmann was later charged with inciting religious hatred and defaming a religion.

But on Friday a court in Graz cleared Mr Kurzmann.

"It did not reach the threshold of incitement and I would also say this was not the intention," Judge Christoph Lichtenberg said, in remarks carried by the national APA news agency.

The prosecution said it would lodge an appeal.

The Freedom Party said the ruling showed that "the question of whether mosque-building should be banned is being discussed all over Europe and that it is a completely legitimate debate", Reuters news agency reported.

Less than 2% of Styria's population is Muslim and the province has no mosques with visible minarets, APA said.

The Freedom Party is Austria's biggest opposition party. It argues for Islamic face veils and mosques with minarets to be banned.

Horrible game....and that's coming from someone with strongly negative opinions of dominant Islamic interpretations and practices.

I don't have an opinion about the game, but I have an opinion about the OP for his ****tease

[Middle-aged Europe]

I'm looking forward to the sequel, "Burn the Synagogue Down".

[dead0man]

I'd prefer a "Cutting the Beard off the Random Religious Man" game. link

[Insula Dei]

I'm looking forward to the sequel, "Burn the Synagogue Down".

Or the Arcade game classic, 'Jewish-Bolshevik Invaders'.

[Teddy (IDS Legislator)]

These Jewish comments are getting close to crossing the line.

[Хahar 🤔]

These Jewish comments are getting close to crossing the line.

As opposed to the game that we're discussing...?

[Teddy (IDS Legislator)]

Yes, they are very different.

[Insula Dei]

Yes, they are very different.

If by that you mean to highlight the fact that there is a difference between trying to create hatred in society at large, and poking fun at hate prophets trough irony on an internet forum,..., I guess I would have to agree.

[J. J.]

I'm looking forward to the sequel, "Burn the Synagogue Down".

I wonder what German video games in 1936 would have looked like. 

While legal, it is still disgusting.

Yes, they are very different.

A different target, but the same effect.  (Note:  Aside from not being Catholic, I'm not Jewish or Muslim either.)

Synagouges, like Protestant Churches are not like Mosques, which are more like Catholic Churches. Much more in-your-face. As well Jews adapt.

[Хahar 🤔]

Synagouges, like Protestant Churches are not like Mosques, which are more like Catholic Churches. Much more in-your-face.

What does this mean?

As well Jews adapt.

What does this mean?

[Sbane]

So Mosques and Catholic churches are fair game to be attacked? Ok.......

[The Mikado]

What the hell is with Teddy?

Also, the game's gone.    I wanted to see if I could beat my score from last year.

[Gustaf]

A game where you shoot Muslims is not viewed as inciting hatred in Austria? Lol.

(I'd also recommend everyone to just slowly back away from Teddy. Especially if you are being Muslim "in his face")
