“Artist claims ‘censorship’
Chicago-based Bilal’s ‘Virtual Jihadi’ video work shut after less than a day in New York”

By Stevenson Swanson | Tribune correspondent
March 10, 2008

NEW YORK -

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “A work with complicated origins, “Virtual Jihadi” mimics a video game, allowing a viewer using a keyboard and mouse to control a gun that shoots American soldiers. The object of the “game” is to penetrate a bunker and kill President Bush.

Bilal’s avatar is available to blow himself up next to the president. That aspect of the piece reportedly led to inquiries from the FBI and other federal agencies.”
