Muslims Irate Over BB-Gun 'War' Game That Dresses 'Enemy' In Arab Head Wear
Fox News ^ | April 8, 2008 | Staff

Muslim leaders in Britain are outraged about a new game that calls for camouflaged players to shoot BBs at "enemy" players dressed in traditional Arab headdresses, or shemaghs.

The game's creators, however, say using the shemaghs is the "easiest way to tell who the enemy are," according to a report in the London Daily Mail.

"Any sort of game that associates guns and violence with a particular culture is clearly wrong," said Mokhtar Badri, executive member of the Muslim Association of Britain.

"They could use any other type of color or dress to tell between teams which would not cause offense," Badri is quoted in the Mail.

The Zulu-1 Tactical Airsoft Simulations game’s founders, Peter Jenkins, 41, and Darren Howells, 42, deny that using shemaghs is racist.

"We simply use the shemaghs to differentiate between teams," Jenkins is quoted in the newspaper. "Just because some terrorists decide to wear them doesn't make it racist."

Airsoft participants dress in camouflage or shemaghs and use replica machine guns, pistols and sniper rifles that fire 6 mm BBs at their opponents. The game is held at a former Royal Air Force hospital on 20 acres of land in Nocton, Lincs, England, and enthusiasts say it is safer than paintball.

More than 40 people have signed up for the game, which is expected to pit 120 players against each other over woodland, trenches and empty buildings.

According to the Zulu-1 Web site, the game is open to anyone over 16 and participants first must attend a health and safety briefing.

These people, the Muslims, are pathetic! Whine, whine, whine. Why do they leave their countries, they can't live among any one who doesn't subscribe to their cults/faith. Britton had better get a back bone again before they are reduced to the rubble these Muslims are use to.

Throw in suicide bombs and head hacking, and that would describe Islam.

These people are the biggest bloody whiners I’ve ever seen.

If they are so very unhappy in UK, they should return to the flea infested ratholes they once called home.

Phew. Feel better now.

The truest statement on Arab violence to come from a British "infidel" in a long time.

BS BADri. Since all terrorists are MUSLIMS, and they wear rags on their heads, any game using them CORRECTLY as the enemy is fair game.
perhaps if Islam's scripture didn't suport terrorism, create terrorists, then this wouldn't be an issue.

Qur'an:8:12"I shall terrorize the infidels. So wound their bodies and incapacitate them because they oppose Allah and His Apostle."

Bukhari:V4B52N220 "Allah's Apostle said, 'I have been made victorious with terror.'"

Qur'an:8:57 "If you gain mastery over them in battle, inflict such a defeat as would terrorize them, so that they would learn a lesson and be warned."

Ishaq:326 "If you come upon them, deal so forcibly as to terrify those who would follow, that they may be warned. Make a severe example of them by terrorizing Allah's enemies."

I'm SICK AND TIRED of Muslims being offended, when it's THEIR cults evil 'scripture" which is the OFFENSIVE thing in this world, and the cause of all the problems in the world.

Just tell them that the team with turbans are Hindu Sikh’s. I’m sure they’ll be OK with that.

The live in buildings made from that. Camel urine is the preferred refreshment.

Bukhari:V7B71N590 "The climate of Medina did not suit some people so the Prophet ordered them to drink camel urine as a medicine."

Obviously Mr, Badri has not seen the Hammas produced TV series where children are indoctrinated to commit homicide in the name of their religion.

Oh, he probably knows about it, but expects that most people don’t,

and he expects the useful idiots on the left to side with him out of ignorance.

I have to agree with the premise of the article. There is something wrong on this one. Why are they not using real Muslims and high powered rifles? As it is someone could get an eye put out.
