ISIS Hijacks Anti-ISIS Video Game

Luke 17:28-30 “Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built” but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed.

Islamic extremist group ISIS has released a modification for a video game that allows a player to be a terrorist killing westerners.

The modification is for a game created by Czech developers Bohemia Interactive called ARMA III which is a futuristic first-person shooter based in the year 2030.  The game allows NATO forces to fight against Middle Eastern terrorists.

The game modification is not an official release by the Czech developers and was introduced by a terrorist in an online forum.

“I will, with the help of Allah, make dozens of copies for this game and distribute it to all the brothers that use the name of the caliphate,” the terrorist wrote.

Terrorism analysts say the game is another attempt by the group to try and recruit youth to join their jihad.

A British man convicted of terrorism told Sky News that those games are also being used to “dehumanize” the young gamers and make them un-phased by graphic violence.

“You got an eight or nine-year-old child playing those kind of violent games with heads blowing off and limbs blowing off,” Shahid Butt said. “What kind of mentality is that kid going to have? You dehumanized that person. To go and fight in Syria is as easy as going on holiday in Disneyland. Because you have made it easy.”
