Why do they enhance Islamophobia in digital video games?
What Should Muslims Do to Protect Themselves From Such a Poison?
Digital video games are equipped with hostility towards Islam and Muslims. Such games are put to
use as an instrument to spread Islamophobia. The reason behind it is the fact that players serve as a
protagonist and play an active role in digital video games. When someone watches a movie, he/she
witnesses a person defined as a terrorist killed. However, players play the role of a soldier in video
games and kill a Muslim defined as a terrorist and gain awards/points as they kill Muslims.
It is obvious that such video games are dominated by Islamophobia. As a matter of fact, it is not
Islamophobia but hostility towards Islam. Rapidly-spreading video games witness a "massacre of
Muslims" and impose "hostility towards Islam".
