wow! I have an account?
now look what you guys gone and done - made me post! Shocked
Just thought i’d step in and summarise:
Excuse the poor saudi fellas english - luckily I get the jist.
He wasnt upset (well maybe at first) about the depiction of the mosque-type building (even though they are similar but what the heck - we have churches, etc too like someone pointed out - it’d be stupid to take offense to that)
What he is pointing out is the call to prayer - which for your information echoes in cities around the world every 5minutes. Allah-ho-akbar is the arabic for ‘God is the greatest’. It quite rightly is the call to prayer - specifically known as the Azaan.
Fair enough have buildings - dont mean much - but by bringing the pillar of islam (literally - them words are used everywhere - WITH respect) is a kick in the teeth for muslims - especially if its at the start of the map as a call to war (like saudi_fella is stating). No need for it in a map tbh.
I’ve seen things similar which for example - in CSS - dust 2 map - fair enough - they’ve got arabic/mosque style buildings - doesnt matter - but to have something on the wall is not fair - i.e. one of the arabic posters on the wall refers specifically to Allah (which i’m sure you all know means god)- ack - its only a game.
What can you do? - its only a game after all - some of us take offense - and quite rightly complain - usually using the correct gramm0r
. Where we complain is another thing all together. Custom maps - hmmmmmmm, go complain to the map creator - you can’t blame a game developer for it.
My saudi friend just needs to calm down slightly and realise its only a game - people can do as they please with stuff these days and get away with it - whats new? but quite rightly - like others have said - this thread will have made that map even more popular - people will go on it just to see what the fuss is about.
Dont worry my muslim brother - Doesn’t matter where a non-muslim hears them words - at least now they will know what it means
