Hello fellow Mulsim.

Yeah, anyway, I hope it works. I wonder if they will leave more of the religious specifics out or not, because the two major sects of Islam (Sunni and Shia) go both in very different directions after the death of Mohammed. Hmm.

I think this is a really interesting idea. I think the idea of educating people and understanding the foundation of a religion is something that's all too easily forgotten. When different parts of the world don't understand the heritage and culture of other parts of the world, it becomes easy to demonise a whole group of people. It's also easy to blame religion for the faults of man, and although this is an RTS, which doesn't really promote peace in any particular way, it will still have a story which underlines and underpins the reason why Islam came to power.

I think you are right, especially on blaming religion for the fault of man. Man is the one only source of evil on this planet, as we are the only source for good. I mean, religion was created by man.

Im a muslim,not so much but somehow I love some parts of that(just believe in god, thats all lol)..

I said that, because some of you guys think muslim s cant play games LMAO..jk

hope to see more Games or movies about my people (I live in iran) and the history of islam.. there are so much interesting stories about islam that everybody (who loves history) must know..

EDIT: I dont recommend anybody to follow islam.. lol , its so much easier being christian, or just believing in god(like me). and its so complicated & HARD to being a near perfect muslim (almost impossible)

7 - Islam Religion accepts all the prophets including Hz Isa (Jesus Christ)
Islam Religion accepts all the prophets including Hz Isa (Jesus Christ). And says Its Messiah.
But i dont understand why other religions dont accept Muhammed as a prophet and Qur'an-i Kerim as God's Words. Muhammed's words are different from Qur'an and its named "Hadis"

Qur'an says that EVEN YOU ARE NOT A MUSLUM if you are not a bad person and accept The God as "The One" you will certainly go to heaven.

Qur'an accept all the prophet based "The One God" religions, but their original states.

And A REMINDER TO UWE BOLL;
You SAY THE QABA IS BLACKBOX. The QABA build 2500 BC. You know THAT???
And It is a worship place for THE PROPHET ALL RELIGIONS ACCEPT: "IBRAHIM" (ABRAHAM)

"But i dont understand why other religions dont accept Muhammed as a prophet and Qur'an-i Kerim as God's Words. "
its simple, because they all came out before mohammad. anyway who cares..
and other reason is, if you are a christian and some day BELIEVE in Mohamad ,it means you are a muslim..

in 21th century we are all connected,no matter what religion you follow , we are all the same and can be life time friends ..

if god ask me what do you believe after himself (I dont have guts to say anything but God in first place lol)
I will say : GAME

and if he say which games from which console, I will say :

1-METAL GEAR SOLID , playstation
2-Warcraft ,PC
.. etc (gods knows the rest and he will say ok thats enough)

and I will be in hell beside millions of dead XBOX360 s with RROD s(360s generate Hell's heat with highest efficiency).. /jk :P

"Qur'an says that EVEN YOU ARE NOT A MUSLUM if you are not a bad person and accept The God as "The One" you will certainly go to heaven."

Heaven is soo overhyped. From the previews and screenshots I've seen of it I'm sure it will flop.

there are so many previews in quran about heaven .. from what I'v heard it wont flop , but I must see the actual game play footage, otherwise I cant be completely sure about that..

anyway you can see EDGE or EUROGAMER or Gamespot ,they will give HEAVEN and 8 because of so much variety. (omg even HEAVEN cant have a score above HALO3 on those sites,cough MS cough.. )

8.4 - Every work of art has an artist,
Who made Mona Lisa?
Who made Eifel Tower?
Who made Buildings?
Then the world made by Who? By itself?
Then the space made by Who? By itself?
Then the algoritm of universe made by who?

Sure there is a huge power ,
and if there is more than one "huge power"
Who has the biggest power?
There is only "One God" , and ABRAHAM,ARK,MUSES,JESUS and MOHAMMAD are its "Messengers"

Ya know, im not really a fan of religion, but even religion says that when a man shows his guilt and asks for mercy you are not allowed to do such horrible things to that man.

Those idiots who kill in the name of a lord( see i say "a lord" because it seems no one is on one line) are morons because they don't follow their own religion right.

Imo religion brought nothing but horrible things. You can claim it's meant for peace and whatever, but it seems humans can't understand religion and just do what they think is religion.

Why you die?
Why there is a balance exist in the universe?
Why Qur'an, New Testament, The Old Testament has omens?
Who has written/can write the israel's prime minister's death to 1500 year old book?

I'am sure you arent sure if god exist or not?
if its exist we will go to very good place,

"Who has written/can write the israel's prime minister's death to 1500 year old book?"
LOL, the bible code.

Its called probability!!
It happens with any large piece of writing.

"Why Qur'an, New Testament, The Old Testament has omens?" Omens are interpreted by men, i.e. they find what they want to find.

"Why there is a balance exist in the universe? " I don't think you are even capable of understanding the question you've asked.

"Why you die?"
Thats it, game over. There is nothing. Sad as it may be, its the truth. Don't lie to yourself because you can't handle the truth.
Once you understand that you only have 1 life then you will start to enjoy it more.

As a gamer you'll know that infinite lives takes the fun out of a game. Having only 1 life make the experience far more intense and rewarding.

Arguments like "How can you sure god didnt exist?" are getting old.
We (atheists) don't have to. YOU have to prove he does.

"I AM SURE You dont feel good as good as US(BELIEVERS)"
You may feel good because you are happy to ignore the truth.
I feel better by knowing that i'm not deluding myself, and therefore feel superior to you.

Do you believe in the flying spaghetti monster? If not then why not?

...The guy worked at NASA, so you could at least learn something from him, at the least.

Takes an hour or so to watch it, and you answer in six minutes.

See, people like you are so quick to ask for evidence, but deny and reject any evidence presented to you.

14 - Could care less about the
history of islam. I would rather see them explain islam as it is today.
Explain why so many muslims are so violent and bloodthirsty.

Why are they committing genocide in Africa, why muslims want all Jews dead, and explain why women are treated like prisoners in their society.

I have always been curious about those kind of issues, I'd love to hear their side of the story.
