Islamic Fun

Islamic Fun is a controversial package of computer games targeted at Muslim children, developed by the UK-based firm Innovative Minds. All the games in the package involve answering a series of multiple choice questions on a range of Islamic themes. Three levels of questions are available, for children of 5–7 years, 8–10 years, and 11 years and older.

The game became controversial not only for the obvious anti-Zionism of "The Resistance" game (see below), but also for some of the questions themselves, which seemed designed to promote an Islamist world view.

Examples include: "Mustafa Kemal, the hater of Islam, forbade the use of Arabic in Turkey, banned the hijab and closed down the Aya Sofya Mosque in Istanbul. Which is it?", and "Ignoring the handover agreement, the Christians turned the beautiful Mosque of Córdoba, in Muslim Spain, into a Cathedral (1238). Which one is it?"

Famous quotes containing the word fun:

    “... he’s helpless
    In ways that I can hardly tell you of.
    Sometimes he gets possessed to keep accounts
    To see where all the money goes so fast.
    You know how men will be ridiculous.
    But it’s just fun the way he gets bedeviled
    If he’s untidy now, what will he be?”
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
