You also missed the whole humorous setup: a one-room game that riffed on 'Pick Up the Phone Booth and Die'. My thanks is for a spiritual kingdom -- you know as in 'my kingdom is not of this world' -- not dependent on slavery, lust, or murder. I even specifically said 'spiritual', so as to distinguish it from any temporal empire. Yup, this is hard-edged satire, hard-edged in its uncompromising approach, and satirical because of its over-the-top humorous (although slight) exaggeration. Moreover, it is satire even if you don't like it or don't care for its approach. Your attempts to redefine words to slander me and my work do not dissuade me, but they do reveal something rather uncharitable about yourself. By the way, the artist who began 'Everybody Draw Mohammed Day' is now in hiding somewhere in the U.S under government protection. Anyone who reads your review really should be apprised of that. Finally, it is worth saying that all the hate I've received about this game, all the misconstructions about what I've written, and all the lies told about me personally have inspired me to create another IF game in a similar vein. Your Easter candy isn't halal-certified, is it? Pinstripe, April 15, 2012 - Reply How is Islam's spiritual kingdom dependent on slavery, lust, and murder? The Muslim empires that indulged in those practices aren't any more temporal than the Christian kingdoms that did the same things. It seems unfair that Christianity gets to be absolved of all the crimes of its adherents while Islam is held accountable for the same. |
