Now CAIR Is Going After Video Games, Islamo rage in action

2007-08-02

Hat Tip to LGF.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) announced today that the phrase "Allahu akbar" will be removed from the upcoming Capcom game, Zack & Wiki. Meaning "God is most Great" it is a common prayer in Islam. Capcom had apparently received complaints over the inclusion of the phrase from other parties as well.

"We have already ~~shot~~ contacted the team working on the game, and the phrase has been removed from the game and will not be heard in future videos released to the public," said a Capcom spokesperson to CAIR. "We appreciated Capcom's willingness to address Muslim concerns and applaud the company's swift ~~capitulation~~ and appropriate actions," said CAIR Communications Coordinator Amina Rubin.

Zack & Wiki is a cartoon-ish adventure title focusing on finding pirate treasure using the Wii Remote. It is expected to release on October 16, 2007. The article's writer David Radd with a link to CAIR's website, comments's "why it was there in the first place nobody knows."
Rather than ask WTF is CAIR's problem?
