A U.S. Islamic advocacy group Tuesday called on the country’s largest retailer to stop selling a video game it says glorifies religious violence and could negatively affect interfaith relations.
The game, “Left Behind: Eternal Forces,” is described on the game’s website as a real-time strategy game based on the best-selling book series “Left Behind.”
It allows gamers to “join the ultimate fight of good against evil, commanding Tribulation Forces or the Global Community Peacekeepers, and uncover the truth about the worldwide disappearances” – a reference to the end-time rapture.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), which says it received complaints about the game, charged that players are rewarded for either converting or killing people of other faiths.
