#1 Another Zionist mole at BBC? Good thing there are public spirited Islamic citizens in the UK willing to expose this failure to ~~endorse suicide bombing~~ adhere to approved doctrine.
Imagine the nerve of these Beebers rejecting Palestinian characterizations of the conflict as though these were not objective facts endorsed by the UN bureacracy.
How long before the Beeb takes corrective action?

#2 I find this article risible, however I was startled by the link to the Islamic Fun CD-ROM, presumably full of fun-packed things for kids to do. However, the CD includes a game whereby South Lebanese farmers can shoot at Israeli tanks:

Your child will learn about Islam by playing lots of exciting
games, full of colourful animations and cute sounds effects....

THE RESISTANCE (*)
You are a farmer in South Lebanon who has joined the Islamic Resistance to defend your land and family from the invading zionists.

(*) Some in the media have kicked up a fuss over this game. It seems that the media is silent when they, the zionists, use their tanks to slaughter our children but when our children play a shoot-em up game where they shoot zionist tanks in return for correct answers we are accused of training terrorists and instilling hatred towards Jews! On the contrary the questions in the game educate children not to fall for the zionist lie that zionism, jewishness and Judaism are synonymous but to understand that zionism, a racist ideology, has nothing to do with Judaism - one of the questions in the history/politics section asks "What is the difference between a Jew and a zionist?".

Clearly no bias there then... It's a fuggin Death Cultâ¢ - I tell you...

#4 Games?

I am surprised that TSR games doesn't have a Mosque AD&D scenario with a labyrinthe of tunnels, and chambers with WMDs, protected by suicide bombers ready to meet virgins to stop the adventurers.

(Forgive me - it has been 20 years - I don't remember all the rules or terms)

#5 The rules of AD&D were too much to comprehend when my mind was young and agile.

#6 Frankly, I think Call of Cthulhu would be a more appropriate game, as obviously people are failing their Sanity rolls.
