Islamic Fun

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", but also for some of the questions themselves, which seemed designed to promote an Islamist world view. Examples included "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 hand over agreement, the Christians turned the beautiful Mosque of Córdoba, in Muslim Spain, into a Cathedral (1238). Which one is it??"
