Game CDs Abusing Holy Quran Seized in UAE
The UAE's Department of Economic Development in Umm Al Quwain has confiscated video game CDs abusing the Holy Quran from an electronic game shop.
Issa Musbah Fardh, Director General of the Department, confirmed that the shop was fined and a final notice has been issued against it, besides making them take a pledge not to sell such CDs.
The shops in the emirate were also warned against selling games that abuse Islam, stressing that there is no tolerance for shops that sell these games.
The game contained many stages, including one where the player has to shoot a library housing the Holy Book and burn it, so as to jump to the next stage, he added.
There should be a parental guidance while buying video games to assure that they are free of any dangers, Fardh pointed out. The department will continue its intensified campaigns on markets and shops to confiscate the game which is known among children as ‘Masahif’.
