The terrorist group ISIS which recently became known for a series of journalist beheadings has released a video game with the intention of recruiting teens and children into their ranks. The game seems to be a GTA mod oriented around terrorist activity and guerilla warfare.
This is an attempt to show that "being a terrorist" is just as fun in the real world as it is in the virtual one and, according to Egyptian news weekly El Fagr, to "raise the morale of the Mujahideen, and the training of children and young teenagers to fight the West, and throw terror into the hearts of opponents of the state". It's horrifying to think that terrorists would reach out to children in this fashion.
"We do the things you do in games, in real life on the battlefield" says the trailer, richly interspersed with the ISIS logo. We can only hope that children and teens are wise enough to understand that there's a huge difference between video games and real life.
