short answer: lol
other answer: Ban policy 3a and 3b would both be serious stretches in this case. And in any event, obscenity in American law typically means something with no redeeming social value and objectionable in the eyes of a given community at large. Obviously the Eve playerbase is international and CCP is headquartered in Iceland, so American obscenity definitions have no authoritative place in this argument, but I'm just using them as a frame of reference. I'd like to here any argument though that demonstrates that the Goons are violating any sort of obscenity guidelines, based on the definition provided above. Either that, or CCP needs to clearly define obscenity as it appears in their ban policy.

I find the Goons' use of jihadist themes to be in particularly poor taste, especially as I believe the offense is intentional.
The only thing the Goons have ever done that wasn't in poor taste was accept brand new pilots with no skills into the major alliance that is Goonswarm. Oh, and those YouTube videos they make.

I see it as them making fun of the extreamists who run around shouting this kind of dribble who tarnish Islam.
Seriously religious people need to grow thicker skin, especialy those fundermental christians
Interesting. Though I don't see the people you are telling to get a thicker skin car bombing and killing people around the world in the name of God. Do you?
We don't see Muslims doing it around the world either, and where we do see it it's still generally outshined in frequency by random rocket or mortar attacks, or IED emplacement. Not that it really matters to this discussion anyway. I think it's been established that the Goons aren't violating any Eve rules with their Jihadswarm thingy, so this thread has run its course.
Anyway I'll shut up now and get back to watching what has become personal attack thread of the day.

Little publicized fact about suicide bombings... the bomber dies most of the time...even if they kill nobody else... if they live they are referred to as "Failed Suicide Bomber"
So if the Goons are "Role Playing" Suicide bombers, each attack should result in the deletion of the character used...
As some are so fond of saying...
THIS!
Pod pilots never die. You can only suicide your ship in Eve, not yourself.

Noting myself as an aethist beforehand, I do like Islam more than Christianity simply because it teaches better morals.
true. Stone the infidels who will not convert !!!
Setting aside the fact that the Quran does not command this, there are equally violent commandments in the Bible. Stoning disobedient children for example.

how is Jihadswarm misrepresenting Islam?
-how many suicide bombers in the world are Islam? (hint: all)
-how many suicide bombers in the world AREN'T Islam (hint: none)
-which religion has decreed killing those that aren't Islam?
-which religion has been beheading people that have done no wrong against it?
-which religion in the Quran has stated that it's a Muslim's duty to kill all infidels?
yea. i don't think they're misrepresenting it at all. if anything, they got it straight on the money. why don't you worry about fixing up the problems your religion has and is causing before you come whine on a messageboard for internet spaceships?
I had a detailed post typed up but the quoted post is too idiotic to have been serious IMO. Kudos to me for finally not biting the flame bait.

But check out that link anyway just in case, and locate follow-up information on your own time.

You know, the vast majority of Suicide Bombers are done by non-muslims. Over the past 100 years or so, the biggist victims of terrorism have been muslims as well. I guess all these ad hominem work quite well after all. As to your questions of which relion that decrees killing un-islam people, beheading innocents or even killing infidels, its not even allowed for muslims to do so unless its in self defence. That includes war, so a muslim cannot attack first in a war until they are attacked. Neither can a Christian or a Jew.
Pretty intresting stuff if you ignore the propoganda. I strongly reccomend you read stuff written by western authors prior to WW2 which was before the whole bais began. Napolion hill whote a excellent peice on Islam in one of his books.
Most of what you see now on TV is manufactued. Even back in the days of Salvery the printed media would make slaves who wanted freedom to appear as the most evil criminals.
edit: fixing my last clumsy post.
The media issue is separate and the post-WWII date for the bias is questionable, but the rest of that stuff is good info.
