Just give them something to seethe about. Frankly, what do they not seethe over?
Muslim leaders condemned a new war game where teams of soldiers shoot at enemies - dressed as Arabs.Oooh, pushing the envelope there, boys. How dare you tell the truth!
Men in camouflaged military gear battle opponents wearing shemaghs - the traditional headdress of Arab men - at Zulu 1 Tactical Airsoft Simulations.
Participants use replica machine guns, pistols and sniper rifles which fire 6mm BB rounds at a 20-acre former RAF hospital in Nocton, Lincs.
Images from the company's website show soldiers pointing rifles at hooded "Arab" men spreadeagled on the floor following "close quarter battles."
Founders Peter Jenkins, 41, and Darren Howells, 42, denied the use of Arab headdress was racist, claiming it was the "easiest way to tell who the enemy are."
But the Muslim Association of Britain slammed the scheme as "short-sighted and foolish."Really, where would anyone get the idea Arabs can be violent? Perhaps from all the Arab terrorists?
Executive member Mokhtar Badri said: "Any sort of game that associates guns and violence with a particular culture is clearly wrong.
"They could use any other type of colour or dress to tell between teams which would not cause offence.Like this environment?
"Using Arab dress, especially in the current climate, is short-sighted and foolish.
"And regardless of the offence causes, young people should not be given the opportunity to play in an environment where guns are being glamourised."
