Virtual Jihad game in Chicago Museum: goes over the line or not?

http://www.nbc10.com/more/16898140/detail.html

Basically an artist called Wafaa Bilal created a video game where the player is a suicide bomber on a mission to kill President Bush.

It is being displayed in a Chicago museum and it has faced much protest around the nation.

What do you think about the game? Does it go over the line or is it protected by the freedom of speech?

I think we can all agree that the game looks horrible....

In response to the article, I say one mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter. America is occupying Iraq and has caused the deaths of 1 million Iraqis since 2003. Resistance is legitamate.

There is no such thing as going over the line in art. If you think Jihad is insane and atrocious its a way of life for more than one countrys worth of people.GodModeEnabled

I wouldn't call it a way of life but rather a necessary evil. The Afghan Mujahedin fought their jihad against the Soviets because it was the only way they could win back the land on which they've lived for thousands of years. The present jihad may not have the same noble intentions (if I understand it correctly it's more a question of politics and money for the ones in charge of it) but the same arguments are used to recruit men for it. War is not something they actually like :P

Sounds like an interesting game/objet d'art. I wonder if people actually get what he's trying to say though and not just get caught up on how controversial they think it is.
