MuslimGamer.com - A site, Enter with an OPEN mind

Hey, so, Im Muslim and Id like to let you guys know about this site:

www.muslimgamer.com - its called Muslim Gamer

Yes, I know its a religiously focus site but it also has articles that illustrate that we game too. See if you like it.

whats the point of combining religion with a game website?

to game with people that share something in common.

That is how friends are made, by sharing something. Also, it problably doesnt help to play with Westerners because, on more than one occasion, I have seen people that are muslim to get a lot of trash talking.

It's nice to see that you are open about it. Though, I dont necessarily think, race, religion, sexuality and even language barriers matter all that much, just as long as everybody in my multiplayer game/server is having fun. That probably one of the most underrated features of PC gaming as the community--modding, competitive, casual or otherwise--are always quite transparent with their backgrounds.

lol. I knew that would be a question. Its more of a news/opinion site and a hub. I guess it kind of humanizes Muslims too because many people like to degrade us to the likeness of animals and this shows we do the same things others do too. :D. Gamesterpheonix

Best regards for ya, Sadly most people using this site are ignorant and will hate on you for being religious. GL

Edit: But the new trend now a days is hating Christians so you might be alright.

Stupid Trend IMHO

You dont have to show/prove anything...Religion is not a barrier...

Like you aren't the majority where you are or anything.

seems well put together... quickly read a few articles.... didn't see much i needed to keep an open mind about but i guess some people are more closed minded then others ;)

People of all religions are degraded by a wide variety of people. Muslims are no different.

Decently setup website for games, not bad at all. I just don't understand the need to affiliate it with a religion.

Seems a bit of an odd combination.

Would you make singlemomgamers.com?

I guess if you feel that religion is something that really defines your life and all aspects of it, then it makes sense to have a religion specific gaming site, but it does seem a bit peculiar to me.

But all the best of luck to you, mate.

Each to his own.

theyve been doing this for a while...remember bible quest?

You know that Islam condems video games.DevilMightCry

I am gonna have to second this. There are a lot of BS (and often falsified) barriers between people, that several over-romanticize and/or flat out worship. Religion, in all the colors it comes in, is a prime example of this.

I am not religious, I prefer science, though I don't mind gaming in a Christian server, or a Muslim server, or any server for that matter, as long as the people in the said server are not overly annoying (hacking and all too).

Looks good, very well designed.

Do they also talk about muslim game devs? :) *aims at self*

Why have a problem with like-minded people in the gaming community gathering in one place? I am sure there are specific discussions relating to their religion and gaming. The only thing that I see is contradiction in a religious gaming website with war games on it. I can imagine a religious gamer site, but I would think the point would be to find games consistent with religious beliefs, like Portal or Chess....you know....no headshots or chainsaw kills?

But of course this opens the question is this cool with Islam? A think a Christian gaming site would be all about finding games you can play and still get into Heaven lol.

You can't deny that the perspective on Muslims hasn't changed since 9/11. Even in France, there has been large issues surrounding the burka (sp?). Islam has been gathering much more persecution in recent years than comparable to many other mainstream religions.

Wow...I didnt expect there to be as many level headed people commenting. I thank you for it. Gamesterpheonix

Lack of criticism = "level headed"

Right. I'll keep that in mind. Clearly if someone has issues with x religion then they are imbalanced :roll:

I'll spare you my criticism since this isn't the place but I do think that mixing religion with games is rather pointless. But whatever, have your fun.

I do have a question...where does this happen? To be honest i have never seen or heard anyone talk bad of muslims in arizona.

It is possible to have legitimate concerns and criticisms of Islam. It isn't bigotry nor is it ignorance to have them and voice them.

Now, at the moderators request, let's not derail this thread any further. There are forums dedicated to this kind of debate. If you feel like calling people bigots I suggest that you find one...

Well, honestly you are closer to the West Coast. People closer to the events of 9/11 have a more negative outlook on Muslim's in general.

I wish there were more people with your outlook in the world. +1

lol, thank you.. I love xkcd but I'm going to have to ask you to mod yourself for hi-jacking this thread. :Pflipin_jackass

Nothing wrong with making a site based on personal orientations, it might be for protection against prejudice and unnecessary debates (I've had those in here), discussions among Muslims that game, attracting particular demographics, etc. We have gaygamer.net, girlgamer.com, christiangamers.net, so how is muslimgamer.com anything new?

Just checked the site btw, "good burqa fun!"? Site looks awesome already. :lol:

A decent website but I don't like religion and gaming being put together as trolling will ensue. Don't want to see the first disgusting comment on here.

Dam thats a nice well put together site.
