Re: A Muslims opinion please
I don´t see how much offense can be taken from anything over the internet but meh.
Remember its a game, not real life, things said are just for the fun moments.
If you take offense from these things you are taking them too seriously.

Re: A Muslims opinion please
first off: wouldn't they be more offended by the people who take this game WAY to seriously and call the other team towelheads over chat?
second of all: its a game, don't take it too seriously
don't let this turn into some giant religious/political correctness debate
also... i may be wrong here, but to whoever said that islam ist he religion MOST muslims believe in... i think that a muslim is to islam what a christian is to christianity

Ok, as a Muslim, I don't really get offended by that stuff. God is great is a phrase used for example if something extraordinary happens (and blowing up a C2 with Big Red IS extraordinary).
The derkah derkah stuff is just from a movie and doesn't MEAN anything. If at all, the non-Muslims should be offended because that movie portrays them as ignorant bigots.
Djihad is a bit more sensitive as a word, but in my perception it is rather rarely used.
On the other hand, I hate it if people on GB side say stuff like "ragheads" because that is a term used by some ignorants who hate any "A-rabs" just 'cause their A-rabs.
Mostly, if someone starts saying that stuff in my squad, I change squad.
Couldn't agree more with you...
i've even had a guy in my sq screaming stuff about jews while playing as ins... some people just like to hate everything they are not...
No reason for me to get upset about it, they got thier ideas i got mine..
(and i can laugh at thier ignorance aswell, wich is a bonus)

Re: A Muslims opinion please
I don't know when I play the Insurgent side that jihad music the car plays just gets me way into the role. Usually the squad I'm in will be goofing around anyway so it's always good natured banter on VOIP. Usually the whole squad ends up praising Allah after every kill or just bragging about who has more wives and of course what you will do when you finally get your 72 virgins.

I'm not Muslim but think its obvious that the Taliban and Insurgency factions are not ment to represent all Muslims. They are extremists. So someone screaming Allah in a combat situation is not uncommon.

Re: A Muslims opinion please
As a Muslim actually I dont mind people doing that(saying Allah Akbar). Actually I find it funny and hilarious and it adds to the atmosphere. But if someone says "Allah snackbar" or other variation with the word Allah(which means God),I find it a little offensive. But again its not a big deal because everybody has his own beliefs 
Just a quick info,Allah Akbar is not just a battle cry,it is even used in the compulsary daily prayers.
This is my opinion
p/s I've never get where "dirka dirka" came from lol never heard of it before

Re: A Muslims opinion please
I am not a muslim, but as many said the insurgents and taliban is just portraying the wars going on now. It would have been the same if NATO fought south american gerija troops instead. But they would need some other words though.

I found this sentence quite funny and since this is a war game forum I will put it here. No offense to the french just a good laugh.

Re: A Muslims opinion please
Gotta love Team America. One of the best things is how they portray the UN, so f'ing true:
Hans Blix: Then let me look around, so I can ease the UN's collective mind. I'm sorry, but the UN must be firm with you. Let me in, or else.
Kim Jong Il: Or else what?
Hans Blix: Or else we will be very angry with you... and we will write you a letter, telling you how angry we are.
