New Syrian Game Seeks Better Islam Image

The Syrian company Afkar Media is developing a strategy game called Al-Quraysh, which it is hoping will "correct the general public's attitudes towards Islam, alleviate tensions in the West, and do all manner of good things for the pride of young Muslims." The game takes place during the first 100 years after the origins of Islam. Aren't there any games created by Muslims that have fun, rather than ADVANCING THE INTERESTS OF A RELIGION, as the objective?
