Just a quick FYI to all developers out there, don`t include the phrase "Allahu akbar" in your games as it really torks off people of the faith and they will go after you to remove the phrase. Apparently the phrase made it into a clip of the game Zach & Wiki that was released online and immediately drew protests from the Islamic community. I`m not sure why the phrase which translates to "God is most Great" is so offensive but it`s something that developers are going to have to keep in mind when they develop games.

You have to wonder if the same community asked for the phrase to be removed from the Jihad game or any of the other middle eastern games or if this is something specific to game developed by people outside the faith.
