The game , while being released for some time beforehand , gained controversy around the seventh anniversary of the 2001 September 11 attacks . TechRadar 's Adam Hartley said that the game was " vile , childish , tedious and desperate to drum-up-controversy " . The chief executive of the Muslim youth organization , The Ramadhan Foundation Mohammed Shafiq commented that " encouraging children and young people in a game to kill Muslims is unacceptable , tasteless and deeply offensive " . He also stated that it " incites violence toward Muslims and is trying to justify the killing of innocent Muslims " , urging both the British government and Internet providers to shut the web site down . Inayat Bunglawala of the Muslim Council of Britain said that Vaughn and the ISPs who host the game should be ashamed , stating that " anti-Muslim prejudice is already on the increase and needs to be challenged and not reinforced through tasteless and offensive stunts like this . " Similarly , the president of the Islamic Council of Queensland Suliman Sabdia urged for the web site to be shut down by Police Minister Judy Spence , commenting that " this is the sort of game which creates hysteria . " Spence was concerned with the game , commenting that the web site has been " brought to the attention of police , who are making an assessment as to whether it breaches any legislation . " A Queensland Police spokesman announced that the game was examined , where " no offence was detected " . They referred the matter to Canadian authorities
