Terrorist group steals from a video game
« on: June 01, 2014, 10:18:33 pm »
So ISIS - that terrorist group you've probably been hearing a lot about on the news - just released a map of what they think the world's going to look like soon.



Look familiar?  Well, that's because they stole a screenshot from the video game Victoria II and doctored it.  How lazy can you get?

Who? No, seriously, for some supposed terrorist group, I've never heard of them.
There is light and darkness in the world, to be sure.  However, there's no harm to be had in walking in the shade or shadows.

These guys, who are sometimes called ISIL (Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant) or ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria). They've gone through a number of name changes.

They must've really rushed for Machine Guns, Nationalism and Imperialism and Medicine to be able to be able to claim all of those colonies before any of the European Great Powers. Very impressive.

Most Indonesians are Islamic already.

I wonder if the company that originally made that thing could sue the terrorists.  Oh, I know it'd do next to nothing, I just think it'd be funny.

Good luck holding that massive empire, guys. Imagine how bad their militancy and infamy must be.

Indonesia being the world's most populous muslim country. Although most Australians are ony familiar with Bali which is predominantly Hindu.

I like how, in a discussion about a terrorist group, none of us are even the least bit terrified.  In fact, we're all pretty much laughing.
Mockery of ideas you don't comprehend or understand is the surest mark of unintelligence.

The Somali pirates are more of a threat than these dipwads.
