Lots of players and clans name themselves after specific terrorists, terror istorganizations, and philosophies used to promote terrorism, including: Bin Laden, Al Baghdadi, Al Queda, Al Nusra, Isis, Isil, Islamic State, or any name with Mujahidin or jihad in it.
SC should not let its game be used as a platform to promote terrorism and terrorist organizations. Please ban these names.
These are trolls.
Real terrorist have better things to do than playing a mobile game...

Some of them are, but some of them might be kids who look up to terrorists but are too young to join, or college kids who fantasize about running off to fight for ISIS but aren't ready to... yet. Some could even be recruiters. A video game is a good platform for reaching young people, you know.Quote:

This is where you kinda really put my back up. Not all Islams are terrorists and so having clan names like Islamic State or Jihad or even a username with Muhammad- just anything like that is fine! Its their religion!Quote:

Honestly, if you are a college kid in the US and are somehow recruited to join an Islamic terrorist organization through an mobile gaming app... well, have fun fighting and dying against our overwhelming force.Quote:

They warned you about that...they don't condone terrorism per se. Its all about viewpoints. Although worldwide some are recognized as terrorist organizations, there are some that believe that what they are doing is fulfilling the works of a higher power, making it technically a religious organization with very radical members. People also believe that the FBI, NSA, etc are all domestic terrorists based on the allegations put against them and the whole Eric Snowden incident but we still revere them as authority. Like i said, it all depends on personal viewpoints and worldwide views.
Exactly, cant believe I'm agreeing with you, you damn zapper :pQuote:

Ok, this is religionist. This is a huge stereotype for Muslims.

I'm against all kinds of racist and terrorist behavior, not just those related to Muslims. Some clans are called Nazi and KKK also, and I don't think SC should allow that either.
I really don't get your "as long as it isn't directly offensive" comment. What could be more offensive than a group that advocates cutting people's hands off for smoking, stoning people who commit adultery, raping and enslaving women captured in battle? Are you trying to say that this is not offensive but a name containing profanity would be? I have to disagree.
