A new computer game, “Mosque Guards,” is “being distributed in eastern Jerusalem that is suitable for smartphones and the home computer.” The game was developed by “a Turkish society called ‘Reading Time.’”

It’s no surprise that Turkish developers are behind it. Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is a fervent supporter of the Palestinian jihad. He called last March for an “army of Islam” to attack Israel on all sides.

Erdogan also proclaimed that “‘Jews in Israel’ beat Palestinian women and children, telling his audience at an Istanbul meeting of the Turkey Youth Foundation that Muslims must ensure Israelis are ‘taught a lesson.’” He went on: “But as Muslims, will confront these people [the Jews] if they have courage to deal with us and we’ll teach them a lesson.”

“Mosque Guards” is incitement of young Palestinian jihadis, exhorting them to ramp up their vioence against Israel and its citizens. These jihadis are indoctrinated to believe that they are on a “holy” mission to “liberate” “Palestine” from the River to the Sea, that is, obliterate Israel, in the name of Islam. The jihadi mission is made to look as if the jihadis are brave warriors fighting against alleged Jewish oppression. “The goal of the game is to teach the youth all the secrets of the Al-Aqsa Mosque during a virtual tour, and the players are seen as strong, warrior-like people who have already experienced the game and report that the game trains them to confront the Jerusalem Police.”

The winner of Mosque Guards receives the key to the Mughrabi Gate and the title “Liberator of Jerusalem.”
