i think its a copy of what happened in mumbai last year where pakistani terrorists stormed a shopping mall. i dont really find it disturbing playing as the terrorist if it helps tell the story but its not something i want to do in a video game. they could have used cut scenes to tell this part of the story.

The thing is those terrorists in Mumbai were just slack-jawed yokel boys from the ass-end of nowhere. They were fed shit and brainwashed into thinking they were warriors of god and their sacrifice would ensure their family's future. The communications intercepts from Mumbai showed that they had to be prodded on by their handlers because they kept stopping and staring at big windows and wide-screen TVs.

The real terrorists there were the bastards sitting in a bunker in Pakistan convincing these kids to murder innocents and kill themselves, which is about as big a sin in Islam as you can get. If this is done to make people think about vulnerable people being brainwashed by assholes and the need for education then great, if it's just a "Lolz we r evl terorist!" then it's a pretty shoddy attempt at controversy.
