Even if you hold the position that they're islamist pirate ninjas from space or whatever why is it they're not allowed to speak? I don't see many people crying and shitting over every other horrible person who's ever been interviewed on a wide reaching platform.

Like there's not this level of anger when they interview BTK for the 99th time is there?

(I do not hold the position that these people are equivalent but the rhetoric around this guy makes me believe that others do)

There's rightwing conspiracies about Islam being a lunar cult, so all we need is the "ninja" part

Assassins originated from the word “hashashin”, a Muslim group that killed while high on hashish

In hindsight it's pretty wild that one of the largest game franchises out there started with a game where you literally played a Muslim terrorist.

None of the random americans that were the target audience could figure out what assassins creed was actually about so it skated by

lunar cult? lunar-based cult?

There's a couple of clever clues you see. You may notice that Islam uses a crescent moon as their symbol. As a white guy from Mississippi, I have cunningly figured out that this represents the moon. Which means that they worship the moon, just like us X-tians worship the cross.

[-] voight@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago

Liberals will try to convince you that Muslims summoning the moon to crush us all in a big ritual is of no concern

turns out Nintendo did depict Muhammad one time and no one really noticed because they were too busy arguing that OoT was still better

I promise you they won’t say this about their grandpappy watching Tucker Carlson and Fox News which have more of a material effect on reality than Hasan lol
