The famous “Call of Duty” game apologizes to Muslims

A wave of anger swept through social networking sites, especially among fans of electronic games, after they found pages that appear to have been cut from the Holy Qur'an, on the floor of one of the maps of the famous combat game "Call of Duty".

The tweeters used the hashtag #No_Call_of_Duty to express their anger and call for a boycott of the game.

 According to the BBC, the American video game company Activision quickly apologized for the matter, following widespread discontent and boycott campaigns by Arab and Muslim players.

The company said, through the game's page dedicated to the Middle East region on Twitter, that it had removed the "offensive content", which was added in the latest update to the game.

"Call of Duty is made for everyone," she added on Twitter.

There was content wrongly placed against Muslims last week, and it has been removed from the game.

We deeply apologize.

We are also taking all necessary measures to avoid such mistakes in the future.”

While tweeters welcomed the company's apology, some rejected it, and considered this type of abuse a "red line", and tweets posted videos depicting their screens deleting the game or its applications from their devices.

Tweeters pointed out that this is not the first time that the "Call of Duty" game has "offended" Muslims, explaining that the same incident was repeated in previous years.

Others added that designing games takes a long time and programming, so "it is impossible to be just a mistake," they said.

Tweeters called on Activision to set strict rules that "prevent the inclusion of any religious symbols in the game."

Call of Duty is one of the most popular video games in the world.

It is a combat game based on merging real scenarios of war and military battles with fantasy.
