A new Facebook application has taken Mafia Wars-type game play to a new level.

Al-Qaeda Wars is the first Facebook application offered from Rage On Gaming. The title allows participants to play as either a counter terrorist or a terrorist, and target various, slightly misnamed American celebrities when playing as the latter. 

Crispy Gamer notes that:

The end goal is to complete missions, build a global network and participate in special mission that depict the total destruction or protection of famous landmarks including the Statue of Liberty, Eiffel Tower, Big Ben, Taj Mahal, and the Sphinx.

The article’s author opines that players “may find the depiction of terrorists as highly offensive because they seem to be exclusively of Middle Eastern descent."

Does this strike GP readers as crossing any lines or not that big of a deal, just another game?
