Islamic State militants are planning to launch a "GTA"-style video game wherein violence, especially against Western targets, is glorified. Experts fear the game would brainwash children into thinking killing is normal.

Daily Star UK reports that IS militants are planning to release a video game wherein players could have "fun" destroying Allied and Iraqi forces. A trailer for the game has already been released online. Probably to catch the attention of mainstream video players, the said game is unofficially patterned on the popular "Grand Theft Auto" series. It is even given the title of "Grand Theft Auto: Salil Al-Sawarem," which translates to "the sound of swords coming together."

The game features a lot of violence, wherein the main character is dressed up as a rebel fighter carrying an assault rifle, donning a black bandana, black shirt and camouflage trousers. While the rebel fighter fights and kills, cries of "Allahu Akbar," meaning "God is great," can be heard. This is the phrase suicide bombers shout in their final moments.

IS militants take ownership of the game as the IS logo can be seen at the top of the screen. Characters all throughout the game are beheading and killing their Western victims. Western vehicles, such as police cars and army trucks, are being blown up all the time as well. IS media puts forward that the game has the goal of raising "the morale of the mujaheddin," or the people carrying out jihad, "and to train children and youth how to battle the West and to strike terror into the hearts of those who oppose the Islamic State".

Mufaddal Fakhruddin, the senior editor of the Middle Eastern branch of the U.S.-based video games and entertainment site, IGN, said that this is worrying. "This could really effectively be used to twist simple minds into believing that so-and-so people are the real culprits and they could be dealt with easily by picking up a weapon or blowing up a vehicle," he is quoted as saying by Daily Star UK.

Currently, a new post from the militant group is threatening Canada, National Post reports. An ISIS fighter from Canada is calling for attacks on Canadian soil.
