Pokemon Condemned by Moslems

ADL Condemns Moslem Campaign Against Pokemon The Anti-Defamation League has condemned Moslem leaders in Jordan, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia for railing against Pokemon, a children's game that originated in Japan, for being part of a "Zionist conspiracy" aimed at luring Moslem children into immoral activities such as gambling. In March, top Saudi cleric Sheikh Abdul Aziz bin Abdullah al-Sheikh issued a fatwa urging "all Moslems to beware of this game and prevent their children from playing it," because it resembles gambling and promotes Zionism with cards that feature "six-pointed stars, a symbol of international Zionism and the State of Israel."
