You are a good guy, acting like a terrorist and deliberately killing anyone and everyone in a shopping mall....
Its asking a question: Can you do it?

Thanks - I guess that opens it up. I could play all the hero stuff, but would struggle on that level.
editL this is the level in question - do not watch if you are a wowser or easily offended.

I have an idea for a video game, maybe infinity ward will develop it for me some day.
You can play as an Iraqi Insurgent who has the choice of roles to pick, foot soldier, torture specialist or suicide bomber.
As the suicide bomber, you get achievements based on the number and type of civilians killed in one of your attacks (I say ONE of your attacks since its a game and you have more than one life)
You wont automatically getting 72 virgins for being a martyr, the number varies. 10 virgins for a standard, small explosion in a market, killing less than 10 people, 25 virgins if you explode near an ice-cream truck, taking out some innocent women and children.
50 virgins if you blow up near a US military convoy and kill at least 10 soldiers and the full 72 virgins if you blow up in a market, near an ice cream truck as a US convoy drives by.
Of course the US wouldnt be the ideal place to market this game but Im guessing it would be an instant HIT in the Middle East market.
It's ridiculous to claim that video games don't impact on you in later life. I used to play tetris as a child and now I'm a master mason and brick layer. FACT.

I do think it’s very possible for someone who is impressionable. Say a kid or even an adult who is picked on and ridiculed by others in his age group and forms a general resentment towards society. To play these types of games and form a delusional mindset that he is capable of doing these things. And carry it out, without really thinking of the real life consequences.
Same can be said of movies, tv, music. Just look at what rap music has done to young society. They listen to that stuff and it forms their outlook on life and how they treat others.
Like it or not entertainment plays a huge role in shaping a large portion of the population’s mindset
