(CNSNews.com) - A U.S. Islamic advocacy group Tuesday
called on the country's largest retailer to stop
selling a video game it says glorifies religious
violence and could negatively affect interfaith
relations. 

The game, "Left Behind: Eternal Forces," is described
on the game's website as a real-time strategy game
based on the best-selling book series "Left Behind."

It allows gamers to "join the ultimate fight of good
against evil, commanding Tribulation Forces or the
Global Community Peacekeepers, and uncover the truth
about the worldwide disappearances" - a reference to
the end-time rapture.
