FURSAN AL-AQSA - THE KNIGHTS OF AL-AQSA MOSQUE is a Third Person Shooter game which addresses the Israel x Palestine conflict from a Palestinian perspective, breaking the cliché of representing Muslim and Arabs as Terrorists, Bandits, Villains and the Americans/Israelis as the "Good Guys" and "Heroes" of History. This is the first game in the games industry which addresses such a sensitive topic, in a realistic way, showing the other side of history, which is very unknown by people, mostly here on west.

NIDAL NIJM GAMES

Nidal Nijm Games is a Solo Indie Game Development Studio focused on creating games that show the Other Side of History. I am a Brazilian, son of Palestinian Immigrants, Muslim. My father is an ex-fighter of Palestinian Resistance, he fought for the Independence of Palestinian State. From since childhood I felt too much proud of my father and the Palestine People in general, because of their Strength and Constant Resistance. As a kid, my father always encouraged me to the field of technology, especially games. And being an avid gamer since my childhood, I always dreamed to play a game on which we, Arabs, Muslims, were the Heroes, instead of "Terrorists". So I decided that I would become a game creator to develop the games I wanted to play.
