Lego attracts Muslim wrath over new game

http://i.huffpost.com/gen/956130/thumbs/o-LEGO-STAR-WARS-JABBA-THE-HUT-PALACE-570.jpg?6Danish toy giant Lego agreed to withdraw a 'Star Wars' game featuring a mosque-like building inhabited by an obese, hookah-smoking terrorist, following complaints that it was anti-Muslim.
The game features Jabba the Hutt, the slug-like villain who first appeared in the 'Return of the Jedi' film, who lives in a domed, oriental-looking building equipped with rockets and machine guns. 

He also smokes a water pipe and keeps Princess Leia in chains for use as a belly dancer. 

Furious Muslim critics complained that the game's Asian and oriental figures were "deceitful and criminal" characters.
