It was renamed?! No one told me of this.
"You know what the first rule of flying is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take a boat in the air you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps her in the air when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keels. Makes her a home."

It's easier for newer players to understand, and will prevent accidental teamkilling on a minor level. That is the only reason I can see.

I told you through Steam chat, if I remember right.

I renamed it, as some may find it offensive that it was called a "Jihad bomb".

This reason is minor, Just add a description saying: Explodes on use, killing all players nearby. That would probably cut it.

Yeah, As quoted from wikipedia
"other religions (including, for example, Judaism, Buddhism, Islam, and Hinduism) collectively make up about 4% of the adult population," So that leaves just the actual middle eastern people, Who have a ping deterrent and probably think games are immoral anyway. Also, If a server got a problem from this, The mod maker would probably change it, But that hasn't happened yet.

So, I have reached a conclusion:
LONG LIVE THE JIHAD

Edit: Successful quotes #LikeABoss

Also, This would put blame on the players, Because Let's be honest, Unless you make a rule, Everyone is still gonna call it a jihad, Nothing you can do.

WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH. First tip: Don't trust Wikipedia, it's not a reliable source. Second, you're saying it's not even possible that a person can live inside the US or europe or something like that, and play video games, and believe in Buddhism, Islam, and Hinduism etc.? Come on man. You don't even know what peoples religions are. For all we know, many people might have come on the server.

Ok, that is a huge assumption. So your saying because they are in the middle east that video game are immoral to them. That is slightly racist. So please do explain, why do you say that?

Umm. No. The mod maker doesn't care. He just made the mod. He made it how he wants it to be made, title and all.

Sorry, I explained that really badly. My point is that the minority group that could be offended (Muslims) Generally would not play video games. Also, There probably would be closer servers for middle eastern people. (The main muslim area as far as I know)
