Mosque baba is a controversial computer game from 2010, which was initially launched on the websites of the Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ Styria) during the election campaign for the state elections in Styria 2010 . The computer game attracted a lot of media attention throughout Austria during the election campaign and was described by the Austrian Federal President Heinz Fischer as "bad taste".

description

The aim of the web browser game is to stop as many minarets , mosques and muezzins as possible , which appear one after the other on the screen. Critics speak of "shoot down". The game is inhuman. At the end of the game, the message appears that Styria is full of minarets and mosques. The developer of the computer game is the German advertiser Alexander Segert from the Swiss advertising agency Goal AG , who generated media attention in the Swiss minaret dispute with controversial minaret posters for the Swiss People's Party (SVP) and the original version of the game, Minaret Attack .

On September 2, 2010, following a complaint for “inciting and degrading religious teachings”, the Styrian public prosecutor's office in the National Council applied for the lifting of the immunity of the Styrian FPÖ chairman Gerhard Kurzmann and the game was removed from the website of the FPÖ Styria due to an injunction. As a result, the computer game was transferred to the website Alpen-Donau.info , which was classified as neo-Nazi and operated on US servers, and other web servers, whereupon the FPÖ Styria brought a lawsuit for infringement of copyright.

On October 14, 2011, Gerhard Kurzmann and Alexander Segert were acquitted of the charge of incitement to hatred by the Graz Regional Criminal Court.
