The 12 tribes of Israel have returned to the land of Israel. Will you unite them according to God's prophecy, or tear them apart and leave a valley of bones?

Two question marks? I think you already know why this map can be considered controversial.
1) The aim of the map is overtly religious.
2) The aim of the map is overtly political.
Both are contentious.

How can this map be remotely controversial? It is not overtly religious, no more than Third Crusade is. As for being political, did not realise that the twelve tribes where running for office any time soon.

If you're not, read the quote in the OP- it's from the map.

I know the map, I gave it its first stamp in the foundry. Their really is nothing wrong with having that quote on the map, but if you feel that strongly about it, why did you not post in the thread? That is the normal thing to do. You want to comment on a map, you post in that maps thread.

Looking forward to your response to Doc_Brown.

Not at all. Every single aspect is discussed in map threads. If you truly have an opinion on any aspect of any map, post in the maps thread. 2 of my own maps have had discussions along this line. Magyarország and Rorke's Drift have both got stories on them. One just before being played, holding it up for over a month and the other whilst in beta. Players like you have become involved in the threads to get them changed. So get in there and post your concerns.
No point bitching about a map if you are not willing to help produce it.

Meh- If the aim of the map, as stated by the map, is to fulfill "God's prophecy", what can I say to Doc when he asks how is the map overtly religious?

Maybe you misread his post.
1) The aim of the map is overtly religious. DB agrees. It's religious--like the 12 tribes of Israel, God's prophecy, etc. as the story goes.
2) The aim of the map is overtly political. DB disagrees.
What do you mean by '[i]overtly[/] religious'?
How exactly is the aim of the map overtly political?

No, you can aim to fulfill God's prophecy, or you can tear them apart. The aim is whichever you choose.

Aye, nothing overtly religious there.

Is there a rule against religious maps?
