Video games

Quest for Al-Qa'eda: The Hunt for Bin Laden

Released in early 2002, Quest for Al-Qa'eda was a first person shooter, developed independently by Petrilla as a Mod of the video game Duke Nukem 3D utilizing the Build Engine.^[9] In the game, the player is tasked with destroying Osama Bin Laden and his forces.^[10]

Released as a free download, and due to heavy media coverage, the game received over 2 million downloads over the span of approximately one year.^[10] The reviews were mixed. When compared to commercial games, Quest for Al-Qa'eda received poor reviews, but earned points with critics solely for its comical aspects.^[9][11]

Quest for Saddam

Released in May 14, 2003 by Petrilla Entertainment, during the buildup to the Iraq War, Quest for Saddam was a budget first-person shooter featuring Iraq's ex-leader as the target of the player's aggression. Due to its content, it received a rating of M for mature by the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB).^[12] The game was built on the platform of the Torque video game engine.

In 2006, an Al-Qa'eda linked group called the Global Islamic Media Front released a modification of Quest for Saddam, calling it Quest for Bush: The Night of Bush Capturing.^[9][13] In commenting on the issue, Petrilla told the Washington Post, "They say imitation is the highest form of flattery. But I'm not flattered."^[13]

Politics

Petrilla served as a California delegate to the 2008 Republican National Convention in Saint Paul, Minnesota.^[14][15] Petrilla was elected in 2010 to the City Council of Rancho Santa Margarita, California, receiving 7,396 votes,^[16] and served from 2010-2014. He ran unsuccessfully for the California State Assembly in 2014.

Controversies

Gun charges

On March 11, 2001, when Petrilla was 17 years old, he was arrested and charged with 14 Counts (12 Felony Counts) for his involvement in a brawl in which he fired multiple warning shots from a rifle. Petrilla plead No Contest to two of the counts and was sentenced to 240 days in jail by Judge James L. Roeder, and five years of formal probation for which he served three years. The charges were later reduced to misdemeanors and dismissed after Petrilla petitioned the court.^[17]

U.C. Irvine campus cartoon controversy

On February 28, 2006, while head of United American Committee, Petrilla organized an event at the University of California, Irvine which displayed controversial Danish cartoons of the Islamic prophet Mohammad. The event was a panel discussion on the root causes of ongoing riots related to the cartoons which had been published by the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten. The event included panel speakers from Christian, Jewish, and Muslim backgrounds, and displayed anti-Semitic and anti-western cartoons from Middle-Eastern newspapers alongside the Danish cartoons of Mohammad. The event attracted hundreds of Muslim protesters and was harshly criticized by Muslim leaders who deem any depictions of their prophet to be offensive. It gained international exposure with global coverage on major news networks.^{[18][19][20][21][22]}
