Beyond the political ramifications, I'd be all over a flash game about the Muslim Borg.

I don't think many writers deliberately sit down and go "OK, this race is going to be stand-in for race/cultural group X". What I do find worrying and frustrating is that how we use our limited understanding of other cultures as a shorthand to describe what we're trying to achieve artistically. We're not doing anything any favours by reducing cultures and serious historically events into tiny descriptive statements. Both the work, or whatever, and the culture/historic event are cheapened. Gaiders statement is as silly as the "Dalish are the jews in exile" and the "Alienage = Auschwitz" ideas that we're floated around when DA:O came out.
KvP:
Are you ready for virtual BJs?
Also this game is out in about a month and 4 days.
KvP:
Money on the PC always on the receiving end, not the giving end. That would be pretty gay.
