This game refers to the ceasefire between the United States, Britain, and Iraq with militants from the Al-Qaeda group. There were about 2000 casualties in the war.

The Six Days in Fallujah Controversy
Currently, Highwire Games will take on the role of making this game after being canceled by Konami in 2010. This game itself is planned to be released this year too. Apart from all that, it turns out that no different from Konami, the release of the game Six Days in Fallujah made by Highwire Games also reaped controversy.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), an American Muslim rights and advocacy organization, has called on Sony, Microsoft and Valve to refuse distribution of the game. CAIR considers glorifying violence against Muslims and also the war in Iraq.
The Muslim Advocacy Group considers that the game is a simulator of killing Arabs. In addition, they think that the current video game should stop demeaning Muslims.
Victura’s flagship game only serves to glorify the violence that claimed hundreds of Iraqi lives, justify the Iraq war, and reinforce anti-Muslim sentiment.
