 That's a little funny. We all know what they meant by these
 names.
 Anyway, I wouldn't mind if they used them in the condition that they
 show enough respect for those names (i.e. not using them as
 a game character the player controls ..etc)

 Agreed, and anyway I once saw in the official Civilization site some
 history notes and they were really honest (original Civilization game
 makers) only that they give a few fake pictures for the prophet and Abo
 Bakr Al-Seddeek that is hand drawn I think.
