I believe the game should be released as is. If it offends anyone then they don't have to purchase it.

If this makes the Muslims go crazy again and start rioting so be it because they are only showing how foolish they are.

I thought the US didn't negotiate with terrorists? Why do we let these minority groups get away with this crap?
How did we let America become such a pussy? 1 guy complains and that is enough to stop an entire multi-national corporation? What planet is this?

Your right Muslims aren't necessarily terrorists. Infact most aren't

However this doesn't change Islam from being a disgusting religion and perhaps the most opposing religion when it comes to human rights.

in over 6bil, 1.4 is a minority, both globally and in the US. Oh, and the majority of the most dangerous tenets of radical islam have been continually in existence since 670, but modern weapons and the fanaticism of large populations has only been possible in recent times. Sony made a smart move to avoid any potential litigation, but there's a double standard being upheld for the Islamic minority which must at no costs be antagonized--and that is unfair.

my friend 1.4 from 6 is not a minority...its not like 6 - 1.4..its 6-1.4 muslims- christians- jews -hindus- hundred more religions...its the percentage from the 6 that counts when it has been divided into the constituents......islam the second largest and fastest growing religion....and your educated comment on radical islam from 670 is unbelivably naive...even if there were a hand full of ignorant so called muslims from 670 then that has been part of every major religion to date...a radical muslim = a criminal = not a muslim ...please keep your concepts clear...a person who harms another for a bad reason is oxymoron for muslim...

[citation][nom]eklipz330[/nom]I am a muslim, and I think they are doing a great thing. I respect the fact that they respect our way of life. We don't take kindly to offensive behavior, treat others as you would want to be treated.[/citation]

It is good that they respected you, but they did not respect me. I am an atheist, and this decision disrespected me. I could be offended that someone's religious views took precedence over my views (and the views of those with similar beliefs), but I am not. Mostly I feel disappointment.

One of the biggest sources of disappointment is the lack of conviction such cries of offense demonstrate. What threat to your faith does it pose if someone says "I do not believe Allah is the one true God" or sings from the Qur'an for artistic interpretation? How do these acts of others shatter your faith or conviction?

Perhaps it is not that you are offended, but you fear others may loose their faith - children, siblings, or friends may loose their faith if they find out there are those who question your belief's views?

Respect walks hand in hand with tolerance and forgiveness. Tolerance means accepting that there are those who have views that differ from your own. Forgiveness means being at peace with someone who has differing views. If you cannot tolerate my views and forgive me for having them, then you do not respect me.

I sincerely hope in the future we all find a way to truly respect one another.

I understand him being offended allright. But what happens with other religions? I mean. in the case of christianity, Jesus and the bible get mocked in everyway possible and if they complain people treat them like fundamentalist and intolerant. A muslim complain about a song in a game and suddenly Sony recalls all the game. Thats a BIG WTF! lol. I think they are afraid of being the target of a holy war or something jaja.

Jesus and the Bible get mocked in everyway possible and nobody seems to do anything about it and if a christian complain people call him fundamentalist and/or intolerant. A muslim complains about a song in a game and Sony does a full recall. Way to go.

So it's fine that a US Government funded agency can use tax payer money to display, and give the top award to Piss]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piss_Christ]Piss Christ[/url]?

Piss Christ is a controversial photograph by American photographer Andres Serrano. It depicts a small plastic crucifix submerged in a glass of the artist's urine. The piece was a winner of the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art's "Awards in the Visual Arts" competition,[1] which is sponsored in part by the National Endowment for the Arts, a United States Government agency that offers support and funding for artistic projects.

Yet a few words in the Qur'an with the wrong music in a song, buried in a game is a heinous offense, and is responded to immediately as not to offend anyone? Double standard anyone?

Give me a break. I have zero tolerance for this bullsh!t.

dude thats what is happening here isn't it...just replace that christian with that muslim..if he is complaing ppl call him a fundamentalist and intolent...

by the way i hear this again and agian that Jesus (peace be upon him) and the bible get mocked every now and then but who is to blame here...if the christians like one of u brothers here could have stood up and atleast posted a thread in the forum like the muslim bro did over mocking religion then may be things would have been a little stringent and ppl would ve thought twice before they made fun of Jesus (PBUH), but I feel sorry to say my christian buddies aren't taking it as highly regarded as it should be may be v r too lazy to even care about that?...if u think something is wrong say it, otherwise dont make an example out of something that could have been avoided by yourself...

LOL, fucking religious people piss me off. Any real Muslim (or Christian for that matter) would also be offended by dozens of other lyrics in the game too.

This is just another example of the hypocrisy of Muslims.
I don't know why anyone takes them seriously, expect they did manage to to fly some jets into the World Trade Centers and the Pentagon... and I think they used flight simulator games to train on that as well!

I am offended by all of them. I'm glad I already boycott Sony.
I just proves that I was right all along.

What I don't get is the offense is with the song, why doesn't the little offended muslim take his complaints to the ARTIST and RECORD LABEL?
