Sony has issued a worldwide recall of its new game, LittleBigPlanet, in case it offends muslims.
They were warned by a beta tester that one of the backing tracks, written by a Somali muslim, contains two phrases that are in the Koran and might be considered offensive by fundamentalist muslim nutjobs.
Sony release a game last year with a scene where you could shoot people up in Manchester cathedral but they didn’t withdraw the game after they got complaints. Yet here they are, without even getting a complaint, withdrawing a game because it’s got some words out of the Koran in it.
Apparently putting bits of the Koran to music is offensive because they’re words of god. But Jesus was supposed to have been one of Allah’s prophets so his words were the words of god as well so why is it that muslims don’t start jumping up and down when they puts Jesus’ words to music? Or any part of the Old Testament which is one of the holy books of Islam? Why? Because it’s not offensive, it’s just an excuse to have a fucking whinge and take the piss.
Manzoor Moghal, of the Muslim Forum think-tank, explained that words from the Koran should not be set to music because the words are seen to have come directly from God.
He added: “We must compliment Sony for taking decisive action by withdrawing these games immediately, and releasing a version that is not offensive to Muslims.”
Yeah, well why don’t you just fuck off and live in a cave somewhere if you’re that bothered about being offended by the infidels? If you don’t want to listen to the soundtrack of the game, don’t buy it. If you hear it and it offends you then go somewhere where you won’t hear it. Or alternatively, get a fucking life.
Someone remind me why we constantly pussyfoot around these people instead of depriving them of oxygen.

Good one, this one, wasn’t it?
Got me a bit wound up as you can tell!
It was written by a Somalian, so it is probably ethnic music in a certain genre, will the ayatollahs issue a Fatwa against him?
Surely us older white gents will just say, ‘all this modern music, you cant hear what they are saying, you cant tap your foot along with, it was’nt like this in my day’ and indeed, we cant understand what he is saying because he is singing in somalian?
Maybe he is singing something bad, that they dont want us to hear like….. ‘kill them all, death will be our gospel’?
You would think if it was a good message, they would be happy to have it transmitted? ‘allah loves you’, ‘be nice to each other’ or ‘support your kids’
Hopefully the coming recession will put people priorities in the right order and our arms industry will be a much needed boost in producing things to civilise the primitives of the world.
These islamic wankers do not belong in the civilized world. Neither do their uneducated, uncultured imams.
