[News] Capcom Removes Islamic Phrase From Wii Game

O, humanity. If it would have been "Sweet Jebus", nobody would have given a damn. Not that other religions are any better, but muslims tend to be hypersensitive regarding that matter (at least their spokespersons).

The inclusion in the game is of course disputable, but I think they just took the sample because it sounded "cool", like the original Fire Temple music from Ocarina of Time.

Quote:

CAIR lists itself as America's largest Islamic civil liberties group with 33 offices and chapters in the US and Canada, which strives to "enhance the understanding of Islam, encourage dialogue, protect civil liberties, empower American Muslims, and build coalitions that promote justice and mutual understanding."

Good thing the press release detailed the reasons for their complaint. I think a "duh" is in order here...

Jam it back in, in the dark.

True that. I'm curious as to how many complaints Capcom will get for that one.

And that's offensive how? I'd really like to know. I mean SILENT HILL frequently refers to God, yet nobody complained about that kind of "blasphemy".

Can you imagine a world without religion?

Believe in God, don't believe in God - it doesn't really matter, just don't support religion because "They're all pretty much the same", trying to control people and leeching money out of them.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
