[QUOTE="ginraisama"][QUOTE="hhttppp"][QUOTE="ginraisama"] people who get offended by this are just stupid... i'm an atheist and by that way of thinking every game that had any reference to any for of divine being should be offensive to me...
i wonder why it's not...
oh i know now... because it's just a game
hhttppp
Thats fine as its your opinion and there is no right answer to all this. His views differ from yours and thats just how it is.
I have spent a lot of time around Muslims and I can easily say they take their religion more seriously most, so this doesnt surprise me at all. Muslims live there religion in every aspect of there lives and have an amazing amount respect for Islam. They wont touch the Quran without washing their hands and they wont place other objects on top of it. If there is a movie made about islam, they wont have actors to depict the prophets, but instead act as if the prophet is off screen because they find it disrespectful to have any man imitate a prophet of god even if it is for entertainment.
So of course having verses from the Quran put over instrumentals in a video game is offensive to them. You dont have to agree with his views, but you should at least respect them.
don't confuse respect for submission... since when are the islamic values our values?
if they don't like it, don't buy the game... but i'm offended by them telling us how to live our lives or how to make our games... freedom is not a right, it's a previlege that our ancestors fought and died so we could enjoy it. how dare anyone tell us what we can or can not talk about?
the ammount of respect they give their religion doesn't imply i or anyone else should respect it. i respect people, ideas are always... ALWAYS... debatable
You speak as if that freedom is only for a certain group. Muslims in the US fall under that same freedom. If they feel offended by something they have the right to speak out. In this case a Muslim did and Sony is doing what they feel is the right thing to do.
By your logic I should be able to go into work and tell all the women I think they're sexy and they have nice racks. Thats freedom isnt it? But if it offends them then they have the right to act against it. Calling a gay dude a flamer, or a black dude an N word would be freedom correct? Well what if they find it offensive? This Muslim guy spoke out against something he found offensive and thats freedom.
Freedom doesnt simply apply to you, or a specific group you are a part of. What you think is freedom happens to be the furthest thing from it.
i agree. every thing should have limits, even freedom.
