Video game recalled over lines from Qur'ran
Story
So a video game has a bit of background music, and this music has lyrics in Arabic that turn out to be 2 lines from the Qur'ran, both of which translate to roughly the same meaning. Essentially, "All life eventually dies".
What I can't figure out is, who's offended?
Non-Muslims offended that there'd be lines from Qur'ran in a video game?
Muslims offended that the Qur'ran is being used in a commercial product?
And are either of those offenses worth acknowledgment in the form of a recall? Would a reference to "John 3:16" in a video game backing track result in a recall?
