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?

Well, all life DOES eventually die - does anyone have an issue with THAT?

Yeah, that's what's extra-stupid about this, it's not like they are even particularly controversial lines.

And if anyone ever developed a game about the pubococcygeus muscle that was politically correct, it would be a PC PC PC.
