That is what I agree with generally. You should never ignore things you care about. That's the beauty of free speech you can raise your voice about it.

On a curious topic you said "everybody's religions deserves to be respected".

I'm interested in knowing that Would you respect a religion if it did things you would not agree with? Or do you respect all religions regardless?

Well Christianity thinks Jesus is the son of God Almighty and I don't agree with it. But I respect it. By respecting I don't mean to fully agree that what they do is correct. People can disagree and have different views without disrespecting and coming at each other's throats. You just don't dis people or use their religious symbols and other sacred things in a way they themselves wouldn't agree. That's what I mean by respecting. And it's important to do it. You can't expect to have people convert to Islam when you are not even respecting others and their ideas in the first place. Why would people feel like following or even listening to a guy who doesn't respect them.

So the answer is Yes I respect all religions regardless. This doesn't necessarily mean I agree that it's correct.

Ok, thank you for clarifying.

If you really think this then there was no point in having a discussion with you.

It wasn't about obligations in the first place. It was about morals and ethics and to determine whether the Western community is biased and it is. It's an ethical act to respect everybody and everyone's religion. While you may not be obliged to respect everybody, if you don't do it, it's wrong. You statement has no logic. It's like saying it's their life they can do whatever they want. Maybe attack and do wars against Muslims and even keep some Muslim slaves against the laws and you will be sitting there saying "They are under no obligation to respect us in any way. It's their life, they can do whatever they want." :lol:

If they really are under no obligation to respect US why are they getting butthurt over a video game that depicts the story of American Invasion of Iraq?



There is a large difference between getting offended and disagreeing with a topic. What you are talking about is some one disagreeing with your idea. When you disagree with one's ideas you can do so in a respectful manner. Discussion should be held with sane and respectful persons who disagree with your idea but respect your opinion and want to understand better, not with a child who is disrespecting and rejecting your ideas. You don't do discussions with offended people. Advocating the right to get offended basically means yeah you can get angry and all "disrespectful" you want. This isn't ethical.

exactly well said

Y'all blaming 'western' studios .. I hope you do realize that a *LOT* of the basic artwork/texture work is often off loaded to satellite studios in different countries (eg India, maybe even Pakistan in some cases). So there's a very good chance the offending texture(s) were made in a completely different place and because the central studio's QA/QC studio doesn't have any familiarity with what it looks similar to, they let it pass.

In case of Little Big Planet, when people pointed out that a verse from the Quran was in one of the songs background vocals, they edited it out quickly.

Nobody's blaming them I think. I hope the OP understands as well that its mostly non-intentional and the devs do respond to requests of taking it down from the game. For me the issue is actually with our people (rather than the western devs) who think, things like these are just ok, another run-of-the-mill event. So you should either just play or don't play. They wouldn't even give a thought to raise a voice and let the devs know that "this is wrong/disrespecting in our religion so please take it down". Simply stating they don't care. At least that's the impression I get after reading a lot of replies by liberal minds here..

Thank you all for discussing this fine piece of topic.

Hope we can have regular discussions on various other topics related to video games, technology and softwares.
