I've been thinking about a level in response to this:
You are all that stand between the Twin Towers and a giant rampaging effigy of the prophet Muhammad, complete with bomb shaped turban. You launch flaming shoes at the effigy in an attempt to ignite the fuse on the turban bomb, destroying Muhammad.
they're just thinking of the muslim extremist PS3 owners looking forward to LBP who don't have an internet connection
what gives me the most rage is the fact that there's a guy out there who got the game early, enjoyed it then complained about a non-issue (I say non issue because the song was written by a devote muslim and has been around for a few years and not caused any controversy) and now everyone else has to wait longer.
Everyone knows my stance on religion, and I consider it offensive they've recalled a product to "satisfy" a minority of people who beleive in a fictional diety.
If it had been a Christian/Jewish/Buddish/Sikh etc... verse then no-one would have batted an eyelid.

The offense is supposedly taken over the fact that passages from the Qur'an are mixed into a song, nothing to do with it being in a game - so why was the song available for licensing if it was so offensive?

this. Although Muslims seem to be hogging the limelight recently, all the other religions have equally dicklike people.
For that matter, ive met some pretty hardcore non-religious people who can be just as dicklike when it comes to religion, precisely *because* they don't believe in a god.
Some people are just dicks. If they are not being dicks about religion, they are being dicks about race or politics or some other thing.
