Honestly i did not. as usual i check they news Headlines on Yahoo. (Mainly the entertainment section) and i see a game that i was waiting for is not going to be released becasue of some religios ranting. i am somewhat happy to say that it was not the Catholic Church this time but the Muslims. this is a clipping from the article .
The "social platforming" game is already gathering rave reviews, but it hasn't proven popular with one Muslim group, which issued a complaint to the game's publisher Sony concerning one background music track. Performed by award-winning Malian musician Toumani Diabate, the song quotes two verses from the Qur'an. Many Muslims consider the mixing of music and scripture to be deeply offensive.
This is the first time that i have heard any kind of intervening by the Islamic faith. i am sure that there will be some kind of settlement and the game will come out later than expected.
I am just waiting for the Catholic church to say that it is promoting Atheism in some sort of way. (They Always seem to do that.) they even tried to say that my favorite series was promoting beliefs in other gods and the movie Juno was giving the Catholic message when Juno decided not to give an abortion.
but that is a post for another time.
just remember, I did not see this coming.
