Forums - Politics Discussion - Damn religion tease strikes again

As most of you should know by now, Activision pulled a MW map due to "offensive content". And guess what group whined? Muslims. While this isn't hate toward them, as I don't and wouldn't judge an entire group because of a few individuals. However, they need to realize that more videos and more games will poke fun and tease their religion. Christians get made fun of every day. Catholics endure the same. Every religion is made fun of. But the thing that makes them different is how Christians, Catholics, etc tolerate it.

Modern Warfare = MW?

How is it offensive to religion.....wouldnt it be more of a racial issue...? So in this case, Arabs.

No, this one in particular was because somebody hung a painting with a frame containing quotations from the Qur'an above a toilet.

Ask yourself how many religions would have followers who would object to something like that. Yes, most Muslims are sane people, but it seems to me that insane Muslims are the worst insane people of all.

LOL you gotta be kidding me....

Just a quote? I thought it was some sort of disrespectful depiction of death or some other imagery that is actually offensive....I can understand at some things should not be in video games (in terms of the depiction of a religion) but just a quote? lol

Especially for a game like CoD, who the hell had the time to go and explore the scenery...I would of been too busy actually playing the game l0l.

People complaining probably havent even played the game, just heard about it



Why the distinction between Catholic and Christian?



Remember LBP delay because of the song... yeah...

And this is a map from MW2, a game that is almost 3 years old now. It's just ridiculous.

Catholicism is a branch of Christianity....

Catholicism and Christianity are different, though. There is such a religion that is called just "Christianity." (Non-Denominational Christianity, I think is what it is called.)



Ugh, so annoying seeing them get their way -_-U

The last paragraph really sucks:

"This raises all sorts of questions concerning artistic freedom and religious tolerance --  especially in the wake of last month's attacks on the U.S. embassy in Libya, and the United Nations' recent proposals to outlaw "blasphemy" -- but I think it's safe to say that Activision is making the right choice here."

That blasphemy law is BS.
