They were very polite people from what I read:

"Certain Arabic hardcore gaming forums are already discussing this, so we decided to take action by emailing you before this spreads to mainstream attention.
We Muslims consider the mixing of music and words from our Holy Quran deeply offending. We hope you would remove that track from the game immediately via an online update, and make sure that all future shipments of the game disk do not contain it."

"We hope you act immediately to avoid any confusion and unnecessary controversy, and we thank you for making such an amazing game."

They even asked it to be removed through an online update.
I do not see anyone "going nuts" over this, nor would I call them crazy.

Oh, and thanks for the link.

I don't know who called them crasy, but there are several factors as to why the other thread exploded.

1. Alot of people were expecting 2-4 weeks delay which is a lot. Especially because of a point i'll make below.

2. People are really looking forward to the game and with (expected) almost a months ekstra wait, i can understand why some people get frustrated.

3. A lot of people are tired of complaining that directly or indirectly has an effect on them. They are tired of minor things being blown way out of proportions and probably also tired of the way the world governments are currently headed.

What we saw in the other thread was a combination of the three points above.

I too am pissed.. not so much now that i know how small the delay is, but that i can't enjoy the game at the time of it's release because someone found 2 small sentences offensive. Atleast here in my country we don't find many things offensively, but when we are affected by other people who get offended over (what we concider) nothing, then we have a tendency to get pissed :p I guess it's natural, the world might have gotten smaller, but the cultural differences are still huge.
