but i may see that it offending to some non musilman that don't want to be forced to listen to muslim content, and everyone has the right to choose what to listen to.

Uhm... wha?

So this is because people who are NOT muslim may be offended by some lyric they don't understand, because it's in the Somalian language?

That's reaching for it.

Although you as a muslim, may not be offended by it (good!), the game is being pulled because of possible Muslim backlash, not because "some non-muslim may be offended by having to hear two qur'an references they wouldn't be able to comprehend anyway".

well suposing you're a good (insert any religion) and you played the game, you loved the song, the sentences got stuck in your head and you spend your day mumbling the lyrics (even if in somalian that happen) after 2 weeks of mumbling you discover that those lyrics are two line of another religion that you don't believe in, I bet you you'll be furious, if this happen to me I'll feel cheated, and that's exactly what I mean ;) .

 

I doubt that very much.  I believe most faiths are tolerant.  I can appreciate the song that was removed as a song without concern for the religious references.    

To be honest, I find your original post misguided and patronising.  Sony have stated why the game was delayed so there is no value in any of us trying to put our own interpretations on why it might have happened.  

Least said, soonest mended.
