Is this not all getting out of hand?


Two articles in the same day about 2 different forms of art or entertainment that have been censored because of the potential 'offense' they could cause to Muslims.

When did we suddenly get so scared? was it 9/11? are we now going to spend eternity censoring free speech or art anytime someone involved with the Muslim faith decides they dont like something?

The video game was recalled because its apparently offensive to put words from the Koran to music - who says? Muslims? OK then, well if you're Muslim, dont do it - that's fair enough but at what point do they get to say what non-muslims can or cant do?

Most of you know I consider Religion of all kinds to be fairytale nonsense at best and a dangerous form of mass control at worst and the worse case seems to me to be the way its playing out.

Should any Muslims be reading this post and take offense - well, frankly, go tell it to your imaginary friend in the sky - and if you commit acts of violence in MY country (whether in the name of your made up deity or not) you will go to prison - you bunch of psychotics.

I was very disppointed to hear that Little Big Planet had been delayed for this nonsense. I've had it on pre-order for months. Still... I've barely had a chance to play Lego Batman!
