The offending musical track was called "Tapha Niang". 

Some really nice tracks in there tbh and I hope they keep at least another one of them from this particular artist.

It's because it's a videogame mate, the world's scapegoat

I'm an atheist and during my participation in the online beta I was appalled to hear mention of a 'God'. I, and other atheists have taken great offense to this and would like for you to do something about this issue. It seems highly irresponsible to assume there is a God when it directly conflicts with certain peoples views.

Okay, I'm kidding but this entire fiasco could have been avoided if it wasn't for a world that's gone PC mad. If anyone is offended by some religious words backed by music needs to take two seconds out of their life to play "Army of Two" or "America's 10 Most Wanted". I just booted AOT up and in the second level your attacked by people running around with bombs strapped to their chests! I can't remember anything being mentioned about that!

I've been holding back about this since earlier today and I just wanted to give my two cents. I just have one question - Where does it stop?

The beat on this song is really good. lol

[Delta_Prime]

Does anyone know where on this track the offensive lyrics are?

agreed mate.
and how i would love to be back at school in an R.E lesson now. I think i would actually have some words to say and take part with.

It will never stop Bearskopff.

As with all situations regarding unecessary, so called politically-correct decisions, they simply further fuel racism and hatred towards others.

it stops when evryone realises we are in the 21st century and religion is the ramblings of some old bored man.
