Question - where did the song come from in the first place? Was it a licensed track, or specially commissioned?

[MairusuPawa]

Weird finding. How did these lyrics / text got on the game?

How come it's re-opened now ?

Please lock.

It's not commissioned - it's on iTunes. It's quite a lively track, odd that it has those lyrics in it

You sure they're not singing anything different?

It's not like MM are trying to make a mockery of Islam.

Tbo i dont see the problem at the end of the day its only a song :/     i wunt be affended if a song said James is gay in it lol ( James is my first name )

And from what it says why should it affend u? it means the same to you than it does to us and where not affended

I also don't understand what is so offensive about it. At the end of the day it must be only extremist/hardcore religeous people who could get offended by lyrics in songs of this nature.

Surely extremists from any religion will always find something to complain about in video games, whether it's violent content, sexual content, swearing etc, etc, etc. There is no point in pandering to them because once you start changing games for little things like this we will all be left just playing pacman, even then there will probably be some obscure Religion that will complain about that! As long as a game is not trying to be deliberately offensive to a Religion, like have you running around headbutting baby Jesus or something, then I don't see what the problem is

Like any game, surely the answer is simple, if you don't like it, don't play it, but stop trying to be spoil sports and going off on missions to prevent other people from playing games just because they don't fit into your view of life or religious preferences. This is not aimed at the op, just a general observation that whether it's Religous groups, Politicians, Lawyers, Parental groups etc, there is always someone whinging on about games!

Well i agree with most here saying that it should be altered in the patch so that it will not offend anyone. But as far as delaying the game, I dont think that will happen, its just not possible.

Why has it taken until now for some one to stumble along such an issue?

I'm sure MM didn't intend on offending anyone when they created it. And they will probably patch it like I said a few moments ago. Just don't blow this up into something this isn't. It was a mistake and im sure they will fix it once they know about it.
