Sony delays release of LittleBigPlanet because Muslims may be offended
Sony has decided it needed to delay the release of one of the hottest and eagerly-awaited computer games of the year because Muslims may be offended by something in the background music.
According to Sony, the game LittleBigPlanet has been pulled from warehouse shelves after someone noticed one background music contained words from the Islamic holy text, the Quran.
Muslims are upset over Marine’s target practice?
An unidentified Marine sniper, formerly stationed in Iraq, has been pulled out of the country and sent back to the United States. Why? Because he allegedly used a Quran as a target early this month during some target practice at a shooting range at the Radhwaniya police station, located on Baghdad’s western outskirts, according to reports.
Did the U.S. Marine do this? Under U.S. law and the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), a case must first be made, and then his innocence or guilt is determined, not hang him first and then figure out later if he actually did anything wrong. Oh, wait! Muslims are offended by this offense, so, by all means, let’s hang him now and later figure out his guilt or innocence.
Guantanamo shutdown leaves idiot terrorists exploding
The U.S. is bitterly divided over a small parcel of ground situated on the tiny island of Cuba. That parcel of ground, leased to the United States for eternity by a former government of the island, is known as Guantanamo, but is affectionately known as Gitmo by many in the military community.
It seems one idiot at Guantanamo, Osama bin Laden’s former "media manager" — media as in video, not public relations, and definitely not free, as in gas, not open-source software — Ali Hamza Ahmad Suliman al-Bahlul. Related to him, at least in terms of idiocy, is Abdullah Saleh al-Ajmi, who was also held at Gitmo, but was released in 2005.
Obama, Obama, Osama, Obama. Oops.
Barack Obama has one of those names that just doesn’t roll off my tongue. No amount of practice will make that happen, it seems. In an effort to try to make his name one of those “one the tip of my tongue” names, I even tried using the tune from Louie Louie, a classic rock ‘n’ roll song, written in ’55 by Chuck Berry, singing, “Obama, Obama,” but what happened next, most likely predictable, especially in this day and age, things changed.
As I sang the self-created lyrics in an effort to get Obama’s name a familiar roll on my tongue, the words, “Obama, Obama … yeah, Obama, Obama” became, eerily enough, “Obama, Obama … Osama, Obama.” <add Family Feud buzzer tone now>
Muslims want teacher executed over a teddy bear
A British teacher, Gillian Gibbons, went to teach this year at a school in Sudan that has, for almost 100 years, been run along the lines of Christianity. Not long after the school year began, Gibbons was arrested and charged with “insulting Islam’s Prophet Mohammed.”
When Gibbons went to teach at Unity, which is but one of several British schools in the country, she taught in classrooms hidden behind tall brick walls that shut out, what one news outlet described as the dust of everyday Sudanese life. The walls serve another purpose, according to various media reports, which say it serves to transport visitors into the shady courtyard of an Oxford or a Cambridge University-type setting or that of an English private school.
The Golden Compass is all about turning kids against God
It seems more and more in the U.S., as well as other Christian-based countries, that if you’re a Christian or believe in God, you’re one of the last legal targets of humiliation, harassment, and any legal challenge some loonies can toss about.
On the flip side, however, if you’re Muslim, a Buddhist, or almost any other religion — aside from Christian, Catholic, or Jewish — people bow to you, wanting to ensure nothing upsets you or your beliefs. Talk about double-faced idiots.
