This is absolutely ridiculous... what about that about Islam which makes its way
into products that *I* find offensive?

This is just phase one in Obama's plan to turn the US into a caliphate!

We lived in Oman, a moderate Muslim country, from early 1992 through 1995. While we were there someone discovered that a certain brand of tires that had been fitted on Mitsubishi Pajeros (Monteros here) made a pattern that they felt looked like the Arabic word for "Allah". Believing that to be sacrilegious, the government required the Mitsubishi dealer to replace all those tires at no cost with new ones without the offending tread pattern, regardless of how new or old they were.

As noted. Like any 'Holy Book' the Qur'an can be interpreted to meet any purpose. Sony, like any global company, has to work hard to avoid mortally offending any of its potential customers. Note that this 'offensive element' is a background soundtrack which includes suras from the Qur'an. This element was put in there by one of Sony's programmers, probably wthout even knowing what it was. Catchy soundtrack, foreign sounding chanting in the background, check !

It's the 21st century equivalent to playing the Black Sabbath albums backwards.

The city of Glendale, California defaced all the beautiful antique cast iron lamp posts by grinding off the Dineh (Navajo) "Whirling Winds" symbol from the lamp bases back in the late 1980's. Folks got it confused with the swastika, even though it only bears a passing resemblance.
The Muslim don't own the religious"Freak Out".
