Oh Mohammad. Not again.

Mohammad is an extremely common name in the Muslim world... I can't... ugh.... idiots.

I think someone needs to stand up and teach these people their own religion. No where does it say in Quran that you shall be punished for naming a toy, Mohammad. At worst she should have gotten a friendly phone call, explaining the cultural sensitivity -- which is about it. Preaching hatred? WTF?

BTW, so many parents name their kids Mohommad in the Muslim world. Statistically speaking, a percentage is bound to grow up being criminals. Surely that is more offense to the memory of the holy prophet, than this.

Yeah this is pretty much just as ridiculous as removing that song from OOT that resembled an Islamic prayer song.

LOL, Puggy.

Zelda: Ocarina of Time which abbreviated is commonly referred to as OOT.

Think it was the fire temple in that game that had a song that to Muslims sounded like a chant in Islam that goes something like "There is no God but Allah and Muhammed is his prophet."

Anyway some Muslim group complained to Nintendo and they immediately updated Ocarina of Time to have a new song in place of that plus Ganon now had green blood instead of red at the end lol.  :P

Shouldn't you be making your chess move?

Besides, are games outside of the PC really good anyway?

Games outside the PC were good since before that PC had 320x200 pixels in 4 ugly colors and no sound.

I have the correct version of OOT too, with the moslem-sounding chants.

Edit:  This is no worse than the stupidity of charging a child with sexual assault for giving a classmate a titty twister in retaliation for some prank.  People are idiots everywhere.

Don't rush me. These skills take time to hone.

Na, I was just countering your moves. I recognized the moves, though. It is common to open with that configuration, at least so far as I have seen with professional games and whatnot.

Yup you are right. It is pretty much a classic opening, and it is all I know. :(

What is sad is that while these people think they are doing a service to Islam, they are doing a lot of harm.

Exactly. They're misinformed and they're spreading bad information.
