		<description>Sony are cowards of the highest order for pulling LBP because it offends a minority of people. I&#039;m willing to bet that its only a minority of muslims who find it offensive.

Games are an art form, a mode of human expression, and as such the only restraint which should apply to them with regards to content should be that of the author(s). 

Freedom of speech is one of the cornerstones of &lt;em&gt;western&lt;/em&gt; society and civilization. If this offends those who, for the most part, choose to live as part of that society then they are perfectly within their rights to give voice to their offense, but not to deny the right to free speech of those doing the offending.

If some find a peice of background music in a game (not even a main feature or a pivotal plot point) offesive, then they don&#039;t have to buy the game or even play it. Thats what living in a free society is about.

Shame on you Sony, for basically giving in to terrorists. Albeit indirectly.</description>
