Looks like two people making news that don't agree with sony: the songwriter (obviously) and the President of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy.

Toumani Diabate, the songwriter says:
Quote:
It's quite normal to play music and be inspired by the words of the Prophet Mohammed. It's my way to attract and inspire people towards Islam.
M. Zuhdi Jasser, M.D., president of the non-profit American Islamic Forum for Democracy says:
Quote:
“Muslims cannot benefit from freedom of expression and religion and then turn around and ask that anytime their sensibilities are offended that the freedom of others be restricted.

“The free market allows for expression of disfavor by simply not purchasing a game that may be offensive.”
I would imagine Sony would agree with both of them, but religion is just a little too much of a hot button to screw with.
