Is ‘A Mecca for retro gamers’ offensive to Muslims?

[madmanjock]

I have recently done cultural awareness training at work and my eyes have been opened.

I think the site’s tag line ‘A Mecca for retro gamers’ could be deemed inappropriate to the Muslim community, since it implies the birthplace of Profit Mohammad is equivalent to old video games. When it comes to cultural sensitivity, Religion is always more important than others enjoyment, lifestyle or hobbies.

So I purpose a poll. Should the tag line be changed to keep with the times?

Stop talking bollocks you skirt wearing poof.

That wasn’t a poll option, but thank you for your contribution to the debate.

I am not offended, I have changed my original post to remove profanity. I understand now that you have not experienced cultural awareness training, and pity you.

Well you shouldn't and you disappoint me, But if you are serious about the whole thing I would refer you to the English Dictionary:

"Mecca: (as noun a Mecca) A place that attracts people of a particular group or with a particular interest."
‘Holland is a Mecca for jazz enthusiasts’

Or in this case A place that attracts retro gamers with a perticular interest in Neo Geo.

Why? You scared there are going to be reprocussions?

Profit Mohammad

I'm pretty sure muslims are much more offended by this than neo-geo.com's tag line.

You'll know when something offends a muslim because they tend to try to kill people because of it.

 

[madmanjock]

if you are serious

Umm...

When it comes to cultural sensitivity, Religion is always more important than others enjoyment, lifestyle or hobbies.

I guess not.

Sorry if it was too subtle, but I was basically saying cultural sensitivity training is bullshit.

Should be changed to "The gas chamber for pointless nostalgia"

Maybe you should be less concerned with offending muslims, and go on your own hajj and meet some. It could change your life.
