I put some links back to articles here for two reasons. Firstly because previous articles contain relevant background and the links mean I don't have to repeat myself. Secondly this blog contains a lot of original content which ends up copied to other places on the web. Often the links stay with the copy and so I get links in and people are able to see the original source. BC. I put some links back to articles here for two reasons.

I mean "Every soul shall have the taste of death" etc. doesn't really tie-in with the cutesy family orientated vibe that Media molecule are trying to create . . . . . Or does it? LOL.

And: “it is quite normal to play music and be inspired by the words of the Prophet Mohammed (Peace on his Soul) in my country in Mali. You can see this on television all the time.” Looks even more like Sony wasted a lot of money with the recall. Further clarification of the Islamic problem here.
