Namco promises to remove offensive Allah content from Tekken Tag Tournament 2

Namco promises to remove offensive Allah content from Tekken Tag Tournament 2

Right after we saw Infinity Ward change the Favela stage of Modern Warfare 2 due to an Allah reference, Namco Bandai will change stage in Tekken Tag Tournament 2 after it was found to contain the Arabic script for Allah.

Tekken fans Dengo and iSymbiox took to Twitter to point out that the Arabic script is on the floor of the Saudi Arabia stage. iSymbiox tweeted Tekken producer Katsuhiro Harada: “Can you please remove it from the Saudi Arabia Stage it’s very offensive to Muslims!”

Responding to that tweet, Harada confirmed a change will be made.

“We didn’t know that. We will change stage design data as soon as possible. We couldn’t read that,” he said.

iSymbiox seemed happy with the outcome. “Thank you Mr. Harada for your concern and support!” he tweeted. “You really are a great person!!”.
