Activision apologize & remove \u201cinsensitive\u201d Quran depiction in CoD Vanguard ActivisionCall of Duty: Vanguard players have noticed pages of the Quran scattered across the floor on a Zombies map. In response, many have joined the Muslim community in calling for developers to fix the \u201cdisrespectful\u201d issue \u2014 and Activision has since taken action and apologized. The Quran is the principal religious text of Islam and is considered by Muslims to be the holy word of God. As such, it is sacred and usage of it is always put under careful scrutiny.

In response to this, a number of players called on the developers to explain and rectify the \u201cdisrespectful\u201d situation.
