As you may have heard, Iran is threatening to boycott the 2012 Olympics based on their claim that the Olympic Logo appears to spell "Zion". I see how they got that, but is it really that important. I know they are all Muslims, but still...
But anyways, is this conflicts between religions gone a bit far? Let the discussion begin!

This isn't the first time a country has boycotted the Olympics, and I doubt that it'll be the last. So I wouldn't worry about it too much.

I know its nothing to worry about, but it does seem retarded to get this upset about a logo vaguely resembling a religious place in Christianity.

Frankly, they won't be missed. Anyway, it's their right not participating, the Olympics are not mandatory.
