Religious "Sensitivity"

Apparently dropping footballs with "Allah" printed on them is considered to be offensive to Islam. While I don't know the intention behind this action, it seems to me that a little lightening up on the side of the Muslims is in order and a little more in the way of religious understanding is in order for our military personnel in the Arab world. I mean afterall, we've had a presense there for many years, I would think they would have known this action was a big "uh, NO".
