Sony's Little Big Planet is one of the most high-profile releases of this holiday season. Developer Media Molecule has seen its game go from indie darling to AAA system-seller in the past year, thanks to the many appearances that the game has made at trade shows and events.
However, fans of the game are going to have to wait slightly longer to get it. Sony Computer Entertainment Europe has announced that it is recalling the game from retailers after it learned that the soundtrack featured some Arabic-language lines from the Qur'an backed with music. A SCEE representative also confirmed to GameSpot that this recall would be global, and could not confirm when the game would now actually hit shelves with the offending music removed.

Sony is a DISGRACE. The “offensive” words are two quotes from the koran, no more than ten words each. The quotes are in SOMALIAN. I think a whole 2 people might have been offended by this had the game been released as-is.
OH WELL, looks like I’ll have to wait another week or longer to pick up my pre-order. Thanks religion of peace!
If the dems get total control, I’d imagine this stuff becoming law.. And the USSC will roll over on it as well.
M.Savage was right.
Neo-Fascist radical islam is about to tidal wave its way into the US
Oh, it’s okay to use Christian or Biblical references or words, as in cursing and saying “G*D damn” or “Jes*s Chr*st” and not saying it as a prayer, but two arabic words that happen to be in the koran are sacrosanct?
The Bible is quoted and misquoted ALL the time, from Madonna to the garage bands, and that’s fine.
If I find a koran, you can bet I’m going to do something offensive with it. And I don’t mean clog my septic tank.
Okay so ten words.
How many words and how many times has Judaism and Christianity been maligned?
Payback will be h3ll.
I’ll probably get banned for this but ... To the Great RELIGION of PEACE:
I find your Koran Offensive, Violent, and OUTRAGEOUS. We Christians had a violent past, yes, to retake Christian Lands from YOU, the Great Religion of PEACE.
You want to WHINE about OFFENSIVE?? Try this ... Explain your SILENCE (or as in the case of NEW JERSEY) DANCING in the STREETS the day Adherants of the GREAT RELIGION OF PEACE ... MURDERED 3000 People.
In my humble Opinion, due to said silence, you are the ENEMY, and you have NO RIGHT TO BE OFFENDED... we have let you LIVE and LIVE FREE ... you are not in CAMPS for OUR SAFETY.
You want to be offended,,, fuggedaboutit... Show me where in the AMERICAN CONSTITUTION you have the RIGHT to NOT BE OFFENDED... UNTIL YOU DO ... SHUTHTEF*** UP!

“LittleBigPlanet’s little expressions cause big problems”
Sony has suffered a blow to its plans for a strong PlayStation 3 showing this holiday season with a delay to one of its marquee games.
LittleBigPlanet has been released to reviewers, but retail copies are now being held back while a part of the soundtrack considered of possible offence to Muslims is changed.
In a statement, Sony said it had been brought to its attention that one of the background music tracks contained two expressions that could be found in the Qur’an.
It said it was rectifying the situation and apologised for any offence it might have caused.”

“Mattel defends Islamic proselytizing doll”
Here’s a link to the “offensive” song:
http://www.myspace.com/toumanidiabate
It’s the third song in the list, “Tapha Niang”.
The quotes are “Every soul shall have the taste of death” and “All that is on earth will perish”. These are quotes straight from the koran. The artist is from Mali and certainly a Muslim himself.
So now I guess nobody (not even Muslims) are allowed to quote the koran because it’s “offensive”.
**Every soul shall have the taste of death” and “All that is on earth will perish”. These are quotes straight from the koran.**
Those are from the KORAN?? I thought they were from ALGORE’s STUPID Movie, or if not , the UNIBOMBER’S Manifesto.
Hmm, better clean and lube the "sniper" rifle then. (7.62x51 with commercial scope), and make sure I've got plenty of ammo for it. P> There's not going be any burkas on my wife, daughters and granddaughters while I'm still drawing breath.
No threat, just fact.
I don’t mind. It gives me time to play Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia. Prior to the delay, Little Big Planet and Order of Ecclesia were both scheduled to come out on the same day.
What about Electronic Arts allowing Obama signs in it games?
btt
“So now I guess nobody (not even Muslims) are allowed to quote the koran because it’s “offensive”.”
I’m down wid dat... Nobody should be allowed to even read the damnable thing, IMO. It should be banned across the world as de facto hate speech.
Islam is a cancer on humanity.
