Lock the thread its only going to get worse from here.

At the same time though you have to call the game the same way going both directions, and there are some Muslims who are pretty (sometimes violently) disrespectful of other religions like Christianity, and especially Judaism.  I realise these people are the minority of Muslims, but the same disrespectful people are in the minority everywhere else. 

Most people are generally tolerant of other peoples' beliefs, it's just that the only cases you ever hear about are negative so that's the image that sticks in the mind.

Damnit, how am I supposed to get by with only Eternal Sonata and Wii Music? This is a ploy to get me to buy Bioshock!

Why must special treatment be given to religion? A lot of people find swearing offensive, but that wouldn't stop them releasing another game. Religious people's views have no more weight than anyone else's.

how can we forget that terrible thread.....

It's sony's own decision to delay the game:

To: Sony Computer Entertainment & Media Molecule

While playing your latest game, "LittleBigPlanet" in the first level of the third world in the game (titled "Swinging Safari"), I have noticed something strange in the lyrics of the music track of the level. When I listened carefully, I was surprised to hear some very familiar Arabic words from the Quran. You can listen to part of the track here:

The words are:

1- In the 18th second: "كل نفس ذائقة الموت" ("kollo nafsin tha'iqatol mawt", literally: 'Every soul shall have the taste of death').

2- Almost immediately after, in the 27th second: "كل من عليها فان" ("kollo man alaiha fan", literally: 'All that is on earth will perish').

I asked many of my friends online and offline and they heard the exact same thing that I heard easily when I played that part of the track. Certain Arabic hardcore gaming forums are already discussing this, so we decided to take action by emailing you before this spreads to mainstream attention.

We Muslims consider the mixing of music and words from our Holy Quran deeply offending. We hope you would remove that track from the game immediately via an online update, and make sure that all future shipments of the game disk do not contain it.

We would also like to mention that this isn't the first time something like this happened in videogames. Nintendo's 1998 hit "Zelda: Ocarina of Time" contained a musical track with islamic phrases, but it was removed in later shipments of the game after Nintendo was contacted by Muslim organizations. Last year, Capcom's "Zack & Wiki" and Activision's "Call of Duty 4" also contained objectionable material offensive to Muslims that was spotted before the release of the final games, and both companies thankfully removed the content.

We hope you act immediately to avoid any confusion and unnecessary controversy, and we thank you for making such an amazing game.
