about not having boycotts and not having offices bombed and not having employees killed.

Do people in the real world laugh at you when they see you with your tin foil hat on? I'm just curious.

its only a 6 day delay.... not a 2 week delay.... frankly it lets me save a bit more money since my paycheck is a few days afterward its release now.

the complaint was that "muslims find mixing music and words from the quran offensive".  remember all the issues over a drawing?

I'm aware of the issue. I'm just not aware of the conclusions you came to(dead Sony employees, bombings) being rational conclusions as opposed to the rantings of a guy wearing a shiny tin foil hat.

Okay someone explain to me why its offensive?

And would it be offensive to every muslim or just the very strict and devoted ones?

what makes you think they are irrational?
conservative estimates put extremists at 10% of muslim population. 25% of muslim youth within the western world believe suicide bombings are ok. you have authors killed for what they write. people killed for stuff that someone drew. buildings burned. boycotts for perceived slights.
it only takes one person for something bad to happen.

not sure but doesnt matter, any negativity in any light can be bad for the game. Having music of religion X can make the game instantly be bad by religion A, B, and C.

it likely wouldnt be offensive to most of them.  some people just look for things to get offended about though.

I don't know this religious thing is getting a bit out of hand IMHO.

Same with political correctness.

OK you don't want to offend people but I have just read that the guy who complained has apologised for the delay I mean cmo'n where does it end.

here it is here.

“NSider,” a NeoGAF user supposedly behind the complaint made against LittleBigPlanet’s use of two sentences from the Qur’an, has seemingly apologised for “partially causing a one week delay.”

“I’m sorry for partially causing a one week delay of LittleBigPlanet. I’m sorry Sony has to go through all the trouble of pulling the game from stores and replacing them with patched versions. I definitely know what it feels like to have a game delayed.

The possibility that Sony would delay the game didn’t even cross my mind. I thought that they will do nothing about it for weeks then quietly release a patch much later.

I’m sorry. :(”

I am sure the guy is mortified with this.

If this was years ago we would never have had films like the life of brian as it would have been banned.

Anyway end of rant.
