New PlayStation 3 Game Delayed Over Potential Offense to Muslims

PS3 Title 'Little Big Planet' Delayed Over Qur'anic Phrases
'Little Big Planet,' a new highly customizable platform game for the PlayStation 3, is garnering attention -- for all the right and wrong reasons. Initial reviews and reaction to the game have been very positive, but the game has also drawn attention for a potentially offensive song on its soundtrack that contains phrases from the Qur'an.

Sony was alerted to the potential problem by a Muslim beta tester who alerted the company that some Muslims may be offended by the lyrics, since the Qur'an is considered to come directly from God.

Sony has recalled copies of the game and producing a new version with out the controversy-courting track. Manzoor Moghal, of the Muslim Forum, told the BBC he praised Sony's decision and quick action. [From: BBC]
