article published on 19 October, 2008
The much anticipated launch of the Sony PlayStation 3 exclusive game LittleBigPlanet has been pushed back until October 27th after background music using Qur'an verses has caused controversy.
At the beginning of the third world, the background song, "Tapha Niang," sung by Toumani Diabate, uses a couple of verses from the Qur'an which roughly translate to "Every soul shall taste of death" ... [ read the full article ]

The sad thing here is that we are living in a world that becomes more and more politically correct everyday and the legal system is loving this because we sue everyone and everything for all the most petty little things that u can ever know. quite sad really.

sigh...Religion, Show me the Savior himself, Not the words of some fanatic nutcasses written in a book. whether or not there ever was a savior has yet to be founded.
Anyway, hell i could find those words in just about any death metal band lyrics. Why is sony getting the hammer, why not the people that had made the song in the first place. Something's fishy.

Because the appearance of being friendlily and politically correct is more important than being truthful and mature.

Isn't it time as a species we entered the 21st century instead of rolling around in this muck from the dark ages? Religion.. my a$$.. A pack of lies written by men to hold power over other men and frighten children with stories of hell and eternal damnation.
The saviour is within people.. it's called karma and what goes around comes around.. it's a personal thing and can only be nurtured, not programmed or forced or coerced. Unfortunately those with power still abuse "the word of god" (hahaha.. word of man) to control and oppress others, either directly or by the back door of community and peer pressure.. I had this "christian" crap in my family.. and I ended up a complete non believer (infidel-heretic-blasphemer-whatever) in any of these lies.
We need to stop being worried about "offending" some towel headed dark age throwback who would oppress our very freedom in the name of some lie, and just get on with the matter of surviving in the wasted and increasingly hostile environment we are creating with our worship of the gods of profit and greed.
These same people we are so worried about "offending" are currently raping us over the cost of energy and in many cases using the vast profits gained from our lack of foresight, and our lack of determination to change, to fund the very people who would put themselves in the position of our enemy.
That's a bit pointed but I get so sick of teenagers whining on and on about religion I thought it's time to put a few truths on the table.
It's time to grow up and put the fairy stories behind us.. or are we not educated and civilised? Do we cower in terror of the shamen with his command of the "gods" lest he puts out our fire and brings down the darkness?... hahahaha.. seriously.

Wow! Touchy subject??
Religion will always be a thorn in someones side,its the basis of existance for anyone (who truly believes anyway) be it Muslims, Jews, Christians, Bhudists, etc. I believe every one has the right to believe in what they want to, faith is ok as long as it respects others. THE INSTITUTIONS THAT GOVERN THESE BELIEFS on the other hand, that is where the CORRUPTION IS, it's ALL POLITICS and, as such, what is politics without supporters doing their dirty deeds??
So when SONY, a media gigant, sees that politically this could affect their already tainted name (in many aspects) sure, better safe than sorry, because oooo we dont wanna piss off a Muslim now, would we?.
I dont know any Muslims, I dont know almost anything about the religion, but I sincerily doubt that Muslims, having a strict belief system and all, are the pre programmed-self destuctive meat drones that westrn media makes them out to be, that grudge will be carried for a long time sadly, again for political purposes. Sure extremists exist i wont deny that or justify it either, Islamic, Christian, Jews you name it, there is a flavour for every one.
The fact that someone would get pissed off at this game doesnt confirm that religion is a problem it just confirms that we as humans and our human nature make it a problem, we just shift the blame to what ever suits the political agenda, ergo lets delay the game because it MIGHT BE A PROBLEM. Anyway jaja "rant" much?. In closing let me just state, I dont believe much in religion,I think its better to believe in ourselves. Problem is, I can have faith in myself, but can I have faith in my neighbour? Human nature guys, not religion...religion just exploits it.

Jeez, you can be a lot of noongs. The writer of the music IS a Muslim, who didn't at all have a problem with his song being in the game. I saw him interviewed.
I'm an atheist myself- but it's sad to see what's happened to a proud and once open belief. There used to be many schools of thinking tolerated amongst that community. Now there seems to be only one or two.
Its a lot easier being righteous than right.
