LittleBigPlanet Delayed Due To Qur'an-Sampling Audio

Several readers have pointed out that Sony's much-awaited LittleBigPlanet has hit a snag and will be delayed worldwide. The delay came after it was discovered that a song licensed for use in the soundtrack contained audio samples from the Qur'an. All advanced copies sent to retailers for the target release of October 21 in North America, 22 in PAL territories, and 24 in the UK and Ireland, have been recalled. "The post, by user 'Solid08', indicates of the specific references in the composition: 'In the 18th second: "kollo nafsin tha'iqatol mawt", literally: "Every soul shall have the taste of death' ... almost immediately after, in the 27th second: "kollo man alaiha fan", literally: "All that is on earth will perish."'"

    I'm really sick of these crazy islamonazis deciding what we can or can not read.

    It's time for us to turn the tables on them and tell them what they can or can not listen to.

    Andy Out!

    Yeah, but the West left most of their worst religious-nutball-inspired-violence behind hundreds of years ago.

    Oh really?

    Nah, Christians have always been more of the sticking swords in people, and nailing them to crosses kind. Sometimes they'd hang people, or tie them to a tree and then set it on fire. For the most part they don't do any of that anymore, although some of the dumber sects still light stuff on fire from time to time. Christians are mostly a danger to themselves and their immediate family, very rarely to someone they don't know.

    "Cowering from bullies is not the right thing to do."

    It's not just a "bully" issue, it's a "bully" (toxic belief system) aided by cowering PC grovelling that teaches every culture other that those of the West is to be deferred to and may not be subject to criticism. Proof of their virtue is not required, because in a PC world cultural comparison is verboten.

    The Bible in places advocates mass murder and torture. The history of Christianity is full of mass murder and torture in the name of God.

    The Koran in places advocates mass murder of the infidel. Recent history speaks for itself.

    What was your point exactly?

    It always amazes me how people don't read what they're referring to ... Heh.

    Besides, in the new testament you won't even find this type of things. So unless you're criticizing the Jews, might I remind you that (at least in catholicism and protestantism) the old testament is a historical tale, describing God's interactions with the Jews.

    i was always told by my christian parents that god is never-changing. which is it? was he an old prick who had lots of people killed then changed? or was he an old prick who had lots of people killed but hasnt changed and nobody bothered to put any of it in the new testament?

    That people in Christian countries who usually mention Muslims as being a bunch of religious fanatics are usually, you know, Christians.

    I'm sorry ... "Christian Countries"? Which ones would those be, exactly?

    Either way, I believe you're misguided if you believe the only reason why the so-called terrorism exists is because the Qu'ran advocates mass murder of infidels.

    Well, no, not exactly. Technically it would be wrong to say that Floods only exist because of water.

    but there's one religion today where high-ranking leaders commonly call for the deaths of non-believers, blasphemers, rape victims, etc...

    The US government? The Republican Party?
