Ugghhh...... Why they hell couldn't they just patch it after it came out? Or just keep it hush hush for a few days until the patch came out and none were the wiser? Next week is going to be decidely less fulfilling than it should have been.

At least he didn't cut off her genitals in the name of chastity and piety. Or murder her for being out in public with a man who isn't her husband or blood relative and call it an "honor killing".

Hahahaha, The mighty Sony is obliged to delay the game due to the pressure of the powerful Muslim Peoples and Nations including the Kingdom of MOROCCO

Gues who is making the folowing levels in LBP:

* The burning of the evil qur'an!
* World of WarMuslims
* Muslim education: Stones and sticks on how to bend your wifes will.

Lot's of nice levels coming your way in the future!

@Tom

It's bound to happen now, due to a common Muslim trait of keeping everything about their religion hush-hush from everybody, which is causing many immature people to become very angry because of one dude's poor impression.

Are you stereotyping Muslims into a race...that wouldn't be good of you would it?

Race and religion are not that same thing...

Let me get this straight: Something that is possibly religiously offensive to approximately 1 billion people needs to be taken out. A religion, mind you, that has provided some of the most hardcore, most intense backlashes from incidents smaller than this one.

Now people are cancelling pre-orders and whining about a delay? C'mon, who really needs to "sack" up here, the offended Muslims, or the offended gamers?
This is the right move for Sony, but not for you. I get it, "I can't play my game for another 3-4 weeks, sob." There's SO many good games coming out in the next 3-4 weeks!! Deal with it!

Yeah, there are some racists around here apparently, but situations like this only add fuel to the fire, which is the most unfortunate part. Sony doesn't want to offend Muslims with the game, but now Muslims are going to get much more offended by the backlash created by this event. Like people have been arguing with you all thread, that this is happening to Islam (when Sony basically told the Church of England to get lost) is odd indeed. It seems the problem stems from many Muslim leaders having lost (or not caring at all about) the idea that ignorance is a opportunity for teaching, not for fighting against. When someone is wrong, you try to teach them right, not fly off the handle and threaten to fight them. That's not what Mohammed the Teacher would have wanted, but that's not convenient to the ruling classes.

I personally can't wait for alternative fuels to really take hold, so that the artificial economies built on oil that allow many of these despotic Islamic countries to exist will finally collapse, forcing change when the rulers no longer have the money to subjugate entire nations. Only then will Islam be free of the shackles of these idiots who have hijacked it for their own purposes (read: power).

While I do not go to the extent of insulting a religion for its lack of tolerance (specifically, the practitioners) I definitely agree that non-tolerance of challenges of faith is bullshit. If you have strong faith, then you should never allow yourself to be offended when your faith is challenged.

What's next? Delaying the game because in the Wedding level you can set crosses on fire? How about the levels with a horror theme being 'inappropriate.' When a game like LBP is delayed like this due to something innoffensive from a song that has been out for two years with no complaints, we have crossed a line of sensitivity and seperateness that is beyond absurd.

If the song was talking about killing people or making fun of the culture I could understand. This is silly.

Sony...grow a pair.

i'm pretty much on the verge of canceling my pre-order on this game and throwing that money to this guy's album on itunes instead.

I was on the fence about LBP since the beta and this kind of tips the scales.

Marius,

I might agree to join you in making anti Islamic Terrorism levels, But MM would probably ban them out fear of getting their throats slit by fanatical Jihadists, upset that they allowed us to insulted their "religion of peace!"

I get it... Sony is afraid a few rogue sackboys are going strap themselves with logic bombs in an elaborate attack against the PlayStation Network. Must have hit a bit too close to PlayStation Home for comfort.

Apparently some Muslims think its against the rules to have parts of the Koran put into song, for whatever reason. Of course these are the same guys that make their women cover all their good bits up, who knows why.
