Wie einige von euch sicherlich schon mitbekommen haben, wird Little Big Planet kurz vor dem Release verschoben. Grund? Ein läpischer Song. Aber seht selbst.
Was haltet ihr davon? Erinnert etwas an das damalige Drama um den Mohammed Kopf in einer Aufführung in Berlin. Das Stück wurde damals abgesagt weil man angst vor Anschlägen hatte. Aber ist eine Zensur wirklich die beste lösung? Wo wird das noch enden?
Wie es aussieht liegt die Schuld tatsächlich bei einem Song im Spiel. Dieser enthält Zitate aus dem Koran. Für muslimische Gläubige stellt das eine Beleidigung ihrer Religion da. Hier ist das original Posting aus dem offiziellen Sony Forum, welches gestern auf dieses Problem hingewiesen hatte.

While playing your latest game, "LittleBigPlanet" in the first level of the third world in the game (titled "Swinging Safari":smileywink:, I have noticed something strange in the lyrics of the music track of the level. When I listened carefully, I was surprised to hear some very familiar Arabic words from the Quran.
The words are:
1- In the 18th second: "كل نفس ذائقة الموت" ("kollo nafsin tha'iqatol mawt", literally: 'Every soul shall have the taste of death').
2- Almost immediately after, in the 27th second: "كل من عليها فان" ("kollo man alaiha fan", literally: 'All that is on earth will perish').
I asked many of my friends online and offline and they heard the exact same thing that I heard easily when I played that part of the track. Certain Arabic hardcore gaming forums are already discussing this, so we decided to take action by emailing you before this spreads to mainstream attention.
We Muslims consider the mixing of music and words from our Holy Quran deeply offending. We hope you would remove that track from the game immediately via an online patch, and make sure that all future shipments of the game disk do not contain it.
We would also like to mention that this isn't the first time something like this happened in videogames. Nintendo's 1998 hit "Zelda: Ocarina of Time" contained a musical track with islamic phrases, but it was removed in later shipments of the game after Nintendo was contacted by Muslim organizations. Last year, Capcom's "Zack & Wiki" and Activision's "Call of Duty 4" also contained objectionable material offensive to Muslims that was spotted before the release of the final games, and both companies thankfully removed the content.
We hope you act immediately to avoid any confusion and unnecessary controversy, and we thank you for making such an amazing game.
