It's a very rare case when games that are scheduled to release in under a week get delayed. However, for the hugely anticipated Playstation 3 platformer, LittleBigPlanet, this is unfortunately the case. 1UP.com stated that in a forum thread, a Muslim member noted about the licensed track "Swinging Safari" in the game. The song quotes passage from the Quran. The user respectfully asked for the track to be removed seeing how the combination of popular music with the holy book could be seen as offensive. The two passages found in the song are as follows:

"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')."

Sony took action on this and issued a global delay of the game. Additionally they released the following public statement:

"During the review process prior to the release of Little Big Planet, it has been brought to our attention that one of the background music tracks licensed from a record label for use in the game contains two expressions that can be found in the Quran. We have taken immediate action to rectify this and we sincerely apologise for any offence that this may have caused. "

Luckily, the North American release date is only pushed by about a week, scheduled for the 27th of October. Release dates for other countries will be specified soon.
