Little Big Planet Delay

I don't own a PS3, so I don't really care about the delay. Even if I did, it's only being pushed back 6 days. The reason for the delay is what I find interesting. Apparently a Muslim gamer was offended by the use of a song in one of the levels that cited passages from the Quran, stating that it's offensive to Muslims to have the readings of the Quran put to music. With all due respect to people's religious beliefs, please stop this insanity!!

Now what I find strange is that it is from an actual song that was released some years ago. BY A MUSLIM ARTIST!! So it must not be offensive to ALL Muslims, right?? If you follow my logic, it appears that one single person with a gripe caused a major video game publisher to delay not only a video game, but arguably that publishers most anticipated release of the year. Simply because they played the Religion card.

My question is this. If a single Catholic/Christian or Jew or Atheist claimed to be offended for some reason, would the end result be the same or would it be ignored? Seems there is a double standard at work here. I don't normally like to talk religion or politics, I believe that everyones beliefs are their own, and should be kept to themselves.

But this appears to be political correctness taken to a whole new, bat shit crazy level! And it makes me sick. You know what? come to think of it, I'm offended by "sackboy". Burlap sacks aren't cute and lovable. They're itchy and they don't stretch. It's a misrepresentation of burlap and that pisses me off! (Sorry, I had to lighten it up a little.)

I'm curious what everyone else thinks?
