Sony is recalling “Little Big Planet” a week before its release because one of the songs quotes the Qu’ran in Arabic!  The question is: are they afraid of offending non Muslims or are they afraid of another ludicrous backlash like the one over the Danish cartoons?  Apparently, it’s offensive to Muslims to put the words of the Qu’ran to music.
