Little Big Planet, one of Sony’s flagship titles and what will be (at least judging by reviews), many critics’ Game of the Year, was recalled a week before its worldwide release to remove instances of Qur’anic text in the audio. An interesting read, and one that emphasizes just how mainstream music can become without the audience even understanding its context.

This is so fascinating! Yet another realm where qur’anic recitation meets technology and music is taken completely out of context. Thanks for posting the link! I always find the comments on these forums, like on youtube, as fascinating and revealing of issues at stake Jas the debate itself.
