Sunday Comics: Dead Island Video games may or may not be dangerous, they may or may not be art, but I don’t think I’ve ever stood back and wondered whether they were permissible under Islam.
I’ve no idea why, but it seems no accident that the week before Easter I went back to start over the original Assassin’s Creed, the only game I’ve ever played that is set in the Holy Land.
Islamic lifestyle and social networking site Muxlim has launched a beta of the virtual world/MMO we told you about back in October.
If you fall into the presumably rather select category of PS3 Owners who managed to get hold of a copy of LBP before the recall and who would be offended by hearing verses of the Holy Qur’an set to music while you play…. Sony have got just the patch for you.
Muslim social networking site Muxlim.com is planning a Islam-themed virtual world.
The European delay of LittleBigPlanet we mentioned earlier has blossomed into a worldwide recall of the game due to passages from the Islamic holy text Qur’an being included in the background music in one of the levels.
“During the review process prior to the release of LittleBigPlanet, 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 Qur’an,” admitted the company in a statement.
“We have taken immediate action to rectify this and we sincerely apologise for any offence that this may have caused.”
Yesterday a reader sent us a link to a music file containing the two offensive phrases, which can be found here. Hit the jump for the translation of the offending phrases.
