Faith Fighter is an online fighting game developed by the Italian website Molleindustria[1][2][3] in which players fight as religious figures such as Buddha, Jesus or Muhammad and must fight Xenu after beating all playable characters.
The game was temporarily pulled from its hosting web site in late April 2009, in response to protests from the Islamophobia Observatory of the Organisation of the Islamic Conference[4][5] In response, the game's creators posted a sequel to the game with the figure of Muhammad's face censored, in which the player must bestow "love" by clicking on each religious figure in turn: without this action, the figures slowly fade away.[6] The original game has since been reposted on the maker's website.
In Brazil, Universo Online was forced to remove the game from its servers following a judicial ruling, in a case sponsored by a mosque in Barretos, São Paulo state.[7]
