Faith Fighter
Encyclopedia
Faith Fighter is a beat-em-up video game developed by Molleindustria
in which players fight as religious figures such as Jesus
and 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
In response, the game's creators posted a sequel to the game, in which the player must bestow "love" by clicking on each religious figure in turn: without this action, the figures slowly fade away. The original game has since been reposted on the maker's website.
