OIC censors video game depicting Muhammad
by creeping https://www.legal-project.org/441/oic-censors-video-game-depicting-muhammad Excerpt: We missed this story on Islamic censorship back in May and learned about it in a report by Aaron Eitan Meyer at the Legal Project Blog. Perhaps an even better example of the unknowable nature of self-censorship's reach comes from a completely unreported incident. "Faith Fighter" is an online video game featuring various religious figures in combat, including Muhammad. It attracted considerable attention and controversy, but was removed after the Organization of the Islamic Conference [OIC] threatened the game's producers. The American television channel G4 describes itself as "the one destination on television that feeds your addiction for the latest must-have tech gadgets, web culture and video games." It was not surprising, therefore, when it ran a 45-second "Indie Games" spot about "Faith Fighter" during a commercial break of the premier episode of the show "Web Soup" on June 7, 2009.
