Religious groups cannot face truth of Faith Fighters

A computer game that pits holy figures from various religions against each in a fight to the death has peaceful aims, according to its makers. The Faith Fighter game has raised objections from Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist and Christian representatives. Was the maker not aware that religious groups are pacifist? The game's maker, Molleindustria, says the purpose of the computer duel is to encourage gamers to reflect on how sacred representations are often used to fuel or justify conflicts between people.
