Pop Princess Katy Perry has been forced to edit her Dark Horse video, following claims from Muslim fans that it was blasphemous.

More than 65,000 people signed and online petition calling for the "highly controversial" video to be banned.

The petition stated that towards the beginning of the video, a man is shown being burned, whilst wearing a pendant (also burned) forming the word 'Allah', which is the arabic word for God.

As a result, the pendant has been digitally removed from the video.

Petition organiser Shazad Iqbal said he was thrilled with the outcome.

"Guys I'm thrilled to let you all know the name of Allah has been removed from the 'Dark Horse' video we couldn't have done it without everyone's support so I thank each and every one of you deeply, our voices have been heard! God bless you all!" he wrote on the site.

"I feel that the impact we have made and the total number of signatures obtained does convey just how worthy a cause this is, it is a significant step towards the right direction."

It is not known whether YouTube or KP's team made the edit.

We've contacted Katy's team for comment.
