An article about the Prophet Muhammad in the English-language Wikipedia has become the subject of an online protest in the last few weeks because of its representations of Muhammad, taken from medieval manuscripts.
In addition to numerous e-mail messages sent to Wikipedia.org, an online petition cites a prohibition in Islam on images of people. The petition has more than 80,000 “signatures,” though many who submitted them to ThePetitionSite.com remained anonymous…
A FAQ page explains the site’s polite but firm refusal to remove the images: “Since Wikipedia is an encyclopedia with the goal of representing all topics from a neutral point of view, Wikipedia is not censored for the benefit of any particular group…”
Sadly, strident Islamists do not respect the view of Muslim scholars – and their own history – much less those who simply catalogue information.
#61 Must be one hell of a pic to “effect” all over the world…which one is it?
I am curious…if one is not meant to have images of “you know who” then shouldn’t that also extend to using “you know who’s” name? I mean having an image is one thing BUT to have practically everyone male child named after “you know who” must be the same as an image…huh? I mean you can’t walk very far in the Middle East without bumping into someone named Muhammad now can we? So what’s wrong with the pic as well?
Cheers
fuck ya’all kaffirrrr
