Nom du Keyboard writes "The New York Times is reporting that Muslim
groups are attempting to censor Wikipedia because of images of Muhammad
contained in the article about him. 'A Frequently Asked Questions 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." The notes left on [online petitions
against the page] come from all over the world. "It's totally
unacceptable to print the Prophet's picture," Saadia Bukhari from
Pakistan wrote in a message. "It shows insensitivity towards Muslim
feelings and should be removed immediately."'"
