Muslim Groups Attempt to Censor Wikipedia

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."'"

Right, abortion clinic bombings have nothing to with Christianity

Bombing an abortion clinic, while abhorrent, is a little bit different from torching a KFC and threatening to kill people just because you don't happen to like a drawing published in a Danish newspaper.

Or did the Muslims perceive that human life was dying because of the publication of those pictures?

There's more similarity between Christian and Islamic fundamentalists than there are differences

And that makes it ok?
