helpme I wanted to convey my message that depiction of Prophet Muhammad is forbidden in Islam, and tends to antagonize Muslims across the world. IMHO, it would be better to remove any paintings. Cartoons and other indecent stuff should be removed immediately. Muslims are sensitive people. I'm sure many would have conveyed their displeasure by now.

Check out http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/4674864.stm and http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/n/a/2006/02/02/national/a140548S76.DTL for further confirmation of this fact. Please act upon this request and remove depictions of the Prophet asap. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gauharjk (talk • contribs)


 * Hello there. I do understand the amount of discomfort that depictions of the Prophet may cause to muslims. However, depictions of the Prophet cannot be removed from the Depictions of Muhammad article, as they are central to that particular subject. This point has been discussed repeatedly on the talk page for that article, and consensus has been repeatedly reached that since Wikipedia refuses censorship, an article specifically dealing about depictions of Muhammad cannot be deprived of those depictions purely on religious grounds. I would be however in favour of removing all non-veiled pictures of him from the more general Muhammad article; that way, muslims that feel offended by pictures of the Prophet could read that article without problems, and simply abstain from visiting the page about his depictions. --Nehwyn (talk) 14:49, 5 December 2007 (UTC)


 * P.S. - I see you're trying to sign your comments, but not quite doing it right. There is an easy way: just press the signature button, it's the tenth from the left in the row of buttons just above the editing space. Thanks! --Nehwyn (talk) 14:55, 5 December 2007 (UTC)


 * You may also want to take a look at the Islam and blasphemy article. --Nehwyn (talk) 14:59, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

I agree. That would be sufficient, considering Wikipedia is an open encyclopedia. But what about that image from South Park? Is it kept there intentionally to make fun? Or those danish cartoons. I have serious reservations against them. What is your opinion? How does South Park image of the prophet relate to the subject in any way, other than making fun of the Prophet? --Gauhar 15:02, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

 * As-Salāmu `Alaykum. I've thought about this, and I've come to think they should stay there. It is important for people to know that media can be disrespectful of other people's religion, and that when they do that will only generate hostility. (Given the current world situation, I think hostility on these matters is just what we do not need.) After all, they are Depictions of Muhammad and therefore within the scope of that article. --Nehwyn (talk) 15:24, 5 December 2007 (UTC)


 * There has been a lot of discussion of this question, as you'll see on the article's talk page. Consensus is important at Wikipedia, and the consensus has been that Wikipedia is not censored to conform with any one religion's rules, but instead tries to fairly and accurately explain everything as completely and neutrally as possible.  You are welcome to participate in the discussion on the talk page, but in a matter as difficult to decide as this one, you should remember that you are only one of many people making this decision, and it is made by the whole community, and not by you alone. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 15:44, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

I'll try to edit it and make corrections asap. I'm still having a hard time using the Wikiedia interface, i'm not familiar with it yet. I'll make corrections asap. --Gauharjk (talk) 05:41, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
