Re: 107,000 demand Wikipedia remove this image of Muhammed
In the strictest sense, the Islamic prohibition against Idolatry is often interpreted to forbid the portrayal of the human form in art. But this view has never been universal in the Islamic world, as even a little casual research shows.
What seems really strange to me is that Wikipedia gets singled out. I just googled images of Mohammed, and I can assure you that of the over 2 million hits, many illustrations are far more inflammatory.
Still, I'm not too surprised at the outrage, it's typical of extremists of all stripes to be outraged when the rest of the world refuses to conform to their vision.
