Wikipedia Shows Some Backbone
Wikipedia may not be any more reliable than the mainstream media when it comes to facts, but it does have more backbone. The page on the baby-raping brigand who founded Islam includes pictures like this one:
Muslims are offended yet again, because they don't like pictures, especially of their bloodthirsty prophet. They've circulated a petition, demanding the pictures be removed. Wikipedia's response:
Please note that discussion on this talk page has determined that pictures of Muhammad will not be removed from this article and any removal of the pictures without discussion here first will be reverted on sight.
The MSM weenies too cowardly to show us what the Cartoon Intifada was all about might restore some of their lost credibility by following Wikipedia's example.

We'll see how long this lasts. Not to take credit away from Wikipedia for being brave, but the battle has only just started, it is easy to hide behind the web at first, and a lot of initially brave people have thrown in the towel after the thundering, murderous Islamic hordes have gone after their necks. Wikipedia has not yet had to deal with run-of-the-mill Islamic activities such as assassination or car torching, nor has Wikipedia had to stand up to politicians and citizens alike saying "Well, there should be free speech, but come on, it shouldn't extend to offending people, Wikipedia", just like in Europe and, to a lesser degree but increasingly, in the US. So...let me sum up by saying, Bravo Wikipedia! May you continue to be brave and strong! You have balls. And if you capitulate sometime in the next month, I won't hold it 100 % against you, because no one has yet been able to stand up to the raiders once they come on in force. Not yet, anyway.

Wheres the hilarious cartoons like the one with Mohammad wearing a turban with a bomb in it? LOL! Those should be in the Wikipedia article.
Remember, you cant spell MoHAMmad with out HAM. I could sure go for a ham sandwich with spicy brown mustard. Grey Poupon maybe?

'"Narrated ‘Aisha: Allah’s Apostle said, ‘The painter of these pictures will be punished on the Day of Resurrection, and it will be said to them, Make alive what you have created.’" Bukhari vol.9 book 93 no.646 p.487."' from "Answering Islam"
As reported by the little girl Muhammad raped, painters of pictures will be asked to make alive what they have painted. And we don't want that to happen!
Seriously though, it's unclear in the Koran and Hadith whether painting pictures of people is actually forbidden. It could be considered idolatry I guess, but coming from folks who worship a meteorite and a black cube, it's hard to take charges of idolatry very seriously.

That black cube is actually the puzzle box from HELL RAISER. Pinhead is hiding inside.

I signed the petition as Theo van Gogh with the comment, "For God's sake do what these people say!!!"

And many Muslims fear dogs as well, though the only thing their holy texts say is not to have a doggy pic in your house or Allah's blessing will bounce like a hippie's check.
