This morning I discovered an online petition to censor images of the Prophet Mohammed on Wikipedia. Initially I thought Muslims were angry with Wikipedia having the Danish caricatures on their site, but to my surprise the petition was not aimed at those! It is instead aimed at a few historical depictions of Mohammed on this entry.
The petition’s creator claims that any depiction of the Prophet Muhammed is offensive, even if the creator was a Muslim himself. The petition has gathered over 100,000 signatures thus far and has received a fair share of media attention. You can read more about the petition here.
Wikipedia’s response was short and sweet. They simply stated, “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.”
I agree with this stance, as I’m sure many of you do. It is for that reason I have created an online petition to support Wikipedia on this matter and demand that the images stay put. I ask that you take a minute of your time and please sign this petition if you are against censorship. I also ask that you spread this petition far and wide. Place it on any forums and/or websites that are appropriate.

“if we are not causing harm like terrorists then what have you got against us?”
Just because you’re not blowing up building doesn’t mean you aren’t doing harm. As I have said before, just the fact that a terrorist can use their belief in whatever religion as an excuse to murder or harm is enough reason to get rid of ALL religion.
in the name of allah the all merciful the compasionate
@ corso, you actually made me laugh at that alst responce, not in a sarcastic way just laugh coz it was a funny responce. i used the pig teacher thing as an example, im not all knowing but how do i know that by me eating pork it is going to benifit me? i would rather refrain from eating it at all and have no risk rather than to risk eating it. i do not have to eat pork to survive. what about vegeterians? isnt it amazing how people always single out islam? i respect veggies for standing up for what they believe in.
@ irish.t
now i remember, i think it was u that used to be a muslim not corso. what kind of irrational reply was that? you just love critisisng my religion blindly. i hope you enjoy your life, because remember after you die you rot and theer is no hereafter. when to your surprise there is, it will be too late to say sorry. go against islam all you want, true islam will continue to live in the hearts of the truelly pious people.

“what kind of irrational reply was that? you just love critisisng my religion blindly.”
Whats irrational is thinking that the “good” you believe your religion does somehow offsets the innocent people murdered in it’s name. By the way, just because I’m criticizes your religion doesn’t mean I’m doing it blindly. As I’ve told you, I have read the quran and researched pretty much every major religion you can think of.
What kind of mercy does this Allah offer, exactly?!? By the time he offers proof of his existence it’s too late to make up our minds. He expects us to accept him on scant evidence first? Why? Why not offer universal and incontrovertible proof of his existence now? He is all-powerful after all. That would be the merciful thing to do. Otherwise, he’s purposely deceiving people into eternal torment. What an ass.
What makes your interpretation and practice of Islam ‘true’ Islam? Are you suggesting it’s impossible for non-Muslims to be pious?
Well, that’s the problem with all deities.
1 – They’re all knowing.
2 – They’re all powerfull.
3 – They’re benevolent.
Then, they create world, full of people for who they know exactly how their lives will turn out. Many of these people will be sent to hell, because the deity hasn’t offered enough evidence for his existence.
Now, why does the deity not offer evidence?
A – They don’t know we will reject them (breaks 1)
B – They can’t (breaks 2)
C – They don’t want to (breaks 3)
conclusion: your god doesn’t exist.
in the name of allah, the all merciful, the compasionate
alcari,
thats an irrational answer, it is up to the individual to distinguish between right and wrong…
the reason there are athiests today is mostly because they fail to see the evidence in creation as wel;l as evidence in mans own instinct. it is illogical to believe your creation is an accident and you have no purpose otherwise morality would not exist, otherwise we would not value our selves and understand morality at even a fundemental level.
god has offered more than enough evidence, if god made it blatent that he existed then the good from the bad would not be seperate and there would be no need for an afterlife. what did you to deserve existenece? you exist because of the mercy of your lord. yet out of ignorance you refuse to acknowledge his existence yet alone his mercy…
may god forgive us of our crimes…
God is merciful in yet runs his own concentration camp called hell! Ever think of that? It turns out god’s concentration camp is far worse than anything the nazis or communists came up with and yuo never get out and all because one does’nt believe.A celestial auschwitz if you please run by a merciful god.Hello doublethink!Lots of threats and promises just like in a chain letter only hundreds of pages long.The perfect mind virus. justoneangel.blogspot.com
can’t we all just discuss this in a fair and civil manner without making things personal? We all have different opinions, and that i understand but please, i think we could do without the name calling when really it is not th person you are arguing with, but the issue you are arguing with the other person, you are just arguing opposite sides.

I agree let’s all be civil in the matters of the only truth.
hello worldPEACE,
I didn’t read through all the comments, but the ones I did read were civil and didn’t resort to name-calling. Could you please point out where people have been uncivil? Thanks.
Muslim Boy,
Do animals have the right in believing in a kind of animal God? Your faith forces you in the understanding that life is not accidental but ordained and brought about by some sort of creator! If that’s the case then why was mankind not ‘created’ BEFORE the animal kingdom. Science has proved quite the opposite, or have I missed something here?
so can sum one tell me if it is true if an Islamic man was to kill a white man like one of those bombers at 911 do they Belvia there going to get 72 virgins?
My new religion Porkers-r-us offers 73 virgins and life in the Pigdom of Bacon if the killing stops. I can go higher.
Bidder up. Do I hear 74 from the man in the rag-top?
I’m not ribbing you. Can you ear me?
