Default 107,000 demand Wikipedia remove this image of Muhammed

107,000 protesters have signed an online petition demanding that Wikipedia take down this medieval image of the prophet Muhammad.



http://valleywag.com/353698/107000-d...ge-of-muhammed




Wikipedia link :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Muhammad/images

Responses from most Wikipedians on the talk page is fantastically fascinating to read, hundreds of muslims spamming the talk page, hoping to get their way, followed by simple replies of "a) No, you don't get it. b) You misunderstand Wikipedia. c) This is not a vote." amazing to see the 'might' of the religion flawed by such simple defiance, and the outrage it causes.

I mean, the religious are just so used to getting their way. It's amazing to see the tantrum they pull when they don't.

They die for the freaking dude.

blow themselves to bits for him ..

but they cannot look at pictures of what he may have looked like.

That is way messed up ...

Allah must be a Pu$$y then ..
because they cannot look at them in public either.

These are the people that American liberals think we can reason and rationalize with.

Pretty ignorant. But then, who's surprised?

Way to paint them all with a broad brush there, Fuhrer.

Why didn't you, or don't you, ever criticize people like Wes & Wildo when they loop all people of faith together in their bigotry? Hmmm....I see though, Obi gets it, but those others don't.

PC is the dictionary definition of hypocrisy... it was hilarious when Fog called him out on it a couple weeks ago about how he criticizes me for having put him in my KF - then he admitted he did the same thing to Harry Boy... Now I didn't read the entire conversation because I don't see his posts but his response (quoted in Fog's post) was hilarious..!! Something like (paraphrasing) "oh, well it's different when I do it"

I criticize Wes "privatize everything 9000%" Welker quite often. Wildo believes in seperation of church and state, as do I. If you can point to a thread where they offered generalizations regarding "people of faith" I suppose I could review it.

Obi "gets it" because he's a punk, an unprovoked instigator, and a profound biggot.

You suck at paraphrasing, on top of everything else you suck at. I offered a detailed explanation as to why the reasons were profoundly different. Also, for the sake of argument, I unblocked Harry, like I always do after I've had my break from him.

You, however, can't deal with me because I'm the one poster here who gives you the same business you use on everyone, and you can't stand that. Coward.
