I think I would accept that some language wikis decide, by consensus,
that they will not show illustrations of Mohammed under any
circumstances.

They should not ask for a boycott of another language, though. They
could have a protest page with a list of users who want to sign up to
it. Sticking a banner on the main page - and worse; as the only
content - I disagree with.

Paedophilia is unlawful all around the world; but let's say it were
legal in one culture and an associated language wiki hosted pictures
of sex acts with minors; I think en:wp would correctly be in uproar. I
don't think we would respond by having the issue on our front page in
any form and especially not as the single item of content.
