Wouldn't "solution" require the petitioners to agree to the idea that showing drawings of people they consider to be prophets can shown when the title of the page is called "depiction of X"?
Forget them. I checked, there's no references with those kinds of images in the Muhammad article, except those *directly* associated with those images. That they should be in the article is an extreme minority position in the references.
Yes, I'm actually arguing that we should do that, even if we weren't being petitioned. The NPOV seems to be NOT to include them.
It's an *indirect* effect of the prohibition within Islam, acting via the references, but we're not directly doing it because of that, we're doing it because of NPOV.
