Now might be an interesting time to mention the usual
excuse when
religious fanatics are blowing up a market, an embassy or a subway
train: Islam means peace.
Did I say excuse? I am sorry, I meant refutation. The excuse is
usually a variation of "You offended me".
Next time, one out 1 billion muslims forgets his/her good manners, the
ones responsible are: You, Wikipedians, thanks to our policy to spread
knowledge (which we all know is the greatest enemy any kind of
religion).
A nice place to observe peacefulness under the label of a religion can
be found at a petition
http://www.petitiononline.com/mod_perl/signed.cgi?mjk123&1 to the
"Wikepedia Authorities" to apply sharia to
wikipedia.org content, as
interpreted by the undersigned. The petition can be found at

They've got 50 sigs big deal. Yes having the images of Mohamed in the
Mohamed article is upsetting Muslims but so far ~<1% of responses to
the larger online petition (now up to 62K sigs) have suggested
violence. Compares well to things like animal rights or flag buring or
other silly things westerners get upset about.
