If you possess a technical solution or are aware of how to construct one, please feel free to suggest it.

I'm guessing a "religion" drop-down menu in Special:Preferences is right out. :p
Seriously I doubt most of us can fathom how anybody can take so much offense to any particular image, regardless of its content. I know I can't.

Of course, plenty of Muslims are not offended by such images either - images of Muhammad appear in almost every other language version of Wikipedia, including Farsi, where the overwhelming majority of editors are likely to be practicing Muslims. But having to go to "special:preferences" is not much reduced from adding something to your monobook - and excludes IP editors, who make up a significant percentage of objectors.
