First of all [[Muhammad]] is not semi-protected, it is full-protected. Secondly the protection is a violation of [[WP:PROT]] which states, that "Administrators should not protect or unprotect a page for [edit warring] if they are in any way involved in the dispute.".
I would be happy, as an heretofore uninvolved admin, to go redo the protection so it's done by an admin who hasn't been involved.
That would be a symbolic moot point, so it's probably not worth bothering with, but if you insist on the technicality I will do so at the next opportunity. george.herbert@gmail.com
I went to review the protection history; as it stands now, it was reduced to semi-protection by Tariqabjotuhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Tariqabjotu yesterday. So it's not even full-protected anymore, and only seeing a moderate degree of reversion since then.
That's interesting, because my request for unprotection has been declined by both the protecting admin and Wikipedia:Requests_for_page_protection.
