And of course, the article should warn people at the beginning that it contains images of mohammad and direct them to the alternate page if they don't want to see them. Sure, some people are insane fanatics, but others aren't; I think those are simple steps that would diffuse a lot of this.

We should provide an alternate "Mohammad" page without any images on it. Telling people to edit their javascript is silly; most people aren't nearly tech savvy enough to understand what that even means (for example, they have to first understand that a web page can be displayed differently for different users).
