Yes, we are making a point. We have some basic principles, and freedom from censorship is one of them. Just as we would never compromise with a free content license, so we would not here. The point we are making is that these are our values on the project. Anyone who wants to make an image-free fork can do so. That's part of our free license--they are complementary.

Wikipedia seems tobe trying to make a point. One wonders what it is?
The point is that we are a neutral encyclopaedia and those images have encyclopaedic value (that point has been disputed by some on the grounds that there is no reason to believe the person in the image bears any resemblance to Muhammad, and that's a point worth discussing, that it's against the customs of a particular people is not worth any discussion).
