So what Muslims believe, 200,000, 200 million or one, has no bearing on our project. They have 5 billion pages on which they can display or hide any images they feel. Meanwhile, we should focus on improving the project, without regard to any outside feeling.

You evidently wish this.
But since reliable sources describe what they believe, that isn't in any way accurate, and many of these reliable sources are from Muslims talking about Islam as well as other topics.

But they ARE us, as are those such as myself who would avoid needless offense. There are sharp criticism to be made of Islam, that is unavoidable, displaying imaginary images is.
