"Muslims protest Wikipedia images of Muhammad."
This means that if you go to
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhammad, you will
be showing disrespect for religious fundamentalists who want to
control what you know and see.
So do not go to
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhammad.
Remember. It is
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhammad that you should not go to.
By the way, I consider this sort of press response fantastically
unhelpful to us getting this right.

Indeed, I've discussed this a bit with Itaqallah and others, and
suspect there's absolutely no hope of dealing with the issue until the
press can't give two shits anymore.
