---------------------- An extremist is someone who has an extreme view of things. Since these same people are using the prohibition against *any* depiction of *any* person, and then applying that *Solely* to the depiction of Muhammed, I'd say that's an extreme viewpoint.
It's also internally contradictory. If we were to give in to these demands, would their next demand to remove pictures of say Louis Farrekhan or Malcolm X or Osama bin Laden? These are also all humans.

We don't have to think about extremists, who don't want to see *any* picture, since they are probably already surfing with a text-only browser. ;-)
